>Unfortunately, in our political climate one side of this debate has people who can say, "it seems like" and that's it.

The joke is that everybody does that. Most people are just totally blind to their own side's issues.

Now watch as people begin commenting to say that their side isn't like that..,

I still have a project on 1.2!

Oddly, this has yet to happen to me. But I'm still thinking about reverting to Windows 7 if Vulkan adoption continues to take off (and most of my games still use dx9) because the only reason why I updated to Windows 10 was for dx12. So I feel I get no value out of it since I don't play games that ever use it.
The state is cutting all education funding bit by bit. Its a problem nationwide-and the worst part is that here in Michigan its not even 'that bad' compared to other states. Public universities across the country are struggling. Its become so bad that there has been talk about our University giving up its public status and going private. It'd free us from a lot of state rules and the funding from the state has gotten so minimal that the loss of it isn't the deciding factor any longer about going private.
Now that this exists I think it's worth creating an opensource version of the TI-Nspire for engineers & mathamaticians. Something based on cheap hardware, runs linux, and can implement this + a theorum prover to basically make the most handy lab calculator.
I appreciate the question!

Have you ever worked on job applications where you had to spend 45 - 60 mins just to complete the essays and cover letter trying your best to match your skills to what you think is needed? If you are talking to a chatbot while applying for the job it would take no more than 15 - 20 mins answering targeted questions about your background. No essays, just specific questions about projects that the chatbot found on your resume uploaded.

1. That saves the candidate's time she doesn't have to guess what info is required
2. If the employer is okay with it, the chatbot has the ability to give feedback as to why the candidate is not suitable at this time...saying something like we are looking for candidates with more experience in recommendation systems etc.

The chatbot doesn't do well as an interview tool in all contexts. (the contexts you and I have in mind may be different) It would be horrible to assess very experienced people with it. But it is a great tool to shortlist the people you want to interview in person and really spend time with before making the hiring decision. It's great for when 100s of candidates apply for the same job. It's also really good for blue collar positions.

In Asia we have startups using our chatbot because they are growing really fast and their existing team can't handle the pace at which they are receiving applications.

On the subject matter question, we are building ontologies for the chatbot to understand certain kinds of jobs and skills associated with them.
It doesn't work for me any longer (maybe since a few days ago).
> some critical packages that aren't on Python 3 yet

[citation needed]

Pretty much all critical packages now work on 3, as witnessed by the Wall of Superpowers.

Maybe some django-specific lib is still 2-only? In which case, rewrites/forks should be relatively trivial and I'm even happy to have a look myself.
SMACK stack from the trenches
This. Not having to deal with “UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte” at random places and times is a godsend.
One day sounds impressive. What's your strategy?
You're right. Their API looks awfully similar to ES though.
If you want to use the Django staticfiles system (which you do - it's good and useful for non-js stuff as well), it kinda does.

We use Django Webpack Loader for our sites: https://github.com/owais/django-webpack-loader - This allows us to do `{% render_bundle ... %} which pulls in the appropriate script tag.

But even then you can really feel how painful it is to work with, especially if you're adding typescript/scss to the mix. Solutions like Django Compressor are not really the right model anymore.

And there's other issues as well. If you want to share settings between Django and the JS stack for example, you'll need to build your own pipeline for that. Building a form in react? Say goodbye to DRY on the form fields. Just, in general, Django predates JS apps being anything more than in-place enhancements and it shows.
> Except that it doesn't solve the fundamental problems with OOP, because it's still essentially OOP with subtyping

I'm not sure what fundamental problems you're speaking of, but what's nice about Go viz-a-vis C++ is that classes are fundamentally open. Personally, I think it's a win. By the way, I'm a C++ dev and I love C++ too. I just think Go has really interesting ideas.
Django added Jinja2 as a built-in template backend some versions ago. The Django ecosystem hasn't really caught up to supporting it with reusable templates yet though.
New York. Used to live in Palo Alto and Toronto, and I've never seen emergency buttons in disabled washrooms in hose cities either. Perhaps it's an EU regulation?
That's so cool.

