Ok, then how exactly do you propose tech companies hire you when you absolutely refuse to leave this rural area? You think they're going to set up a satellite office just so they can hire one or two people out in SmallTown?

Of course you can't find work, if you choose to live in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't make sense to locate companies in places with very few qualified workers. If it did, companies would be locating in places like that all the time because the cost of living is so much lower, and they can pay a lot less. But they don't, they locate in high-CoL areas.
The thing is, Types are really hard to make work in a distributed unbounded non deterministic system like... well any system that is multi threaded. You can try to hide stuff with channels, but most of the time, you will feel the abstraction leaking.
Indeed. I'm having a hard understanding why Github, Gitlab or Attlasian didn't jump already in requesting full ownership of the project. This is the clearly the most important open source project to their core business.
Their revenue ($400MM) is impressive for a messaging app, but honestly, the valuation it carries at this point is nuts. It's just an app and I personally don't believe it has a sufficient economic moat to justify that. Where's the ecosystem? How can we bolt on value from having that audience? Unlike Facebook, we won't have a billion people using Snapchat any time soon.

Then again, I didn't believe Instagram was worth $1bn when acquired either, and looking back, was wrong on that. But there's a massive disconnect between the current valuation of Snapchat, and the valuation of Instagram (when it was acquired).

For whatever it's worth, Windows 10 is one of my favorite looking user interfaces, especially with its dark theme. I am not sure why so many mainstream operating systems do not offer viable dark themes.
When is the last time you used Windows NT? I find new features are so ingrained in my workflow that I don't even realize they're new.
The cost of moving software that relies on app engine frameworks is probably the bigger unstated one. Unless you can port those frameworks to your shiny new datacenter with automated deploys, etc, you'd be running two versions of the same code for a while.

Unified opposition from Dems + some opposition from the GOP can be enough to constitute a majority, though. (It's why the DeVos nomination is on the edge of failing right now.)
Treating Saudi Arabia as if it's a country is perhaps the most common mistake analysts make when examining the House of Saud.
I'm wondering where the loss is coming from. I'm skeptical that it's all coming out of the cost of infrastructure and workforce. I know they've had some company acquisitions in the past, so I wonder how that is coming into play.
You're misunderstand what SELinux does with OpenVPN.

OpenVPN runs confined, so the only thing it's allowed to access in your profile directory is the certificate files.

The OpenVPN SELinux policy says "OpenVPN may only access files marked home_cert_t".

With gnome-keyring, it would have access to all your secrets.
Voters. Trump was elected (indirectly) by the voters. Nearly half the electorate voted for him. The EC only meant that he didn't need a popular majority nationwide, just majorities in particular states where the EC gives voters more power due to lower populations.

As much as many people would have liked it, the EC did not go against the wishes of the voters in their states.
As an Uber employee and an immigrant I am very happy to see this. It's a good day.
Yep. I'm using that extension on Chrome everyday with gopass in the background. Works great!
Now that we published gopass I wanted to take another look at the source of browserpass in the coming days. Maybe we can try to support both pass & gopass (with the new features).

Personal reasons for upgrading to 7 in order of importance:

64-bit memory space support (crucial, considering enormous browser bloat after the FF 3.5 era)

TRIM support for SSDs (I switched to 7 when consumer SSDs started to become affordable)

DX11+ for gaming (DX10 was a wash in Vista, but by the time I switched to 7, there were some games that actually did look noticeably better with DX11)

Half-Open connection fix for torrenting.

If you read anything besides the headlines, you'd realize he's more of a Democrat than a Republican. Most of the policies he supports are more traditional Democrat views, except for the anti-Muslim ones.
> In modern vernacular usage, "to beg the question" is frequently[citation needed] used to mean "to invite the question" (as in "This begs the question of whether...") or "to dodge a question"

That's just useless. And you know, saying "it once was A, now it's B, so it can never be A again" is exactly as "prescriptivist".

Little things add up, and before you know it people are just stringing words together as demonstrated on a million youtube videos.

> The older meaning is obscure, largely redundant

How so? How is the "new one" (which one? heh) not redundant? If you want to say something raises a question, that's an easy way to put it right there. On the other hand, I'm not even convinced that the bastardization of "begs the question" into "raises the question" wasn't simply based on not even understanding what assuming an initial point even could be, of just hearing the phrase without understanding the context and using it as another way to say something or someone raises a question. I certainly don't hear it in common usage, regardless of the phrasing used. You know, if all those other people say they just say it because "most" people do, then none of them actually do have a reason. A billion times zero is zero.

And don't even get me started on people suddenly calling low framerates "lag" :P It just destroys information, and you can call it progress because the hands on the clock moved a little, but I won't.
It'd be neat if there were a website where you can put in any company you might do business with, and it'd give you a "Crooked President" rating, for how likely it is to be one which enriches the President in some way. Particularly by being a subsidiary or partly-owned etc. (Obviously there are limits to how accurate you can get when it comes to those Cayman island accounts and things.)

