I live in Michigan which has term limits for legislators. I don't think they have done any good for the state. They tend to hand more power to the executive and parties, neither of which is a particularly good thing.

I do think that there should be term limits for high executive positions though. They are different than legislative positions, as they involve a good deal more individual power.
Most of my side project are spread on many months (years sometime). I try to ship something valuable and meaningful, but the main idea remains to practice, learn and get my hands dirty.

Small demos, most of time time, keep you on the main, easy, default road while a bigger project let you see a lots of side scenarios which are more representative of what you will hit in job.

However, I would recommend, from my experience to always scope down features since at some point you may fell in the trap of adding feature and not learning the technologies, hence moving away of the primary goal. I am wrapping a 30 months project and will definitely not do any project that would take that long. I aim project between 4 to 12 months for the future (at about 40 hours per month).
Even just looking at the github repos would've revealed what he did.

If there's one thing I know, it's that most devs have a distinct style when they code. This is especially true with JS. I'm sure taking a cursory look at "Bryan's" code would have revealed it probably wasn't something he wrote himself since the copy/paste mode would reveal totally different coding styles.
>Like a localized reddit for policies and issues on local, state, and federal levels. If you add in some ML and AI, you could come up with truly direct democracy, that is 100% open and transparent.

This makes literally no sense. The US can't be a direct democracy just by throwing Silicon Valley buzz words at it. You need to change the very fundamental laws that set up the legislative systems.

You can use all this fancy 'tech' and make it seem like you are the bleed-edge innovator of the future of politics...Or you can do sane things that normal people will understand like ballot initiatives or more transparency in Congress.
I think it will depend on the type of RSI. Both me and a coworker once had horrible RSI. One of the problems (amongst many) that we complained about was that writing with a pen became quite painful.

I mean, RSI can be really bad. It affects your quality of life outside of the computer world. Pressing the button on my remote was painful. Pressing the button to change the frequency on my car radio was painful. Essentially, any delicate work was painful.

Google may not feel like it needs to pay itself for ad space there, being the top result. Though according to a WSJ article last week, Google products come up as the top ad result in 91% of searches involving product types Google or it's subsidiaries makes: http://www.wsj.com/articles/google-uses-its-search-engine-to...

Presumably though, since it's paying itself, Google can afford to outbid anyone on any ad term on their network.

It's actually a little surprising they allow ads on the term at all, actually. For instance, while "Windows support" results are filled with malicious ads at the top, Google has no ads whatsoever for search terms like "Chromebook support". Google actively disables advertising on terms that help their business, and Google does not seem to discourage malware sites on terms that predominantly affect Windows users, for instance.
The difference between a demo or prototype and an actual SaaS with paying users is significant. The former can land you a technical job if it's well done. The latter will getyou a C-level job for an upstart if it's well executed (read: shows important growth). But you haven't explained what kind of job you're applying for.
Each team and project will require a subset of the services offered (language, libraries, runtime, etc). One does not need to use the whole language to be productive in the whole language.

People claim that they are quickly productive in Golang, one can also be productive in Rust in a similar amount of time. Satisfy the borrow checker with .clone and .copy. The end result will be the same. Using something doesn't mean that you are required to explore the full depth and breadth of it.

I really want to use it as I much prefer Linux as a hosting platform over Windows, but I really enjoy C# and F#. When I last looked, however, the tooling just wasn't there. I found documentation still referencing the outdated dnx command as opposed to dotnet, and building something as simple as a console application required quite a bit of boilerplate project.json. I haven't looked at it since, but I hope the move back to csproj will simplify things a bit. I'd really like to see the dev experience ironed out a bit more as it's quite an exciting project.

Politics wasn't "almost forbidden". We did an experiment for a few days just to see what would happen. (One thing that happened, btw, is that many people didn't hear the 'experiment' part and jumped straight to 'politics are banned from HN forever', which was never the case.)

The policy then reverted, as planned, to the way it's always been: most politics are off topic, but not all (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). If there's an intellectually interesting aspect to the story, it's more likely to be ok, while garden-variety politics definitely aren't.

It could still be the same republic we have now, but with an extremely accessible and simple system for looking up who is running for what position when and a short bio about them.

We should be doing more work that allows as many people as possible to become well-informed with as little friction as possible.
And we would much rather be able to do all of our comparison shopping from the comfort of our homes, like civilized 21st-century humans, which is why dealerships are so hated.