Reminds me of how different the learning experience is now. When we were at school (80s/90s), there was nowhere to turn if you didn't have the answer. My parents had an Encyclopedia Britannica set, so at least there was a paragraph to go on. It's amazing how good you became at fleshing out that paragraph into an essay :-)
Tool for Political Activism
Doesn't seem to require ongoing communication after firing. The RPi is used to monitor the sound and redirect the rocket toward the loudest thing in the immediate environment(?). A helicopter that is close enough to be firing on you is going to be making quite a racket. I am assuming that sound is used because sound sensors are cheap and these are likely to be fire and forget type weapons.
I might be biased, but any acquisition by Oracle of a good company doesn't feel good to me. They didn't ruin MySql and Virtual box so there's hope.
The problem with paywalled links for a forum that is all about discussing the linked content is simple: If most users aren't able to read the content, the discussion either can't happen or is worthless.

Workarounds help, but if they aren't available (or not working any longer), the content isn't accessible for a lot of the international HN community. So, in this case I'd personally prefer another (non-paywalled) source for the topic or just no HN entry at all if no alternative is available.
Can confirm, Sentry is awesome. It's been very easy to integrate in our web apps and the results are helpful.
>Still, most people won't pay if it's optional.

I'd say the same applies if it isn't optional. They just go somewhere else, mostly.
Not a question, I wanted to say that I am impressed with vets.gov and the pace of improvement. Thank you and your team for the work that you do! I can see it getting way better than ebenefits. Hoping it will allow vets more access to their information such as C-File and medical records without a FOIA request.
Of course they do, and that work continued while other people worked on the rebranding. Also, and more importantly, maintaining an up-to-date brand keeps Mozilla relevant and (hopefully) stops them looking like a throwback to a past era (like, say, Yahoo!). Mozilla needs to do many things to remain an important force on the web. Keeping it's brand is one aspect of that work.
Have you used any of the JetBrains IDEs?
Hopefully by now your flag carries little weight
Mark it as deprecated, change the documentation to tell the user to use the new function Y instead and the most important part: keep the old api even if it's crufty. Wait for a few years until everyone upgraded and no longer uses any deprecated functions. Maybe make a final LTS release for those who don't want to upgrade. Then and only then should you ever break backwards compatibility.

Race, color, national origin and citizenship are all protected classes which are illegal to discriminate against in the US.

Race is orthogonal to nationality and citizenship. Especially in countries of immigrants like the US and Canada.
I don't see this as substantially different from the ads that appear on google.com telling me to switch to Chrome when I have the temerity to access it from Safari.
I would love to hear people's thoughts and potentially work with people to make this a reality.
That's actually a great idea for how to dictate urls over the phone, I'm adopting it to whenever I need to dicatate a url to someone who doesn't know that URLs start with an implied "httpill" but is familiar with mozilla's logo. erm.
Our 9,000-Year Love Affair with Booze
My problem with Stronglift is that it's so boring. Nothing beats doing some isolated bicep curls. I know it's almost taboo here but that's what I recommend - feeling the blood rush into your muscles. You shouldn't stop doing squats, deadlifts etc but rather combine them with isolated exercises. I always look forward to the gym nowadays.
The thing is that although "big decimal" doesn't prevent you from rounding errors, it does help a lot because the number representation matches the mental model. Whereas, with floating point, the value is not always what is expected (0.1 is not represented as exactly 0.1 in FP).

So although I could use FP for many things, including money, my experience is that the cognitive cost of managing it is too much for many people (and no, I'm not considering myself better than the others)

> But if you want to see support, you'll need to directly pay people to maintain that support

You originally said:

> making money using a project you're not paying for

No mention of support, just "shitting on the efforts of" (IYHO), So it seems you are moving the goalposts.
> Also, Optionals are a light introduction to functors which is nice.

Optional is not a functor, in fact it violates the functor laws quite blatantly.
well FTR, IceCatMobile (downloadable via F-Droid) I doubt would have that backdoor.
Work in IT, got hired before I even finished school. Started paying in 2003. Been doubling up loan payments for about half that. When school is $35,000+ a year, you get the picture. Basically paid for a house, while paying for another house.
And it just has to be next to a picture of a Macbook. Why can't anybody "think different?"
Seconded. Even articles that pop-up directly in my Google News feed don't display the full article.
>> the management team seems to have no strong scientific background.

When your CEO founded a company after only a semester of a Chemical Engineering program, there should be red flags everywhere.
A few points:
1) The workaround works for me if I open an incognito chrome window and copy/paste the "web" link from HN. It doesn't work w/o incognito.

2) If the article gets upvotes, then enough people have subscriptions (or workarounds) to warrant a discussion. Let the votes do their job.

