So? You are willing to make it worse now because we did something bad in the past? That's an insane position.

You'll note this isn't a trade we aren't quitting the bombing by banning travelers.
Actually, I might get the wrong picture but from FOSDEM talks and high integrity conferences programms, I get the opposite view.
IntelliJ's debugger has decent support for working with functional code. Also the IDE can convert between map/filter/fold type functional pipelines and imperative loops automatically.
Does it affect drinks containing sugar exclusively, or does this also affect sugar-free soft drinks?
> The totally useless expense of wedging a long, narrow Apple Watch into every keyboard is driving Apple's prices way, way up.

Not only that. Also Apple's anorexia, making a useless gigantic trackpad, providing a DCI-P3 screen which is useless for most people, etc.
Many Democrats don't support drone strikes; drone strikes are also supported by Republican congressmen; the drone strikes are used to kill enemy combatants that have planned and continue to plan bombings to kill U.S. noncombatants.

It's pretty disingenuous to claim that enemy combatants dodge a drone strike and then are subsequently approved for an entry visa.

I could make the insult, "Your side imagines all brown people are terrorists, racist!" But that's not how you feel.

What you are saying is a commonly misheld belief (although it used to be true). Microsoft and Docker have working techonlogy available right now to allow you to use "Native Windows" Docker containers. https://blog.docker.com/2016/09/build-your-first-docker-wind... It is only a matter of time before this is available in areas other than just servers.
The original Libertarians were left wing anti-government anarchists. The word was appropriated by the far right in the US, and The ones today are Ayn Rand fanatics- the likes of Paul Ryan, who are anti-labour and pro-business. Reducing the power of the government - an institution in which people have some kind of say in - while allowing corporations to flourish - institutions where citizens have absolutely no say in - leads to oligarchy.

There are interesting approaches to reducing government size from left-liberterains(Libertarian socialist and Anarchists) but they are not mainstream in the US, which has shifted so far right over the last few decades that Eisenhower would in many policy matters be considered a far-left unelectable today.
It seems to me remote jobs are mostly suited for positions that can be easily replaced so web development fits wonderfully.

For anything low level where the company needs you specifically to keep the project going I doubt there are widespread remote opportunities.

Since this seems to be a throwaway account could you maybe disclose how much money you get after tax and how much you pay in rent? I'm curious because I'm from Europe and at a crossroads. I started doing mostly C++ but now considering switching to web because of the remote opportunities.

It would be nice to know what to expect from a carrier in low level stuff even though the salaries sound very good (150-200k) it's more important to know what one can realistically save in a year with that salary.
Apparently not. If they care about it, they'll research it. Do you not think they should study how droughts relate to civil unrest?

That's like saying Patrick Henry invented liberty.
You are making an argument based on taking this to an extreme. But take it to the other extreme: is it governmental overreach that heroin is banned or is it a good public health policy?

The merits of this new French law can be argued, but it is not an obvious overreach.
Growing up in the states (North Texas), it's treated almost identically to water. There's a baffling lack of recognition that soda is as impactful as it is on health.
Shower thoughts are really cool. They are more creative than what you would normally think of, because it actually broadens the range of inputs you are using to synthesize new ideas, which is what creativity is. Your environment greatly affects the creative output of your mind, because your mind is basically trying to pre-calculate routines that might appear so that it’s responsively faster if those routines occur.

It’s part of what déjà vu is. Your brain already pre-calculated a thing that might happen a long time ago when you weren’t noticing, then it actually happened and you're like - Hey wait a sec, I kind of recognize this shit. Shower thoughts are broader, because the range that we use for our creativity is actually limited by our surroundings. For instance, if we're in a social setting around a lot of people, our brains would try to optimize the relations between people, the environment, the posture. There are so many social things that go on in a social setting that occupy your mind, like trying to understand what other people are saying, trying to educate them, tell them things etc.

