They're right to criticize any president when it comes to executive orders. The biggest flaw in them is that they lean heavily on implied powers which in itself is a hotly debated clause of the constitution. Anyone worth their salt on any part of the US political spectrum would oppose their overuse and abuse. Frankly, the fewer EOs any POTUS issues the better since each one expands the reach of the executive branch at the expense of the others.
Again, my understanding of IT market, is that shortage of candidates Silicon Valley, and not only, so complains about, is because there are NO local candidates willing to take that job, and not because "all those indians steal our young grads jobs". If by saying "So you're saying the incentives would work as intended" you mean minimum salary wage will raise because of that, don't think so.
I guess some people aren't Lou Reed fans. Some people saw this state of affairs long before it happened.

Not much different, but the basic idea is to not be limited to a particular runtime or language, and to get away from transpiling other languages to javascript. Essentially, serving containers or emulators with native code, rather than documents and JS.
Hi HN! Gmail message ID finder is a small Chrome extension that adds a 'Copy message ID' button to the Gmail message menu.
When you click it, the RFC 822 message ID of that message is copied to your clipboard.
With this ID, you can find the exact message again later very easily.

I personally use it for keeping track of important emails in our CRM.

Because this ID is a property of the email itself, and not something that this extension provides, it works everywhere.
If your colleague got CC'd on an old email you'd like to point them to, you can pass them the message id and it will work for them as well.

It also works great in Inbox and the Inbox & Gmail Android apps.
It could have to do with that xterm is trying to faithfully emulate an actual terminal (viz., VT220 with extensions) by replicating the VT's internal state machine, whereas libvte is trying to approximate the behavior of xterm and cutting corners as it does so.

Note that while libvte seems to have greater throughput, its latency is terrible compared to xterm.

> I've gone through this before and the law is very clear that continued employment is not a valid compensation for changing the terms of your employment.

Please do not say things like this. A worker in Massachusetts, Illinois, or New York may read what you said, believe you because you said "the law is very clear," sign a new agreement thinking they got one over, and then roll out the other side to realize "oh, shit, that guy on Hacker News didn't know what he was talking about."

Whether continued employment counts as consideration is a state by state issue.
That could happen even if you just want an overhang on the back side. The tool should handle this case but as a workaround you could always lay out voxels as scaffolding then delete them.
Why not release a binary for Linux, Windows, etc.?
Thank you for your analysis of the post I made earlier. I have learned a thing or two from it.

If the sale fails, I'll definitely do it on the side but with a few tweaks.
I disagree. If you are not willing to pay 100k then finding someone is not the problem. You just don't want to pay market rates.

The point of H-1B is when salary is not the problem.

PS: Remember, someone on an H-1B can leave your employment. Paying market rates is supposed to keep that from happening, thus the intent is to remove a shortage not lower pay.

I just added a feature to tmux-git that makes the tmux clipboard propagate up into higher clipboards for nested tmux. https://github.com/tmux/tmux/commit/4ede35c48c089abe3fca0d94...

Keep in mind that your terminfo has to support this, so make sure your ncurses-term package is the latest release from Jan 28.

I also made a patch for st to support OSC 52 propagation into Xorg, but it was rejected by the st maintainers because it uses base64 (as the OSC de-facto spec from xterm dictates).

The patch for st is however in a branch of the Wayland-fork of st

https://github.com/michaelforney/st/tree/selection

Another option if you use nested copies of tmux is to use this feature to get the remote clipboard into the local one, then yank with xclip.

Work: This is a matter of priority... you can always find ways to pay the bills and put food on the table. It might not be doing exactly what you love, or it may be. There are ways to make almost anything work if you spend the graft making a name for yourself. You're right, it's frequently easier, dare I say simple to find a comfortable job doing what you love in the city. I'm at a point now where I have enough of a client base who trust the quality of my work to give me the freedom to work from home part time which makes this a lot easier. But even in the countryside, if you're capable and interested in learning new skills to a high degree of quality, which I am, there will always be people willing to help you put a roof over your head and food on your table.

Schools: I agree, you can't substitute a good education, but there are more ways to educate kids to a high level than sitting in a classroom. Scouts, Guides, 4H, Outward Bound, there are many stables that need stable hands, farms that need labour. There are endless numbers of lessons to be learned about working as a team, discipline to work on your own etc. etc. etc. There are many ways to effectively supplement their academics that they would never stand a chance of getting in the city. It just takes a different way of looking at things. That's not to say that the academic education kids get in the city is to be dismissed. But the more I hear about our inner city schools failing our kids, the more I wonder how effective they even are in this current climate.