If you really don't want to see WSJ articles, install/make a browser extension that does it for you.
How is this even a novel concept? Oh it's Bloomberg...
You might be interested in buddybuild's beta distribution which does automatic UDID management.

It basically makes it so neither the developer nor the tester ever have to worry about UDIDs ever again. Instead you can send a build to a new tester & trust they can immediately install it.

Did NIST fudge this news story about absolute zero?
I understand completely. I replied on another comment that the Pomodoro Technique has been extremely helpful in fighting off my most recent bout of burn-out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

I like it because I don't have to think about being productive for 8 hours straight. Instead, I tell myself, "I'll be productive and focused for the next 25 minutes." Then I take a break and try another 25 minutes. At the end of the day, I've found I've been productive for four to five hours (I had to work up to this), which is very respectable. Additionally, I'm much more productive for those 25 minutes than I have been for hours before starting the technique.

As with the other comment, I'm sorry you're experiencing this. And I want to reiterate that you are not alone and not even unusual. You have an important factor going for you in that you recognize you are burnt-out, and can therefore correct the issue. I know coders who have spent years in burn-out mode and their skills have suffered as they stopped learning and stopped growing. Having this dialogue greatly improves your prospects for overcoming this.

There is an income threshold: $64,000 for 2016, which the IRS says covers ~70% of tax payers.

If you make less than that, the "Free File Alliance" let you submit a simple federal return for free using their software. They may try to upsell you on various things and may charge for a state return too.

Above that threshold, your only free options are the paper forms or the "Free Fillable Forms" online. The latter option is really simple. It will copy some numbers from place to place and does some basic math, but beyond that it is very similar to filling in the paper form--it won't help you optimize your return or anything like that.

>Tell me, where are all those comments warning us about the impending doom at Theranos and getting silenced by supporters calling them sexist?

There have been nearly 500 Theranos articles posted here over the years. You conclude it didn't happen after looking at two?

As someone who participated in the conversation, I know it happened. I'm not overly concerned with combing through the articles to convince you. The OP asked "how this happens"; if you don't think "girl power" at a time when sexism in tech was all over the place was one of the factors that led to an unqualified 20-something overseeing a potential giant fraud, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Sure, i just meant it's not what i thought was a "meaningful" increase. Ie, i'd like to at least try and offset the damage i'm doing by sitting all day. So i'm wondering if some basic movement every hour will offset that? Or do i really need to get my heart pumping? etc.
There is nothing wrong with them trying to monetize. However, we should not link to content that a majority of the users cannot read.
I understand this criticism from experienced C programmers, and yes Zed doesn't always give a strict-standard accurate account. But for a total novice, the approach of broken thing, figure out why it's broken, fix it, is very powerful. After all, this is the bulk of dev work.

Additionally, Zed pays special attention to defensive programming, an often forgotten art and good practice.
Toxic behavior 101. One dude, who I am sure most people never heard of, spouted off about some demo code written decades ago by a guy that is the quintessential successful software engineer and that everyone knows about, probably even little kids in remote villages with no electricity. Now other dudes feel necessary to conform. Riling on about Bill's purported technical ineptitude doesn't put him down, or put you up anywhere near his level - it just makes you look like a donkey. This is intellectual dwarfism. Don't do it, because it's your own little glass ceiling
(same goes for spreading the 640k rumor). It also looks lame and unprofessional, and we work in a pretty small industry, in terms of the kinds of people most of us would work around anyway.

And yeah, billg is the quintessential successful "startupper". Yes, he came from a priviledged background. Yes, he had some wonderful partners and colleagues, and yes he had the priviledge to have access
to real computers at a tender age.
All of this is really pretty typical of american enterpreneurship in a new hot market. And none of this takes away from Bill's own software engineering background and acumen. Remember: he developed and sold real products without finishing college. He started an extremely successful software company, successful in a large part because of Bill's extreme demands for technical and business excellence. He also knew when to move on to create a real difference elsewhere via the Gates Foundation, and doesn't live like the Kardashians or John McCaffee. He is a humble, very learned and hard working guy that all of us have plenty to learn from.
The New Federalist Papers: Manifesto for a Third Political Party
Competitive video games also make me better at rapid decision making under pressure, prediction, (clear) communication and teamwork.

In the same way I could say that drawing and painting only makes you better at drawing and painting.
I agree with you. Serious question: I wonder how far you take that. For example, for me, the Confederate US flag represented a favorite TV show as a kid (Dukes of Hazzard), the south (which meant cool accents and hospitality). Until 5 or so years ago I didn't know anyone still associated it with slavery. When will it be cleared for use again?