It’s very consuming to the mind, so when you are in the shower you probably don’t have music, you probably don’t have to think where to go next, or people you are trying to impress. It allows you to free your mind to create and synthesize new ideas using a broad range of inputs that can be a lot more random. This is because they’re not being refined or restricted to the same content matter that exists during the rest of the day, whether we are being influenced by work, or school or by a lover or any other type of social setting.
Kotlin does it more efficiently. But you wouldn't want it to be an error to use get without calling ifPresent. Sometimes you know that the type system is wrong and that in fact, although this thing is optional, it will in your case always be there. So being able to rapidly convert optionality into an error (we might call it a NullPointerException) is important. Kotlin has the !! operator for that.
Indeed. The feeling of solving a problem in 5 mins the morning after an entire day of banging my head against the wall is both one of my favorite and least favorite sensations.
Is it just me who's thinking that individuals in modern societies are not capable anymore of making meaningful decisions, including how much to drink? We're sacrificing freedom here because we became incapable. That scares me.
That's why I like HN! I could have written the exact same post (I'm not in the embbeded field though.)

In your case and in order to be %100 remote, you would need to have access to a company intranet, access to the source code, be able to compile, deploy, run, etc. Can you easily do that in your space? If it's web, desktop or mobile all you need is an internet access. Just curious...

Also, there are places like Texas or Oregon where you can make 80-100k per year in a tech or related company. The cost is much lower outside of the main cities unlike SF/NYC where you need to drive 2h away to start getting into a 2-5 acre lot..

Outside of Austin TX for example, 1h away, you'll find huge lots for cheap. Contractors are super good and fast at building houses over there because they don't have to deal with stupid laws like "we" have in California for example. No state income tax in TX, Austin city is amazing (super crowded now though), then you get to be in the middle of noware at only 1h away from Austin. In the bay area 1h is the average commute to work. Same for Portland oregon, 1h away and you live like a king. No sales tax in OR.

The key is to find the right balance, being %100 isolated in the middle of nowhere isn't necessaraly healthy. I thought about it because I want land as well. But imagine being an hour away from a major city, living in a 15 acre property with a nice custom 5000 sqft house, a flexible state not far from a mini tech hub... sounds like a good alternative to your goal right? People don't realize how much work it involves to own a huge property. With 100 acres, it will become your fulltime (unpaid) job! 10-20 acres is enough for you to feel isolated.

Last but not least, the key here is to make sure you land a mortgage/construction loan while being at your current job. Lock it first because you will use your buying power and stable job situation to buy in a cheap place. Your current salary will help you qualify quickly and will help you initiate the process of getting/building a new house. Then look for a job in one of these places (cross your finger). Now you'll have the house, you'll have he job, you'll be able to quit-pack-and-go.
It makes me incredibly distrustful of their motives in the future. If they supported Obamas actions because he was on "their team" then how do I know that any attacks on Trump are based in fact instead of more partisan motives?
> Renowned neuroscientist Alice Flaherty theorizes that the
key biological ingredient in incubation is dopamine, the
neurotransmitter released when we’re relaxed and comfortable.

There are a lot of things attributed to dopamine these days, and it feels like it can't possibly be that simple. If it were, dopamine injections would be a great thing. It's kinda like brainwaves. Maybe it serves as a pretty good indicator (dopamine for 'pleasure', brainwaves for how relaxed you are) but it is simply small-minded to assume that dopamine alone is responsible for everything. Just like brainwaves aren't the end-all of psychology.
What is an embedded dev's view of Ada, by the way? (out of sheer curiosity)
No defense given. I'm just trying to explain why someone might choose to believe something non-scientific. Doing some descriptive science, if you will.

Aren't profit motivation and IP good enough arguments?
> But take it to the other extreme: is it governmental overreach that heroin is banned or is it a good public health policy?

Given that the most effective treatment for heroin addiction is diacetylmorphine maintenance (aka, prescription-strength heroin)[0], I'd say it's definitely governmental overreach.

10 refills? Yeah even here in the states among the heaviest of soda drinkers that seems like a useless limit...
Considering how immigration has in large part made the tech industry what it is today, and considering the CEOs of both Google and Microsoft are immigrants- not from the countries Trump banned today but nevertheless a country with hundreds of millions of Muslims - this is certainly in YCs ballpark.

Not only is this order terrible, but this sets a dangerous precedent for the future.

Also note that christians from these countries are allowed to apply for refugee status; it's essentially a Muslim ban, a religious ban.
That's true, but it's not about "most people". Most people from those nations never had a chance of ending up in the United States anyway. Even for first-world migrants, getting access to another first-world country costs tens of thousands of dollars and months or years of time.