Politics: This is very geo-specific. There are many liberal, conservative and more socialist leaning communities. It really depends on the demographic of that area and who the tax system is set up to benefit. The village I grew up in tended to be much more moderate... I'm not sure how to describe it actually, liberally conservative perhaps? We had a socialist mayor when I was growing up there and the closest town was quite metropolitan, but still enjoyed the benefits of the socialist leaning community that all looked out for one another. It was pretty much live and let live, help each other out, look after your neighbours, proud of their community and the town was very well kept and maintained. If an area is downright too conservative and that's not for you, I'd suggest not living there ;)

Even in rural areas, you can find much more in common with your neighbour than you think, regardless of their political sway, whether they're a hardcore biker or businessman, doctor, lawyer, farmer. We're all in this together, even if some of their ideals don't quite mesh with your own.

Might? They've been struggling since the Bush Administration ushered forth an era of warrantless wiretaps and black sites.

My biggest criticism of Obama has always been his lax attitude towards the War in Terror infrastructure: NSA mass surveillance; drone strikes against American citizens in countries we are not at war with; the unaccountable FISA court, to name a few.

Obama gave his successor a loaded gun. I was uncomfortable with Obama handling it, much less anybody else.

Ask HN: Optimal Ax(i/e)s
Say you were deliberating between startups to join as an engineer. Each excelling along some of the following axes:

(a) leadership (sold startups / x-factor)
(b) presence of other rockstar engineers
(c) growth/some north-start metric
(d) hard/interesting problem/market
(e) "tier-1" investors

How would you prioritize? Let's hold culture fit constant across all cos for now.

Congress is supposed to be a check on that power. However, because of the systematic corruption of money, Congress is full of compliant and easily bought politicians, though, thus leaving few that would actually have the willingness to fight a despot.
Well, according to the Wikipedia article about sizeof,

In the programming languages C and C++, the unary operator sizeof generates the size of a variable or datatype, measured in the number of char size storage units required for the type. As such, the construct sizeof (char) is guaranteed to be 1.
Budgetary reasons. Why would the FBI spend their own money and resources to enforce FDA regulations? That's money coming out of their budget. There would need to be in place a central federal police force that would be funded by the various agencies that require X number of hours of law enforcement per year. But this might create even greater costs due to the overhead in running this federal police force. You would need offices all over the country alongside the current federal agency offices like FDA, FBI, DEA, etc.

It would probably be easier to have the FBI setup as a federal police force which it pretty much almost is. Agencies could send part of their budget to the FBI to essentially purchase law enforcement hours. Factor in the cost of hourly rate of officer + hourly rate of overhead for officer + usage of resources + any other expenses incurred and then bill that to the agency that requires the police work. This would help smaller agencies by reducing the costs they would have to spend on maintaining a police force of their own 24/7. The only issue would be that the FBI would need to maintain a force large enough to enforce anything the other agencies would require of it. Things like DEA work and regular FBI work would require much more man power than things like DOE work so smaller agencies might not get the representation and priority they would get by maintaining their own force.
Agree that this doesn't warrant flagging. Thanks for re-posting. As an American who regularly travels within and beyond our borders, I've developed similar feelings about the protocol for security checks in the US. Getting the full-body patdown is awkward, taking off jackets, belts, shoes, etc. and then putting them back on in front of a throng of people borders on humiliating for someone with anxiety issues.
Ah, I stand corrected. Thank you.
Which is intended as an incentive to automate the process, for which there are a bunch of great tools available.

It improves security at the small cost of having to slightly improve your deployment process.

128MB was the total RAM in the VPS including OS + nginx + JVM + Postgresql. The heap allocated to the JVM process was about 64MB, but bear in mind that this was an actual application. So, it's hard to do a detailed comparison between JVM and Go without standardising on the application. All that I am claiming is that JVM is in the same ball park.

The power of the Presidency has been slowly expanded over the last few centuries. Each time, when the power was expanded, it was done so under a President who seemed reasonable enough that nobody was afraid of what the change truly meant. They knew that their current President wouldn't abuse it, and they didn't think much further ahead than that. Many of these expansions of power were made for very short-term political gain that seems downright silly in retrospect.