In other words, what is the bounds where a tainted symbol can or can't be used? Geopolitical border?
On many of these projects, something is very very wrong. That's why USDS/18F are there. If everything is going peachy, we could be spending our time better, elsewhere.

I agree that being in a room full of chatting people is annoying; that's just a poor work environment full stop.

In my opinion, communication between a few like-minded people around a whiteboard, large screen or projector is an easier process than orchestrating it in a chat tool or conference tool. Don't get me wrong, both work well and are better than nothing, but it's just 'easier' to do it 'IRL'
It has been working sporadically for me; sometimes it works, but then strangely other times regardless of using incognito mode or not, the Google search result still lands on the same paywall.

A couple of things I wonder: A) maybe is a rolling change, and not yet complete; or B) perhaps the goal is to disrupt it enough to make it not reliable, yet functional enough for plausible deniability.

The end result though, is that I read less of the WSJ. I'm sympathetic to the need for paying subscribers, but I've already subb'ed to the NYT, so if I run into unavoidable paywalls at other sources, the end result is that I'll read less of those sources.
If you start an incognito window with a Google News search for the headline and can't access it, use the "Send Feedback" link at the bottom of the search page to let Google know.
Almost everything critical that's still holding out has a good reason for it. For example Twisted is being ported... slowly.

learc83 used the term "the government" in his post. I would not say that every US government employee is personally responsible for the current surveillance state. But when someone suggest "the government" is about to cross the line, it reeks of bullshit.

"The government" (our government in my case) has crossed the line so many times on so many different issues. The citizens never did anything. If the federal government built camps and starting rounding up Muslims or any group, we would do nothing tangible. There would be all sorts of racket made about it, but nothing would come of it. Any suggestion otherwise is just an attempt to bait some sort of discussion that Donald Trump is either the second coming of Adolf Hitler or the herald of the apocalypse. I don't like the man in any way. But where we all these people when Barack Obama decided he had the authority to execute US citizens?

Trades? I'm a self-taught programmer who started getting paid at "market rate" for mid-level dev a year before my colleagues graduated. For me coding is pretty much a "trade" and boot camps are like "mass apprenticeships".

I'd imagine other trades have similar avenues of employment as well. Maybe if we stop trying to convince people that a 4 year college is the only prestigious career path (even 2 years of community college + 2 years of a 4 year gets a stink eye sometimes!) they'll stop trying to force themselves into inescapable debt.
The WSJ "workaround" has never consistently worked for me.

It works sometimes, but other times it won't work even with a Google Search referrer in an incognito tab.
I would say that depends entirely on the game itself. I agree that a lot of games are guilty of serving lots of cheap dopamine fixes. In fact, that is the business model of a large portion of the mobile gaming industry.

As an avid gamer, I find this sad and I do my best to stay clear of those games.

One of my favourite games is the antithesis of this, at least the way I play it. Namely Hitman: Blood Money, where I spent countless hours trying to complete every mission without hurting anyone other than the targets and without ever being detected. Without checkpoints, of course. That requires a lot of patience and leads to hours of tension and suspense culminating in a few intense bursts of excitement and satisfaction.
I'd be curious to hear opinions on the value in this context of automatic linting as performed by flycheck, et al. I've heard the argument made that it serves as a crutch which prevents junior devs from learning to "just see syntax errors", but that sounds to me like the same kind of argument about electronic calculators that older folks made when I was young, and I can't say I've ever seen much sense in that one, either. But perhaps my perspective is simply lacking.
These endowments and donations might be covering the capitol costs of all this building, but are they also funding operational and maintenance costs?

Depends on the industry and location and what you consider freelance/contractor. There a bunch of contractor jobs in Chicago but they are in fact W2 (full time employees) you just work for the firm doing the contracting.

When I noticed my nice guitar and really good equipment was going unused so I could spend more time in Half-Life / Adrenaline Gamer / CS, which at the end of the day produced nothing really of worth I could trade in real life (a few online friendships evolved I know), it was time to hang up the serious gaming.

No more desktop. Barely any console time. I'm perfectly happy with older Angry Birds games and trying to get 3 stars without any gimmicks. That's my fix...well, okay I'll probably get some Forza VW Herbie action in, but the time I don't spend on games is, I like to think, used productively elsewhere (chores, cooking, etc).