If we're seriously interested in helping, we should stop pretending like we can absorb all the refugees in existence and focus instead on practical, tangible ways to improve the lives of the people who are suffering. There is also a degree of isolationism, which is important. There is no need for America to get involved in everyone else's fight. There are always going to be problems in the world, and it shouldn't be our concern to try to fix all of them.

Because the wars in the Middle East are often blamed on the U.S. (because of support for Israel, or American involvement in regime change, or something else), segments of the population grow to hate us, and segments of that population radicalize and believe they can derive meaning from attacking their perceived enemy in the only way they can (terrorism). This has happened numerous times in the US already. Since foreign nationals have no inherent right to access the U.S., it's perfectly logical to tighten procedures for prospective entrants from terror-prone nations.
I really get a feeling that the discrimination against Muslims will just upset existing muslims in America and elsewhere around the world. Almost 1/10 of the world population identifies with being a muslim.

I hope this doesn't backfire on trump that it creates more havoc. America is seen as the Nation of progress. It seems that is no longer the case.
Which model? I have NUC6i3SYH and NUC6i7KYK, neither exhibit any of the characteristics you've described. I've used Arch and Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on both as well as Windows 10 LTSB and Anniversary editions on the Skull Canyon. The latter is to run some graphics editing software (which is why I wanted dual M.2 slots so I could dedicate physical drives to each OS).

If it were really that bad I definitely wouldn't be able to use it as my daily driver. My Dell 5510 on the other hand is a PoS that I've had replaced 4 times now. I won't buy another Dell product because of that and their horrible support.
FWIW, there is no single definition for "alt-right". You're free to choose the definition that best advances your political leanings, but implying specificity to one description seems a bit disingenuous to me.
How can I download backups into a different directory from where they originated?

[I was just trying out tarsnap, go to the restore test section, and was a bit stumped. It seems like "-xC /other/dir" might do it, but the man page is pretty opaque. I'd like to test a restore without the risk of clobbering my data with some misconfigured backup!]

You mean while the bombing was reduced to almost nothing from 2 hot wars?
I don't think the 'map' is actually telling us anything very different than the 'for'. It is an issue I have with most articles in this vein, and this one is no different: they give simple, obvious examples that do not suggest that there is much practical difference between the approaches. We could do with some articles in which the examples are sufficiently well-developed that the advantages are clearly non-trivial.

It might be said that any such example would be too complex and drawn-out for an article like this, but if so, then to me that is like the drunk looking for his keys under the lamp-post: writing an article that claims a simple example shows a profound difference, when it does not, suggests that the Emperor's wardrobe is threadbare. The thing to do is to provide links to articles where this is worked out in sufficient depth, and I would like to see some of those links here.

French (expat) here, can't remember ever seeing any when I lived in France. Have I always been at the wrong restaurants?
I'm a left libertarian and therefore I have a natural allergy to statist solutions for problems but I acknowledge that government is a necessary evil that in many instances do good things but the fact remains that large bureaucracies, whether governmental or not, tend to corrupt over time and that's why the smallest size of government possible to carry out its function should be the goal of society.
Articles like this are helpful for some ideas. However I disagree with the methodology used(mandatory shopping list, cash only...), although maybe it works for impulsive people.

It's good to have a shopping list and to be conscious of your wealth/income. However in my opinion the best tool is have a set of principles.

Thinking only about money will often fail you. It's better to think: Given my requirements what is the most cost effective product? You probably don't want to waste time having to fix bad quality items, or going to work with a dirty shirt because your detergent is worthless. Or buying a cheap thing to realize that it was crap and having to buy the expensive product later on anyways(after having lost the money you put on the cheap thing).

On some products, like tools or a car, you should ask yourself: Will this product ever let me down? How long will it last? A lifetime? Keep in mind that pricey products can be good deals too.

On commodity goods spend less, on everything else spend smarter.

The tl:dr is that interpreters are already vetted to an extreme degree before they can receive visas under the SIV program, and that this order may in fact cost lives.
How many muslims did the US kill last year vs other countries?
It takes two years of vetting before a refugee is granted entry to the United States, and even then most applicants are denied. The process includes multiple interviews, background checks, and biometric searches.[1]

Why isn't this sufficient? Well, it is sufficient. Your chances of being killed by a refugee turned terrorist is 1 in 3.6 billion according to the Cato Institute.[2] So why isn't considered sufficient? Quite frankly it a political ploy to gain support by stoking unfounded fears of others.

