> 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?

Not really. I maintain a list of my completed projects and work history, and
I simply choose what is relevant and important for the job I apply from that
list, so adjusting a curriculum vitae takes little time. As for cover letters,
I've only seen them in requirements in unskilled job ads, and this was long
ago.

> 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.

Chatbot won't understand what I'm talking about (general AI is still a pipe
dream), so I doubt it would ask targeted questions. And it would be very
tiring for me to explain to a brick wall (i.e. software, unless your chatbot
passes the Turing test) why I am proud of this or that project.

OK, I take my previous remark back. I obviously was projecting the situation
in Europe and US to the whole world. China or India have different setting,
from what I can infer.

I didn't assert they were functors. Just that seeing `map` on something that isn't a list should be somewhat eye-opening to someone who just casually uses it and isn't too familiar with functional programming, that was the point.

Also, when I wrote "functor" I was thinking of https://wiki.haskell.org/Functor, is that what you're thinking of? In that case, which of the rules does it break? if not, what definition of functor were you thinking of?

Optional.of(whatever).map(identityfunction) will definitely give you back an Optional<Whatever>... Am I missing something fundamental? Also Optional.of(whatever).map(f).map(y) is equivalent in return to Optional.of(whatever).map(f . y)... (of course that's not the java syntax for composing functions but I digress)

Hi! This is Evy (I wrote the post)

I know this doesn't answer your question, but at Socratic we use an API that we pay the creator of http://mathpix.com/ for. It would definitely be super cool to see an open source library for this :)
> There have been nearly 500 Theranos articles posted here over the years. You conclude it didn't happen after looking at two?

I looked at the two I could find with comments from before the whole thing blew up. The vast majority of posts about Theranos are post-blowout, from the past year and half, not those early discussions you were referring to.

> 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.

I find your restatement of the previous claims inaccurate. You said "It was difficult to be critical, and supporters implied that the naysayers were merely "sexist"", which is much more specific that her gender having been a factor in story. Yes, it might have. Not in the way you portrayed it, though, in my opinion, at least not in HN.
USDS was modeled after a similar initiative in the UK (the Government Digital Service). Maybe Germany could be next? Or maybe an EU-wide digital service?
> "I noticed it doesn't know about phones that have USB-C chargers."

Allthough I find the base concept of the side promising (not only for older relatives), it would be much more helpful if you add more connection types. Some examples:

- "Computer --> TV" only knows HDMI and VGA (E.g. what about [mini] Display Port?)
- "Computer --> Printer" only knows USB A to USB B

I would start with the most common possibility and go down to the more exotic ones, to not clutter the expirience for most people. Then you could even add more special connections where you need adapters for.
So I disagree with this. One of the things I loved about RethinkDB was the fact that it did away with SQL. The problem with SQL (in high transaction applications anyway), is that performance isn't necessarily reproducible, or determinable from the query. You are at the mercy of how the query optimizer decided fetch your data. The more complicated your query, the less you can can out reproducible performance.

With RQL you could very clearly determine how rethinkdb was fetching your data, and you knew it was going to get your data in the same way every time the query ran.

You're confused. My only point was that checked exceptions are only good when they're used. Better luck next time.
I think people put to much emphasis on the program to follow. The real secret to progression in the gym is dedication. The guy who shows up 4 times a week for a year doing his own made up program is going to look better than the guy doing the latest program they are recommending online for 2 months then giving up.There isn't any perfect system or quick answers so I find its best to just do exercises you enjoy and set yourself little mini goals and work towards them.
TL;DR - If you ask me to work in your office, you are an idiot. Give me a break. Somehow this kind of condescending, flippant, and blanket stance always comes loudest and most frequently from people who just want to work from home themselves. Almost everyone else seems to understand there is some nuance to the issue.

(At my company we work remotely 95% of the time so I'm not in the opposite camp either, just saying it isn't black and white and this guy's tone is super rude)

On the last point--I think trying to do this is one of the big reasons Parse failed. Auto optimizing DBs is an incredibly complex and delicate task.

My Parse app's write performance suffered because my biggest table (27m rows, 10 small columns, 15GB) ended up with 17 auto-created indexes, taking up an additional 15GB of space.

Windows Beta Testers aka Insiders
Russia in the 90s, right after the collapse of the Soviet Union, was arguably as dangerous and poor as some African countries. My family was never rich, and I left home early, changing careers, places of residence and learning relentlessly.

You are right about the safety net. For me, it was the fact that I always can get back to a relatively boring and stable job of Java (or whatever) software engineer, if things went wrong. And I often had to. But the key point is that you do not need 4 years of education to become a Java software engineer. In 2017, it is way easier than in 2001, thanks to GitHub (the fact of Java being still around is the incredible stroke of luck, of course — but I had to change the horse midway, as I had started with Perl, and Perl is much deader these days).
I often feel that crimes "committed by teenagers" are a distraction from the real criminals.

Let's look at drugs, for instance: a lot of teenagers are used as street dealers and runners, because they're new to an organization, easily replaceable, and shield key people from liability.

As a youngster online, I found a lot of tools that contained backdoors or takeover methods, and my suspicion always was that older, professional hackers were dangling toys out there so we'd do a lot of their dirty work setting up botnets and providing cover noise so they could hide behind our actions in a similar manner.

While I strongly agree about the necessity of physical play, I disagree that games in general lack the things you are listing.

3 dimensional space: There are plenty of puzzle games focused on challenging the player to understand how 3D spaces (or higher) are connected.

Emotional play: This is one of the main focuses of many RPG:s as well as interactive fiction.

