You're confusing language development with autonomous vehicle development. Think of the long term goal. It's desirable to move fast and fix things with language development in the near term, to achieve a more perfect design and accelerate its maturation at the temporary cost of more volatility. After this process achieves a high level of maturity, said design principles may offer a safer, more reliable programming system that would be better suited to safety-critical applications.

Additionally I'm sure we can all agree there is no substitute for maturation through time and usage in the field. Which frankly is an argument for more popular languages over obscure ones. None of the ones you mentioned are ready for safety-critical system development (including Swift 3), but which one is most likely to achieve widespread adoption and field testing in the long run?

More of a pebble.

I would prefer if political units were self-organizing and not arranged by leaders at all. In Switzerland, a part of a canton can form a new canton if it prefers or merge with a neighboring canton. This rarely happens, perhaps because the current arrangement is good enough. And the incentive to take an area for granted is minimal.

I have big screens but side by side diffs on unformatted code on GitHub are always wrapped. Plus I often split my screen. Not everyone uses maximized windows all the time, and in a shared codebase sometimes you want to try and cater to everyone.
It’s been interesting seeing the pricing difference between tech’s take on monetizing meditation (cheap subscriptions or high-priced lifetime access) and those done by the mindfulness “thought leaders” or Sounds True (varying levels of lifetime access ranging from very cheap to very high-priced).
It's easy enough to imagine reasons why. Especially when a business classifies entire divisions as being either a cost or profit center, customer support tends to lose out and be considered a cost center. Every penny that goes into a so-called cost center is then scrutinized and subject to being deemed frivolous.

It's no wonder, then, that spending money and engineering time on something that would cause customers to be something unmeasurable, like being slightly less aggravated, is not prioritized or even cut, as being extravagant. To that end, despite Comcast and airlines low customer satisfaction ratings, they seem to be doing alright.

I had listened to black metal for years, and avoid all of it with racist messages yet I even have listened to Burzum (mostly Filosofem), which doesn't itself have any racist messages I am aware of. Not like I listen for the lyrics. But it can be a "danger" since I did read into some of the shit Varg has written.. but the great majority of the music has no racist messages.

I was really into Darkthrone and still think they're okay, and I have nothing against any race or ethnicity.

You're moving the goalposts.

1) Autofocus can be turned off if you don't like it.

2) There's no (electronic) "screen" involved when you're looking through the viewfinder of a good digital SLR. It works exactly the same way as the viewfinder on film SLR. Exactly.

3) The same is true with respect to "sensors". Every DSLR I've used lets you shoot in full manual mode. No sensors involved.

4) I'm not sure what "video" has to do with it, since you can't take video on a (still) film SLR anyway.

Theoretically, an editor could. I have yet to see one that does this well. Most do dumb wrapping, with no language sensitivity.

I think it's just a matter of programmer habit now -- folks expect their editor to mirror the code without formatting tweaks.

It gets confusing when you realize that programmers may insert their own indentation and wrapping, and sometimes you want to make this part of the actual file, and sometimes you want to remove it before serializing.
In the intro, it is stated that "literally five or less" cities do not have these monetary problems. I'm curious what those cities are, and why are they special. If the answer isn't "they've always used accrual accounting", I don't buy that most cities are doomed due to accounting problems.
Interesting. I'm aware of angel investing, and appreciate that low investments can single-handedly push a concept forward.
I've never found the source of that statistic, but a non-profit I work closely with is called The Exodus Road. Through them it takes $3000 to fund the investigative work leading up to a brothel raid. They then estimate that for every pimp they take down from that raid (they often take down multiples as well as saving young girls), they save 200 girls into the future. So doing that math it comes out to $15 per girl saved from entering the industry by taking down a pimp.

Figures change as do metrics. But I think at the time that figure might have come from IJM (International Justice Mission), but I can't be certain.

It would be neat if there was a Go Playground running the latest beta/RC version of Go. (Or is there?)

I wanted to quickly test out the new struct type conversion behavior and obviously my code[1] doesn't compile on the normal playground.

Perhaps interesting to note, the `beta.golang.org`[2] homepage specifically adds an inline `display:none` style to the div containing the mini Go Playground which is normally on the `golang.org`[3] homepage - removing that style in the Chrome inspector, you can see the mini Playground, but it doesn't work. Upon closer inspection, the code to init the playground is still there, but the `playground.js` script isn't – the init code, however, checks for this so it doesn't throw any errors.

I like the attention to detail, at least – you don't want the homepage for a beta version to have the plaground running the current stable release version; that would be pretty confusing. Still, I wonder why the HTML and JS initialization code for the playground is still there? If they went through the effort to add a `display:none` style to the HTML and a condition to check if the Playground script is available, why not just remove it entirely?

Just my random thoughts - obviously not a big deal at all, I just found it interesting!

> Why does the formatter need to solve this and not the editor? The editor has more information available to it, like the present screen space.

Because making the line wrapping nice requires deep syntax-aware editor integration. Most languages try to be at least somewhat plain-text-editor-friendly.
Missing what Apple Watch users want?

It seems for the most part that these are the most common issues: it isn't a phone replacement (no cellular connectivity) and the battery life is terrible.

For me as a Watch owner the battery life could be better but I don't want or have a need for it to have a cellular connection.

Just curious about how the product design of the watch is seriously wrong (same with the iPhone 7 other than it lacking a headphone jack).

My logic was that the article says he only plays _seriously_ with Draven, which allows him to consistently rank up. He then trolls/feeds when Draven is unavailable to him due to roster lock-out. Presumably he finds it a challenge to rank-up with Draven over and over. If he can't play as Draven he can't rank-up and _may_ stop playing. Or worse case his rank will be so bad that he'll only feed in low-rank games.

