I like the aggressiveness too but it's pretty common for very young languages because the cost is so low. Swift is not doing anything new there.

"The issue is that the company may never get that much funding"

Which means that you MAY be out of a job, and you didnt apply elsewhere. You have savings? It sounds like they know that you MAY be out of a job, and are asking you to not have other options. You MAY not like that.

Something like 9/10 startups fail...

I'm optimistic that it will get better as more developers buy newer laptops with QHD+ resolutions. ElementaryOS even had a pledge fund to get the founder a 3200x1800 res laptop just so he could actually dogfood his OS on a hi-res laptop and improve HiDPI support. Unless, of course, the average Linux developer remains a graybeard with a Thinkpad. Then we might be waiting for awhile. :)

The other major hump to get over at the moment is that many of the distros are spending resources to switch to Wayland, and I imagine we'll need to let that transition stabilize first before we get the bulk of resources diverted to HiDPI support.
Thoughts are mainly about work and problems that I need to solve. When I am trying to sleep, I will sometimes work on a problem in my head because it's "bothering me", and this can postpone my sleep by up to an hour.

This happened to me a lot in college on homework sets. Some sets would take hours to complete, and if I could not solve a problem before sleeping, I would "give up" and go to sleep, only to continue thinking about the problem.

The best way to describe what is happening is: I'll be trying to sleep, and I will think about the problem statement. Sometimes I will find a new perspective, and follow that. If it doesn't lead anywhere, I will go back to the problem statement, and the process repeats. Sometimes I'll just repeat the problem statement in my head hundreds of times over the course of an hour, hoping I'll find a different path to the solution.

It's tempting to keep thinking and not sleep. In my experience, this is an affliction more than it is an asset. This is why I am interested in L Theanine.

I'd argue the opposite - high pay gives us the freedom to save up enough to take a lesser paying job with little detriment, because we can depend on our cushy savings. That is, if you live well below your means.

Maybe I have a kind of stilted perspective because I came to programming from a job where I was making 40k, and other than the increase in rent by 400$/mo moving to the Bay Area, my cost of living / cost of comfort hasn't gone up. To me, it just feels like I have a much larger cushion, with lots more opportunity.

Reviews are for the customers, yes. But if a customer has a problem, leaving a bad review does not help that customer. And if it's a problem that can be easily fixed, it doesn't help other customers either. Directing people with problems to internal support is unambiguously a good thing. If that customer's issue can be resolved, that's the best solution all around. And if it can't be resolved, well, the user can still go leave a bad review if they want to.

The problem I've always had: what I want from a bikeshare is to be able to exit the train station, grab a bike, bike the remaining kilometer or two to work and drop the bike. Later in the day I want to do the same in reverse.

That only works in a hub program if there's a dock next to my office building. (You can count on a dock being next to the train station.) Or I could pay for all-day rental of the bike, when I'm only using it for two ten-minute periods.

In a dockless system, does it actually get any better for my use case?

Wow. This all starts with me asking for a reference to support a comment by 'aplomb (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13488853):

Glock was out of the running because lack of a "real" safety and their unwillingness to add one

Sure, there's some albeit circumstantial support for this claim. But so far, that's what it is, and definitely not conclusive.

(As an aside, general arguments comparing the safety of firearms with and without external safeties are all over the internet and not something I'm interested in re-litigating here. I'm interested in knowing whether this played a role in the Army's decision.)

The references you provide here don't do much to further this circumstantial support. [1] is explicitly an argument for better holsters, not safeties. It's not clear that a similar issue would arise in the military. I'm not aware of how frequently the Army uses concealed carry holsters, and poorly designed ones at that.

[2] doesn't break down what weapons were involved with the negligent discharges. Of the two that were described, one was a 9mm pistol, the other an M16 which was on safe. There's a possibility that the pistol was a Glock (or other pistol with no manual safety). The article is from 2004, and the Marine who was killed was part of 3rd Battalion, 6th Regiment, which later became part of Marine Special Operations Command (if I'm reading Wikipedia correctly), which approved the Glock 19 for use only in Marsoc in 2016. It's more likely that it was a Berreta M9, which features a manual safety, given that this is has been the standard issue 9mm pistol for the Marines. Neither of these examples show that safeties prevent negligent discharges.