Except that if you had paid attention you'd see that position was recanted.

I'm on the other side of the fence when it comes to writing style, especially in published research papers in the hard sciences. I can count the number written in this style on one hand.

When there is passion in someone's writing voice, it infects me. One of the reasons I didn't pursue a scientific career is that I write in a somewhat whimsical style and would feel my soul being crushed if my career was spent churning out papers devoid of any passion or love for the field
You seem to be forgetting the entire vision pipeline that automatically extracts "lanes" and that information gets incorporated in an end to end manner requiring only true steering angles and nothing else. Its easy to comment but its not as straightforward or trivial as one might assume.
"Drive around to a few dealers"? It would take me a week to drive around to all the dealers in 5 different states. Do you really have that much spare time?

A much better strategy is to figure out which car you want, then go online and contact all the dealerships within an 8-hour drive asking them for their best price on it.
Finished ones.

This sounds trite, but honestly, finishing things is hard. If you can show off a couple of finished side projects, that reflects much better than a half-dozen abandoned halfway through.
Here's a piece of advice from actual experience (from both sides):

Invest your time studying for interviews than wasting time building side projects if you're doing this purely for getting a job, period.

In my experience, companies don't care about your little side project when hiring--that is, unless your "little side project" had some huge impact or is something they have been aware of--the best you could get is "huh that's cool", and that's it, unless you created something really unique.

This whole process of job interview is broken because it's extremely easy to study for them and give the right answers if you invest a couple of weeks to a few months. But since we're talking about getting a job, I think you should take full advantage of this. If I were you, I would be doing this instead of doing side projects for the sake of getting a job.

Also, "side projects" should be something that you build because you think they're cool, not because you want to get a job. That's another reason why I say study for the interview instead of bothering to do side projects if the purpose is to get a job. It's neither meaningful for the employer nor for yourself.

If you still really want to do a side project, just pick a problem you want to solve, and apply some new technology you want to learn to build it. That's the best side project for yourself and the potential employer.
>cutting down on corruption, and cutting back lobbying

Oh yea, like how Trump drained the swamp and staffed his administration with all these outsiders with fresh new ideas...oh wait, it's literally the RNC. And his Sec of State choice is the CEO of ExxonMobil and one of the campaign promises is literally to invest more in shale oil / natural gas / etc.

Give me a break. There is nothing worth celebrating in this kleptocracy and this wishy-washy "Oh let's focus on the good stuff!" only distracts from the facts.
I use a SP3 for note taking and diagram drawing and I like it, feels different than paper for sure but I enjoy it more than I thought I would.
"This seems like a massive conflict of interest."

It is. It's huge.

The problem is ... his portfolio is not 'stocks and bonds' that he can easily liquidate, or put in a blind trust.

He has tons of huge properties - to put them up on the chopping block would mean a huge fire sale - and totally unfair.

I also saw a lawyer indicate that the buyers of such properties - because they'd be getting a bargain - could be perceived as getting massive 'favour' from the sitting president - and that in and of itself would be a major conflict of interest.

So in his defence - it's complicated.

That said - there should be a way of putting up a much bigger firewall between him and Trump Co.

As it stands, it's already bad ... foreign delegations - without pressuring - may feel incented to use 'Trump Hotels' etc. etc..

I think it's going to be a drag on him, because there'll be tons of people invariably using Trump-owned facilities - and every time it happens - it will be in the press, and it will look bad irrespective of if there was any wrongdoing.

It's a mess, I don't see any clean way out of it.
America First, Not, America Only. What President Donald Trump Is Really Saying
The kind that you are/were passionate about and can speak knowingly about the techs you used in the project.

In rare cases, your side project is addressing one of the businesses needs directly, giving you domain knowledge. More likely is that it does not. At this point, the value-add of that project is that is improves your understanding of the techs you used. Can you talk about the pros and cons of using Go/React/Angular 2/techBuzzwordDuJour? That speaks to your passion and creativity, and stands to improves the knowledgeable of the team that hires you.

tl;dr: Do something fun that you enjoy. The rest takes care of itself.

Daily actions without goals give no context for understanding progress.

The problem with goals however is that people assume the goal is the final output. Really though, a goal is like a destination that starts your journey in a particular direction. Goals are beginnings. The significant output is what your learn from your journey.