Trump should be a lesson that reverberates throughout future history on why we should always be wary of expanding the Presidency's power. There will come along a President every once in a while who will abuse every drop of power given to him and who will basically act like he's in an episode of Game of Thrones. The government should be designed to work fairly even with such a person in power.
For me, the beauty is when it is apparent on the first sight what the code does. This is just the opposite of beauty (in my eyes :-)).

Indeed. Among the many reasons life-expectancy was worse back then, children were less likely to survive to adulthood. Among "Great Grandpa's" 13 siblings growing up on the farm, the one who drowned unsupervised at the ol' swimmin' hole six miles from home is just another statistic next to the couple who died as infants from disease.

Everyone's grandparents who survived just fine are exactly that: just fine, because they survived.

Nowadays, with parents having fewer children on average and with tragic childhood accidents being more exceptional, I would only expect modern parenting to favor greater restrictions.

Wealth has gravitated around massive city centers since time immemorial and China is even more hostile to foreigners. If you think America is the only one artificially gating wealth within the border then you are in for a rude awakening.

Coastal cities in America will continue to be a melting pot of culture but the wealth won't be siphoned off unabated.

The rationale behind the policy is ending the indentured servitude experienced by foreign workers and the hollowing out of the middle class.

I don't know if the "cmd-click to open path" is a feature that's already built in to any Linux terminal (though I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was, considering how many terminals Linux has).

You can probably do something like it with urxvt's perl extensions. You could also just double-click to copy the path to the X primary selection and then use a keyboard macro to open the path in the primary selection in your file browser, or whatever.
It also varies from one compiler to another, and on a few different versions on the same compiler. It also varies on the same OS, same compiler but different target architecture.

And that's now. Who knows if it won't vary due to compiler optimizations in the future? It is wrong to rely on anything more than what it says on the standard.

It also fails in firefox because the algorithms for sorting 3D css are not specified. Or if they've have been finally firefox hasn't implemented them.

It can also represent disagreement with atomically small HN posts. shrugs In this case I highly doubt most HN commenters support Trump, because he already has majority disapproval. Most normal republicans aren't super fond of tax hikes, even if they are done indirectly.
Yeah this is all attributable to the relative size/shipping distances involved in the UK vs. the US.

1-day shipping in the U.S. outside of major metro areas is basically impossible at that $100 price point (or whatever Prime is these days). 2 days is pretty remarkable when you really think about it.

7 env. LOL.

Don't get me wrong. It's a good thing. Most people I know don't even have unit tests. Having a CI is fantastic. 7 env is more than a lot of people do.

But that doesn't even scratch the surface of the combinations of factors you can get. It can't.

You can't install all the locals, all the lib versions, simulate all network conditions and all user inputs.

You will get strange bugs that your CI didn't take in consideration. And some of them will be very hard to reproduce. That's just a fact.

Now knowing you do have all this setup I just can't understand we still disagree. It's impossible you didn't run in those.

It's very early in the game for most of Waymo's competitors, and next year's disengagement reports will be more telling, as it will give us an indication as to the rate of progress being made by the various players in this race.

GM's Cruise appears to be on a solid trajectory.

Tesla appears to be in a state of clusterfuck. They made the committed decision to build expensive sensor suites and a PX drive 2 computer worth 'a few thousand dollars' (according to Jen-Hsun Huang) into every new Tesla. This marries Tesla to an incremental development approach that certainly good for generating excitement and engaging users near term, but the holy grail is L4, and Tesla is putting a whole bunch of unnecessary obstacles between themselves and that longer term objective.

So long as it isn't safety critical, it isn't hard to demonstrate impressive proof of concept, but what is clear by Waymo's gigantic numbers is that mopping up those last remaining edge cases and validating their system against them is actually a monstrous undertaking. Not impossible, just really hard. The closer you get to the finish line, the harder it gets.

So my guess is that whatever progress Tesla makes with HW2, they will have to set up a separate dedicated division for testing and validating a proper L4 vehicle if they wish to keep pace with the rest of the peloton. Every other big player has abandoned any notion of taking an incremental approach towards full robotaxi-grade autonomy for good reasons.
Agreed. The world is bigger than just tech. Take a look at all the other backgrounds that often get H1Bs. A big one is scientists.

If you made the floor $100K, say goodbye to non-PhD (and some PhD) scientists! And since the demand for PhDs isn't that high (you often have 2-3 non-PhDs reporting to a PhD), say goodbye to a lot of scientists using the H1B.