There are no bad foods, only bad diets. Why pick on sugary drinks, but leave ice cream shops alone. Why not put a hazard tax on buffet restaurants. Imagine the government decides they don't like the way you live your life, so they make laws to screw you and people like you. Laws are the worst way to attempt to improve human dietary behavior.

You could advertise fitness, create tastier low calorie beverages, even advertise drinking a full glass of water before eating. Positive fitness outcomes can be found using non punitive means.
It's good to hear that you're standing up for your principals. What's the status of the right-wing movement in the Scandinavian countries? It's really getting a grip in many countries in Europe, and that's been very discouraging to hear.

No, I don't think he is, in that he doesn't want whites to lord it over non-whites. What he wants, as I understand it, is for different races and cultures to live in different societies/countries.

It's not obvious that adding a minority if stable players will stabilize the overall game.

I've been downvoted in HN before for posting this, but I have to say it again: It's not Trump who put jackbooted thugs in US airports. I'm no fan of the new president, but the US has been arbitrarily exercising unchecked power over noncitizens long time before Trump came to power.
Is there evidence that lack of capability is the culprit? Is it possible that people are perfectly capable, but make informed unhealthy choices because it's what they want to do?

I can't stand even 8oz of sugary soda, but I also can't imagine judging or restraining someone (let alone with the violence of the state) who wants to.
I chuckled at this because I have a 5X too and I like it but my wife's Moto G4 Plus is amazing and cost something like half of what I paid for my Nexus, so I feel like I paid more than I needed to for a solid phone.
I have no data, but I'd wager that iOS developers who sell directly to end users are rare nowadays. Most of us are paid good money to build apps for bigger companies that make their money outside of the App Store. Often we don't even use our own Mac for that, so as a first step, we might use a Mac at work and Windows/Linux at home.

If we left the ecosystem, the cost of native iOS development would increase, and companies would build portable (and/or crappy) apps instead. macOS indie apps would also lose some customers, and IMHO these apps are what makes the Apple world worthwhile in the first place.
> You can't build a sustainable economy on pretending things aren't actually cheap and that people aren't willing to get paid next to nothing to do them.

I'll type this until I'm blue in the fingers, but the fundamental issue driving the wedge is that any savings is prevented from actually benefiting consumer prices, due to explicit national policy.

If Walmart comes in with imported goods and cuts prices in half, then people's cost of living should go down. Even though work is leaving, people should actually need to work less to support their same lifestyle.

But as market progress would cause the CPI to decrease, the federal reserve explicitly creates enough new money to compensate and then some. The new money inflates prices precisely where it can be injected into the consumer economy - anything that can be financialized (eg houses, cars, healthcare, education).

The people are correct to be upset about their economic position - they're bearing the downsides of market progress while sharing few of the gains, by policy. Unfortunately their ire is easily misdirected toward other unfortunate victims, to keep this society-scale wealth extraction scheme going.
Unfortunately, it is about the fact that they are Muslims.

Not only "enemy combatants" were killed a great number of innocent women and children were as well. I never claimed "terrorists" might try and enter the country by this route but it is utterly preposterous in my mind to claim you care about a population that you are murdering. If Democrats cared about drone murder they certainly dident enough to protest.
One thing that's improved our results is asking to see the changes actually working. The person has to demo them live to the reviewer. Many times a small bug or hiccup occurs which would never have been seen by comparing diffs.

Probably because some insignificant (read: small) country has the lowest rate. It's easier to make comparisons when the population size is in the same order of magnitude.

I don't have a strong opinion on the ban itself, but it doesn't surprise or scare me that people don't know how to deal with unlimited quantities of food. Until recently, food was scarce, and evolution hasn't caught up to free refills. It takes a lot of education and willpower to make healthy choices.
We just did a full lab (30 machines) of Intel NUCs (NUC6i7KYK) mounted on the back of LG 21x9 monitors. It is quite a nice setup. I dearly wish there had been an Apple Mac Mini update, but we can get by with Windows in that lab. Went with Samsung M.2 SSDs and 32 GB of memory.
As a soft Trump supporter, this infuriates me. I hope he walks this back quickly.