Few questions:

Status of this project. Can I use it for production?

What are the differences from other starter kits like Este, which also could be used for building react-native and react apps.
I've done the same and found it is way less distracting. This means I get through more articles in a shorter period of time and with greater concentration. It also reduces the impulse to share on social media (and the associated brain power to come up with some witty comment about it).
cpp(1) is not where the paradigm stems from, the same paradigm was there before and was there even before C itself. The whole idea of preprocessor stems from assembly programming and the idea that having one file with lines like "PORTB .equ 0x17" and reusing it is useful, in the same spirit the way how ld(1) works was/is useful for assembly programming (you can jump arbitrarily between notionally different functions, and in fact GCC is perfectly capable of generating object files that do that from C/C++ code). On the other hand, cpp(1) is useful for more things than just C/C++, there are even programs which read their configuration by means of popen("cpp /etc/foo").

And as for supporting ld(1) and unix toolchain in general, see my remark above about how FPC works, IIRC MSVC compiller does something similar for C++, albeit in more limited manner (stdaux.h and such stuff).

My pleasure, and you are right about to Anglo-Japanese alliance. As a matter of fact I have heard it said the formerly German controlled southeast Asian islands were given to Japan at the behest of Britain as a sort of WW2 preprogramming, but thankfully MacArthur saw through it. I also think it was Warren Harding who pushed for the 5-5-3 American British Japanese fleet ratio in some agreement or other that delayed WW2.

> A requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations be dropped.

> Under Chief of Staff Reince Priebus issued a memorandum (pg. 1, pg. 2) asking federal agency heads to postpone or freeze any new or pending regulations, with some exceptions noted in Sec. 3 of the memo.

From the memo:

"""
Notify the OMB Director promptly of any regulations that, in your view, should be excluded from the directives ... because those regulations affect critical health, safety, financial, or national security matters ... The OMB Director will review any such notifications and determine whether such conclusion is appropriate under the circumstances.
"""

I agree that non-elected policymakers have too much power to enact regulations with criminal penalties under force of law, but I feel that this measure will just lead to more policies being labeled "health" or "national security" etc., and not amount to any real reduction in regulation.
Because it's just another down-side of an already bad idea that has an easy solution.

I was at a dinner once, where the couple sitting next to me was from Sacramento. The woman (a nice, elderly lady of around 60) worked for a lobbyist in Sacramento as his secretary/"typist". She described how the committee (of representatives) kept changing while her boss stayed the same; as a result, one of the first things an incoming committee chair did was to ask her boss to help him out with the maze of rules and regulations. Oh, and often the committee chair would have her come over for meetings to take notes (as apparently they didn't have any position in the budget), which she dutifully shared with her boss.

I used to be pro term limits, but my conversation with her was very eye opening.

Overwhelmingly not from cities?

Sorry to nitpick, but I want to emphasize that we did this as part of an explicitly temporary experiment, to see what we would learn. It's true that we ended it early, but that was because we learned everything we needed in the first couple days. A week turned out to be too long for this kind of thing, especially because there are downsides to doing it (that was one of the things we learned!)

It was both widely criticized and widely supported. The data suggested more HN readers liked it than disliked it.

I've actually had the opposite experience. I've built roughly a half dozen cross platforms mobile apps with React Native now and it has been a really fantastic experience. For the most part, most of the native modules I have consumed from the community have been high quality and are maintained sufficiently (merging PRs, responding to issues within a day or two). Conveniently the surface area of native modules is small, so it becomes trivial to fix or extend them should you run into issues. Building cross platform UI is trivial- between fixed and flex layouts with absolute and relative positioning there hasn't been anything yet I could not build. Apps ranged from brochure-style marketing "apps" with forms and wizards to a application that had augmented reality features using only React Native and without having to create a native module myself (although I have contributed to quite a few now). Recently I have been using `react-native-web` as this repository shows for mobile applications that don't have native module requirements to build cross platform native mobile and web applications that are responsive to all devices (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, 4k). It's become so easy to do this that I'd probably hesitate to write a standard web application again (given the requirements aligned); doubly so if there was even a remote possibility that the client would want a native mobile version eventually.

EDIT: If you're interested in React Native but don't necessarily want to go through the (very short) motions of getting set up with a local environment, give the web player[1] a shot or take a moment to play with the interactive documentation[2].
