I'm not sure that fairness is a stupid metric, even though it is often an irrational one. Humans are evolved to be exquisitely sensitive to unfairness, and unfairness outside of acceptable ranges leads to a lot of human misery (envy) and poor decision-making (e.g. Communism). I think engineering a society that humans enjoy or at least tolerate is easier than engineering humans.
Also, I think the relative numbers matter here. If every American receives $100, but 100 Americans receive $100 billion, which they then use to engage in zero-sum competition (status, political power, mates, land), you may experience a net decrease in utility.
Hah, I can't compare to that, but I do some minor violin-fixing stuff as a hobby. Recently I spent a decent amount of time repairing a 100 year old German violin, and (at first) it's exactly like you describe: you feel like you're going to destroy everything. Like you're playing football with a Prince Rupert's Drop. But then you get into a bit of a pattern with the instrument, and you start to feel more confident... which funny enough isn't a good thing, cause that's when you screw up.

Make no mistake, I love it though, and the finished product is absolutely gorgeous.
I've been 100% remote for the last 8 years. I recently have been commuting for personal reasons and its only 30 min each way and I can already feel the drain it causes. Over a working career a normal commute(30min-1hour) each way can add up to a massive amount of lost time. Working remote is optimal for the kind of work I'm doing now. Previously I was running a larger business and we started to run into issues around 50 people on a remote team. There's advantages to both. I think the ideal environment is 4 days remote, 1 day in an office for in person meetings. To combat being out of contact with people in the business/industry, I attend as many conferences and meetups as I can.

Nice. Does it work under Linux too?
I can think of 100 different decentralized [insert use case] ideas. Does that mean we'll need 100 different server and client implementations? I hope not.

Your specific note-taking use case is not special enough to justify investing in your solution. If you introduced a general-purpose platform to build decentralized apps, you would have more of my attention.

Please note that this comes from someone who dismisses any solution that don't aim to solve everything.

Initially, I was very confused about why this is a good idea. Before the web, feature "productization" was the always part of design of the system and of each module: in other words, each feature should be disabled based on some criteria (i.e., like not ready for release, insufficient licenses), measured, etc.

But then after a few minutes... I kinda got it. I think this is a great tool for marketing, biz, and product management in organizations where the overall organization structure is kinda messed up and they cannot convince development to do things right. Which is 90% of companies. Very similar to hiring external management consulting services: since nobody in the company is capable to organize this.

Hiphop is not the driving force anymore, also it did not care about harmony at all in a special way. Hiphops focus has always been on rythm. The essence of hiphop is the political rap combined with sampling (pirate citations of all kind creatively layered together). Hiphop (especially rap) has been culturally annihilated.

That's just a sign of bad or nonexistent management. If you're managing remote people you need to know what they're working on, and you need to make sure it's aligned with the company's goals. If that's not happening you're not doing your job.

My wife and I have two cats and I work out of the house and getting automatic feeders was a godsend. They used to routinely wake us in the middle of the night by meowing and jumping on us, and meow incessantly in the evenings. Our feeders give them a little bit of food five times a day and they no longer meow at us when they're hungry; they sit by their feeder and wait for the food. We cuddle with them multiple times a day and play with them as much as possible, and they are incredibly loved. I like your sentiment that cats should be more than just fixtures in our household, but I feel your advice is a bit unfair.
The laws exist to remove legal culpability. It's not throwing our hands up, it's recognizing the source of the problem.

Until we fix the laws, the entire point of a corporation is to diffuse legal responsibility.

Yes, it needs to change, but it can't change from the ignorant position that we're fixing leaks and will eventually have a waterproof system. It's intentionally setup to be this way and nothing short of an entire overhauling will fix it.
There are plenty of zero-cost C++ wrappers available, including the official bindings. Most people who use OpenCL from C++ tend to accumulate their own convenience wrappers over time. The rest of those languages have fairly easy interoperability with C code and therefore access to the C api, though some may also have established convenience libraries. I wouldn't suggest .NET or Haskell for most serious GPGPU work, but Python, Julia, Fortran and others are frequently used. The PyOpenCL library is particularly excellent.

If you were referring to the kernel language (a restricted subset of C99), I don't find that to be a disadvantage in practice. While CUDA supports a fairly useful subset of C++ (most notably, templates), I still find host-side metaprogramming to generate kernel code to be a much more useful approach in most cases. Of course your preferences may vary, but I haven't seen many experienced GPGPU people express dissatisfaction with this point.
Unless of course, you are trying to store the maturity date of a thirty year bond or mortgage.