Either that or the LoL community should collectively agree to roster out Draven of every single match for the foreseeable future.

> It would be neat if there was a Go Playground running the latest beta/RC version of Go. (Or is there?)

umm, no, not automagically. the playground is restricted. it would require some work to be put in to make it work with the latest release. that work isn't available for free.
This is my feeling too. Yes, I'm a scientist, so I'm from that side of the pond, but does it make sense to hire a developer type for engineering where lives could be at stake?

Not that dev'ing should rise to that level, but it isn't the typical level most developers work at. Also, if he is more of a "software correctness and reliability" guy as abalone says he is, then yes, that is the right direction.
Yep no worries—I was wondering why you wouldn't have known such a "basic" thing, and now I'm more knowledgeable because of it =)
Forensics fascinated me all through high school. The IT guy got sick of me bypassing his security, and so tasked me with finding the holes, basically making a destructive bored student into an asset.

When I hit university, they were looking for a entry level security jack-of-all-trades. Thanks to prior and doing well when interviewed by the sysadmin, which partially involved breaking in to a VM, they hired me.

The uni was a subcontractor for the police, and i got pushed to the forensics team by consistently bypassing encryption and recovering data faster than the team, with more information. Like three files were deleted at the same time, because they shared fragmentation with this page file. My age was constantly questioned in-court, but a good track record, and the ability to make a jury laugh were usually enough to get the lawyer to review my skill instead.

It isn't unusual for university's to be employed by government in Australia, and my university also had a partnership with IBM.

Support-wise, I had a team of business psychs at IBM and the uni, which was useless, and a trauma team through Victoria Police, and they were amazing.

Wouldn't have made two years without the trauma team. Many coffees, tears and angry rants.

Having someone you can talk to about an active case was always nice.

I was never meant to know who the defendant might be, but a profile photo, and video of the same person hitting a child who called them daddy... And I'd be ranting in the office.

The police team had the training and experience to get the anger down, and focus me on the task of ensuring that I scoured the machine for every tiny piece of information.

Let's end on a happy note: A man was accused of murdering his daughter. Instead, I found her emails about running away and framing him, and Missing Persons used that to find her. The guy got aquitted. That was a good day.

For one I don't live in the US and I would have tremendous respect for anyone who would actually do this without being a nazi, trying to break the conditioning.

A beautiful women with an nice artistic face tattoo should do it, that could work I guess.

In Germany you need to be very crazy to do this, here you are legally forbidden to question anything about the Holocaust, I am not speaking of denial here, I speak of actually presenting any sort of evidence to a court. If you question anything about whats written in history books, lets say the number of Jews killed by the Nazis you are going to jail without a trail. You will be not allowed to submit anything to court. If you not blindly believe anything they tell you, your a criminal. You are not allowed to question anything about it at all. Now imagine how people react of you have a swastika on your head. Its probably illegal, I don't know but things are that crazy here. Swastikas were removed from video games where you actually fight the Nazis! People are crazy.

What is called conservative in the US and is perfectly normal for you, is called far right here. The political mid here what you call radical left. So in Germany's PC think I might actually be a Nazi.

This is why I don't comment on HN.

Maybe I'm stupid and just always make stupid comments, but I think the attitude you displayed with your "umm, no" is way too common around here. Is it too hard for you to not be condescending when making a counter argument?

Edit: After re-reading both my comment and yours, I'm not sure if you were using the "umm, no" innocently in response to the `(Or is there?)` at the end of my sentence, or if you were trying to say it in a condescending way. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it was the former. I'm not trying to be one of those SJW people who gets offended at any little thing.

Regarding the rest of your comment:

> the playground is restricted

What exactly do you mean by that?

> automagically

And that?

I'm referring to large RCs like this. I think a lot of people want to test out new features/changes without pulling the latest version to their machine right away.

That work is going to have to be done anyway before the final release, right? And I can't really imagine it would be a lot of work, I would think _maybe_ a few things would break, but otherwise it should work?

And if you think I mean to have the normal `play.golang.org` start using the latest RC, that's not what I mean - I would imagine it would either be on a separate subdomain, like `play.beta.golang.org`. Or, have a dropdown on the main Playground, but that might be potentially confusing?
Summary: infrastructure costs to maintain spread out exurb style development end up being more than the incremental tax revenue, especially when you consider replacement costs and the potential for future higher borrowing costs.

Property developers (along with car dealerships) are by far the strongest advocacy groups in many areas. It's not totally surprising that they've managed to capture the local government and push them towards counterproductive development that ends up being a massive subsidy from the taxpayers.
To be fair, it's more secure in the sense that someone who gets access to their domain name service can't generate their own OV cert without more access.

They could however create their own DV cert.

So while it uses the same technology, if you see an OC cert you can be more sure that it's the actual organization and not a cert that just proves that the domain is the domain.
> all I can say is, buy a B+ domain name, expect B+ results.

Fair enough. I guess the expense could be justifiable if a good domain name really helps. I'm just wondering about quantifying the risks/costs.

If it fails, you can resell it, but how often do domain names increase vs. decrease in value?

Also, how often do you end up not using an expensive domain name, or find out it was a dud?
Is this a serious post?

I make a great living off Adwords. God bless it.
Spitballing here, but I assume once cities with large enough density, e.g. skyscrapers, reach past a certain threshold, the amount of revenue as a result of high density overtakes the cost of horizontal expansion. Highly concentrated cities, such as NYC/LA/Chicago, are examples of these.
The best kind!