Visual imagination: Many games have this at least as a component. I'd say any city building games, The Sims, Conway's Game of Life.
Ads appeared for me after a month of usage. I assume there's some A/B stuff, and usage indicators used to determine when this should happen.

If you disable Cortana, a feat in itself, the file system search functions die.

Your last point is not really upheld. Greater flexibility existed in previous versions of Windows. Though different solutions to the inbuilts existed, they weren't popular. However, dictating which browser, through inconvenience, is harmful to the web. IE6 stands to that memory.

Forcing telemetry down users throats, so you can better predict them, is spying. It won't result in products for user needs, it'll result in making users think they need less.
Yeah that's a fairly standard "integrated" toilet (where the flushing system is hidden into the wall), it's really quite different than the experience you get in japan.

What surprised me the most, the difference between being in orbit and starting to reenter is only 362 km/h but it takes a three minute burn to decelerate which I guess is a 0.5mv² thing with big m and huge v.

EDIT: My intuition was wrong, this has nothing to do with a large kinetic energy due to a large velocity.
Back in the day, Google didn't reference links that showed a different page to the bot from what it does to users. the WSJ presence in their search has substantially reduced the utility of Google's results. I do not understand why they allow it.

They generally also break encapsulation (though you can kind of work around/sidestep this by making top-level visible errors more opaque)

Do you have a good reason you'd like to share for liking checked expressions? It seems like the reason you like it is because it's enforced by the compiler -- but I don't think this makes them the right choice, as the compiler could easily also enforce exhaustive handling of an Optional (or sum types like other languages).

If we limit ourselves to the case of Java 1.8, it is a fact that optionals are not checked by the compiler, so there is a solid benefit of using checked exceptions, solely that there is a compile time check of whether the exception was accounted for.
Exactly. PyPi numbers are totally meaningless. It's commonly used for installing applications (that's how packages like supervisor end up in the top 20) and used in all sorts of CI scenarios.

Every OpenStack build, for example, pulls in hundreds of packages from PyPi.

In terms of real-world use, all of the Python devs I personally know moved to Python 3.

> Of course you can lose fat by lifting weights. Calories in < calories out = weight loss (hopefully fat).

But the problem is that you can't lift weights without consuming sufficient calories (in a sustainable way).
I don't think we need more studies to draw some useful conclusions, and sadly those conclusions do not bode well for the sedentary lifestyle. We know a lot about how human bodies evolved, both during our time as a species and our precursor species. We can also observe hunter-gatherer groups still active today, which is far more indicative of what kind of activity level we are programmed to get. One recent study I read showed that a modern hunter-gatherer group got a little over 2h of moderate to intense physical activity per day, and this produced a negligible risk of any kind of cardiovascular disease while producing a similar lifespan similar to our own. Humans evolved in an environment of this level of physical activity and we require that to retain our physical capacity and stave off disease.

Brahmachary is often translated as chastity, but an alternate translation widely accepted in other spiritual traditions, like Bhakti, is fidelity within a committed relationship and conservation of sexual energy. So that might mean not masturbating every day, but conserving that sexual energy to bond with your partner (sexually or otherwise).
Which comments are you interpreting as demands?

>> A lack of being paid (money at least) doesn't imply no obligations, nor freedom from criticism.

> Excellent, then you should be fine with me criticizing the attitude that's been displayed here.

Great. Do you actually have a response to this point in context, then?

> This is the same as the IE6 situation: Want support for it? Pay extra for it!

You did not argue this. You said "shit on", which doesn't translate to "demanding support". you are deflecting from the one thing I actually criticised.

Your strawman is "support is being demanded" - this isn't the case. Any further arguments on that topic are just beating the strawman.

Furthermore, oficially changing the direction of Django also may affect contributions, changes to the roadmap or architectural design for example.

I believe that you can seal an interface by making it and its method(s) private, but that doesn't do us much good because we're talking about using this to build something that looks like an enum (complete with compiler warnings when we fail to address a branch in a type switch). If you only intend to use your "enum" in the package, then the interface isn't sealed in the scope you want to use it. If you want to use the enum outside of your package, then you can't use the private interface at all.

So you can create a "sealed interface" only in the sense that you can't use it at all outside of its defining package, and it won't be sealed inside of its defining package. I can't see a way to build an enum from this in the way the OP described.
I don't think its weird, I think its what has become normal. People operate on speculation and fear more then facts.
I'm positing false equivalence. Taking away the home mortgage interest deduction would make the homeowner and renter unequal. Doing so would not drive up rents, just as eliminating the mortgage deduction on investment property wouldn't impact house prices.

I would love to see Swift become a reasonable alternative for server-side development and, in general, non-Apple development.

I have my misgivings with the iOS/macOS development stack (chief among them being Xcode), but Swift is probably the language I enjoy writing in most. It's powerful and expressive and pleasant.

I'm happy to know that even with Chris leaving, the pieces are set in motion for the language's expansion to other contexts.
In some ways, yes.

For me, the google api client libraries, and AWS Lambda. That last one isn't totally Django related, but we use it for certain service calls, and it'd be nicer to be able to maintain one version of the language across the django app and related services.

We ended writing a service in PHP to use Google's APIs, and are mostly using Scala or JS instead of Python for the Lambda services because this project is basically a ton of unicode mangling, and you can pry Python 3's sane unicode support from my cold dead hands! But the libraries still aren't totally perfect. It just takes on dependency being out of date to screw your plans.

- Chris was being forced into a more VP/management role
- etc...