> Yeah, sorry, Libertarianism is more like a religion than a system of governance.

Though I support Libertarianism, my post was not about it. I am saying, 10 small socialist nations > 1 big socialist nation. 10 small Apple > 1 big Apple. My point is big state or corporation is risky and can abuse their powers. We have anti-competition organisations for corporations. We should have for states too. If people of a region wants to secede out of a socialist/capitialist/etc regime we should all support.

Like, maybe, all Libertarians, I support non violence. I dont see how that would happen.

> who's only power at the moment is our vote

Vote is not power. The elected may have powers. But not voters. A widespread misunderstanding.

Vote in exchange for personal freedom only favours elected & friends. People are now realizing this.

> (and even that has been eroded over the last 40 years.)

Yes the world is correcting itself. Vote is not a power. Its productiveness or how useful/neccessery you are to others. To gain productivity you need freedom, thats what I advocate for.

> You do get told what your tax money will be used for.

Thats not really same as Apple wooing me for iPhone.

> So memory management in Rust is certainly not a solved problem.

This looks like nay-saying just for the sake of it, but in case you're actually just confused:

Rust isn't reference counted unless you yourself add reference counting. Rust tracks ownership in the compiler so it knows statically, at compile time, when an object needs to be freed, and the compiler emits the code to do the freeing in that spot. Rc is a utility function: you can choose to opt into reference counting on a per object basis. But if you're not actually typing Rc yourself then it's not happening. Rust is no more reference counted than the ability to build the same thing in C makes C a reference counted language.
Yesterday I was looking for something like Recurly that also has a free tier, I ended up finding a service I hadn't heard of before called ChargeBee (it has a launch tier for up to $50k free). Does anyone have any experience with them or know of any other alternatives with a free tier?

Also, to the author, I would add the github student pack to that list you can get $100 of DigitalOcean credit for free among other things.

We tried this with our cat for years. He had a designated feeding time. We never broke it. His internal clock is pretty good but not exact, so he starts to pester for food an hour or two before feeding time.

So he would surely wake us up if fed at 7:00am, so one solution is to feed at night. This results in a cat constantly underfoot begging for food for two hours, which is literally a tripping hazard.

The solution is to feed him from a machine and to make sure he never sees us touching the machine. Now, at feeding time he sits by the machine and stares at it, waiting for it to open.

The "relationships" section of the post did not mention quality assurance team members. I find that a strong QA team patrolling the bug tracker protects developers from a lot of noise. My own experience is with desktop software and I can imagine it might be harder to assemble a large team for a programming language, but I urge everyone to give it a shot.

> FDA ensure that it's working correctly

This isn't really how it works. The FDA will expect you to be able to produce evidence that you know it works correctly, but they're not responsible (or IMO capable) of determining whether devices work correctly. You make claims about what a device does, and you substantiate the claims with evidence. In addition, you create design and production controls that help avoid and mitigate device defects. The FDA can review your controls and defect records. The FDA will focus in particular on defects related to your device's hazards. Interestingly enough many medical device's hazards are related to the harm you might cause someone by accidentally dropping or shocking a patient or caregiver. While misdiagnosis-due-to-defect is a serious hazard, it can be mitigated to some extent by referring to the skilled physician/technician operating the device.

IMO the controls are good practices that most business would do anyways. They would give them special attention because of regulatory control. But it's true: the cost of audits and other items related exclusively to regulation aren't free, and do add some effective cost to the device.

> huge constraints on innovation and growth in this area.

I think fear of the regulation being overly burdensome does limit innovation here. Is it a net win? I'm not sure. IMO the government could mitigate this by offering DARPA-challenge style grant competitions and marketing regarding the scope of their regulatory domain.

Learners should read and write lots of Rust. That's a great way to learn what is idiomatic. There will be early missteps, but thankfully the language makes it more comfortable when you do things the right way.

> personally am much more distracted at home because "I'm home". When I'm at work, I'm in work mode.

Not sure if you've tried this or if it's practical for you, but I've found that having a completely dedicated space, with dedicated tools, can create a working context that helps boost productivity. I won't name them due to privacy concerns but my company has been very good about dealing with remote workers and provides a basic set of office amenities to any worker who is selected to go remote (convertible standup desk, remote access point with office telephone, all-in-one printer w/ ink refills, etc.)

> Over the years, I can't even count the number of times that I heard a conversation taking place and was able to step in and say "that's wrong" and stop several people from a multiple day detour.