Don't get me wrong. I'm fine with legitimate discussion about why the Army chose Sig over Glock. I'm by no means arguing that the decision was wrong. I think it's interesting to learn about what criteria come into play and how these decisions are made.
"do you really think you could make a more effective move given five hours?"

I play on chess.com from time to time and I perform much better in games where I have a few days to make a move vs games that are played live with a timer.

> If fear of guns is irrational then why do licence-holders need them?

Often for non-gun related threats. And also because they're probably in riskier demographics.

Or maybe because they just enjoy shooting.

> Just because heart disease is the most common cause of death doesn't mean concern about anything else is irrational.

Worry is zero-sum. The time you spend worrying about being shot is time you aren't spending worrying about your trans-fat intake, or simply enjoying life.

> I think being afraid of something that can kill you is absolutely rational.

Afraid of, or worried about in general? If a bad guy is swinging a gun around, yes you're right to be afraid. There's a direct action that will make you safer - leaving - and you should take that if possible.

But in general to worry about a bad guy with a gun is stealing attention from real problems with actual solutions.
Seriously. In this day in age, is email really the big threat? Email feels like bliss to me, compared to the constant bombardment of information via different instant messaging channels. Riot, Signal, Telegram, Wire and WhatsApp ― yes, they're all installed on my phone and they are constantly polling for my attention by blinking that notification led on my Android phone. Yuk.

I think they did, but there's not enough information available to reliably distinguish 'normal' reloads from 'force-reloads', unless they ran onKeyDown javascript and correlated the events after the fact.

A comment from Facebook [1] on the Chrome bug says they started logging 'window.performance.navigation.type', which distinguishes between [2] normal navigation, reload, history traversal (back/forward), and undefined.

Not exactly. Being hyper-focused on one thing is actually symptomatic of ADHD, and amphetamines like Adderall and Ritalin may exacerbate or mitigate this tendency (as I understand it mainly from personal experience, but also some literature), depending on the individual and external factors.

So, this is an idea I had a while back, inspired by how ideas like [illegal primes][] are fundamentally irrepressible as free speech, due to the intrinsically fluid nature of abstract data.

It's not just useful on a free-speech axis, though: in terms of just bare usability, it opens the door for a simple way to represent arbitrary numbers (like IP addresses) mnemonically, without having to lug around huge arbitrary dictionaries that might have proprietary restrictions to them, like the one what3words uses to encode geo coordinates.

I'm interested in hearing what uses Hacker News readers could come up with for this, and other thoughts around these kinds of concepts.

They have a home warranty that's good til next year, but I doubt it covers incompetence, and I don't think they could survive another move financially or physically.

It covers shit like garage door openers (which was installed backwards, as we found out after moving in) but we'd have to pay a service fee we can't afford just yet.

The guy they sent out to help with our plumbing emergency doesn't give me high hopes in who they'll send to fix the garage door.

The guy who built this place stripped it to the frame and rebuilt it with a team of the lowest bidding crackhead contractors, from what I can tell.
No, extreme inequality is inherently a bad thing, assuming there is no reasonable safety net provided primarily by the rich (a fairly good assumption if you're talking about the US). It always leads to unrest. Wealth is power and power is wealth in capitalism; the wealthy exert their influence to increase their wealth and inequality, once established, always increases. It is never stable.

Having a huge class of people begging and sleeping in the streets and another small class of people with extreme wealth is just begging for violence to occur. Then you get enormous private security firms, walled private communities with hired cops to keep the riff raff out and prevent theft/kidnapping for ransom.

What happens when the unwashed masses decide to vote to take some of the wealth society has generated back? Or, more's to the point, what happens once they do this and realize their vote doesn't matter because the political power structure is rigged to only cater to the interests of the wealthy by, e.g., doing nothing but banning physical force, the kind of force that's exclusive to the poor?

Mobility is a ridiculous red herring; who cares if a poor person here or there wins some sort of lottery and ascends to the elite class of super-rulers every so often, or an elite drops into brutal poverty and abuse? The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Government regulations providing a safety net for the poorest and helping to protect the weak from the powerful is the only thing that makes inequality tenable for any amount of time. Minimum wage and taxes which go to pay for healthcare and infrastructure are the only thing keeping society civilized and livable for the poor. Without it, well, we'd see that violence is a very cheap solution that people turn to if they think they have very little to lose, or if they are hungry.

And profits do not represent value at all, profit is simply the difference between how much something is worth and how much you can force/trick someone else into paying for it.