I'm not sure what your experience is but a trend I've noticed is that this tends to occur when only a subset of team members are remote - in fully-remote teams the use of collaboration tools (mailing lists, Jabber, IRC, etc) can often replicate these kinds of ad-hoc conversations with the added bonus of automatically capturing the information discussed.

I generally think environments where ad-hoc conversations are necessary to maintain overall effectiveness as being tool deficient.
> I fail to see the logic here.

Most people are not concerned about Chrome, iOS or Android auto-updating; I'm sure you can see that you're an outlier here.

FOSS software might not have automatic updates, but if you do any sort of update where you don't verify the blob you got is the same one as everyone else you have exactly the same problem.

I largely expect that unless you get super paranoid about this (and hey, we're on HN, so that's a possibility), you're not really going to stop a sophisticated government adversary. And at the point where you're on a specifically targeted list, they will probably not limit themselves to the digital world.

I also think that expecting this level of privacy where the government cannot figure out what you're doing is a historical anomaly; most people who avoided telephones because the government could be listening are generally considered crazy people.

Does the government target people in a violation of their civil rights? Yes, but you probably know if you're doing something the government doesn't like, and it does not seem sensible to argue that people should become experts in technology and then give up a lot of benefits to avoid a risk that is not real for them.

According to the link you provided, the bass bars were replaced with bigger bass bars to handle the tension of modern strings. So, it wasn't as if they didn't have bass bars to begin with (which is sort of implied by your wording).

For what it's worth, replacing the bass bar or braces periodically could be considered part of the expected maintenance of some arch-top instruments. When or how often it's needed is debatable, but instrument tops will sag over time due to pressure.

This is a correct reading of my remark. I happen to agree with the opinion of the followup as well, monkey-patching in production is a code stench.

Still I plead guilty to having occasionally monkey-patched prod code out of urgent necessity. My recommendation is to view it like an advanced and undesirable form of configuration; for my rails apps, each such hack always goes in an initializer file named for the library it is patching. If you are replacing third-party methods (or undermining the behaviour of a third-party method) and those methods are not called very frequently then judicious use of log noise e.g. through the deprecation mechanism will help at debug time.
I pretty much strongly agree but I will offer one defence of "work rules" that isn't completely pointy-haired.

The reality is that not everyone has the same level of productivity or commitment. With a few rules it's often possible to get more than their salary's cost out of them. Sure, we'd all like to work in an environment of nothing but awesome co-workers, but that doesn't scale. Hell, you presumably support "rules" like "we've decided that the implementation language is L" so everybody's code works together.

What is brain damaged is that some companies are too stupid or fearful to understand when the rules do and don't apply.

The government should be directly subsidizing education for the poor. In the long run, it's a lot cheaper then letting them continue to be poor.

There are ways to do this, and, at the same time, limit upward price pressures. Also, it does so already, as if you default on your student loans, the lender still gets paid - but the government foots the bill.
Its not exactly clear though, as far as I can tell "commercial features" just means JRocket Mission Control (which is a very cool bit of kit.... debugging production systems remotely with negligable performance hit, seriously you know you should be paying for that)

Why is the EU going after Apple now? They knew of this tax haven for years. It's the EU's fault for letting one of its members do this. The fact that they are trying to change the tax code in Ireland AND retroactively apply those laws is bananas.

It's pretty obvious why: Nvidia's top 5 GPUs wipe the floor with every current AMD offering.

The GTX 1070, GTX 1080, Titan XP, Quadro P6000, and Tesla P100 are all faster than every AMD GPU in similar price brackets.

Additionally, GloFo 14nm (used by AMD Polaris) is generally thought to be less efficient than TSMC 16nm FF+ (used by Nvidia Pascal).

Meh. I'd rather get one of the dual-xeon setups I listed. For the same price you're getting a quarter of the ram, half the processing power, a quarter of the CPU cache. It will do better in single-threaded apps, so it all depends on the tasks you're facing. I do lots of 3D rendering, so I'd pick more cores, RAM and cache.

The other advantages of your setup are power efficiency and NVMe.

I work in Sydney Australia where we are over this hurdle. Key i think is making it a city wide conversation (where is the best place for new housing and how fast is the city growing. Its not just about the existing local residents but the wider community too), showing good examples where towers are part of a nice environment (not just 1960s public housing estates. Vancouver is a good city example who has adopted towers well) and demonstating the effect of not just 1 development but if all of ita neighbours developed similarly the city would still function.

Of course towers also open up a range of other issues like open space provision, sunlight, separation, street wall heights and setbacks, contributions to improving streets, parks, schools etc. To really be successful it needs an organised planninng approach for each centre