While it's no excuse for his complete lack of ethics, Trumps' refusal to divest and Congress' lack of action means it may be up to individuals to ensure they don't inadvertently encourage in government corruption...

This inevitably has the effect of normalizing his behavior. At some point, you have to decide if his behavior is so far outside the bounds of acceptable that the only option left is to disengage from it.
Why take the chance when you're about to have a lot of IPO cash? Go with Google for a few years until you (hopefully) become FB. Right now they'll focus on features, signing advertisers and users.
This is pretty astonishing considering the Uber exec's personality is not exactly held in highest esteem, that even he thought it was unpopular to be affiliated with Trump. I guess the power and potential wealth isn't enough to balance out the abuse. With Donald Trump's confrontational demeanor, he might push a lot of big egos away, and some that he would have to contend with.

In other words, you can arrive to an incorrect conclusion by postulating incorrectly. Free immigration (free movement of people) is regarded as one of the core concepts of libertarian theory and philosophy. It's not "easy" to argue for restrictive policies on immigration from a libertarian standpoint.
> I was 13, maybe 5'8, and 100lbs soaking wet. He was probably twice my size, armed with numerous weapons.

This is the best possible reason to know your rights. Might does not make right.

> Expecting a 13 year old to be a constitutional lawyer (especially back in 1977) is a bit much.

No one's expecting you to be a lawyer but it's not too high an expectation to know your rights, which is the point of Duane's book. Learning your civil rights should be part of everyone's education and it's a shame that it isn't. Police exploit that ignorance, as they did to you.
Please, refrain from trolling/speculating on HN to keep it useful. There are dedicated websites and communities for political discussions and related stuff.

It is sad how people have no respect for others when they preach their political emotions all over the Internet.
While I understand this, I think it's a mistake. His company faced a huge backlash because of an implied endorsement by his involvement in the council. It was kind of a PR nightmare.

But wanting him off the council is short-sighted. You can't change anything by refusing to participate. You need a seat at the table and you need to engage in discussion. Present your arguments. Make them see your side.

By choosing to disengage, he's removed his voice from the equation. That won't bring any benefits at all.

The correct move would have been to issue a statement saying "I disagree with Trump's actions. I think they're heinous and anti-American. And I will use my position on his council to make my voice, and the voice of my employees, heard."

Though I'm not sure such a statement would have appeased the #deleteuber crowd.
Kalanick faced pressure not just from consumers #DeletingUber, but from his own team. Uber is locked in bitter competition for talent with a bunch of smart, well-funded Silicon Valley companies all of whom offer fun challenges and comparable compensation packages. Talent in the valley is overwhelmingly concerned by Trump and in opposition to racist immigration bans, war in Asia, and pretty much the rest of the Trump issue portfolio.

I'm glad to see Kalanick distancing himself from Trump. But we should look at things like this not as a hopeful sign that Silicon Valley leadership is growing a conscience, but that it's ultimately responsive to the focused desires of its rank-and-file employees, without which none of these companies can accomplish anything.

If we're looking to create change, we should keep laser-focused on what we can do as the real engines of growth that tech companies depend on. We should look at things like Kalanick buckling as an indication that the pressure we can bring to bear works. And we should look for more ways to focus that pressure uncomfortably on our employers to ensure that none of us end up looking back 10 years from now and realizing we were culpable for something horrible that we could have avoided.
The most frustrating thing for me is the automatic updates that are difficult to turn off. If I leave a Windows 10 VM running on my laptop for too long, it will decide it's "idle" and start consuming my resources. Even if I let the updates finish, it then continues for another week, whenever I leave it "idle", to perform AoT .NET compilation, pegging my CPU. Incredibly annoying.
Snap is a company that doesn't know Oneself.
If he is a security/privacy oriented guy and can handle it, I'd get a YubiKey.
That definition is circular. Of course research-level mathematics is done in academia, but there is a much larger field of applied mathematics that is done in industry.
- When I first open my eyes on the morning I usually get most of my intellectual work done from my bed. I call it half sleepy / half awake. This is when my brain is at %200. Sometimes I resolve yesterday's issues or get new ideas. It's amazing how fast and clear my brain is, right when I wake up. It only lasts for 5 minutes unfortunately. I try to take notes because everything disappears pretty quickly.

- Then I pull out my phone and check out my emails + news. It's usually 7am so the west coast is still sleeping.

- Then the food routine kicks off. Shower, breakfast, water, coffee then more water.

- Check out my emails again, it's about 8:30am. Now the day really starts.
This line was included to convince investors they have product vision considering that until Spectacles they were completely locked into Apple and Google's mobile platforms. Presumably some type of light sensing device will always exist. Will they become a product company that makes per unit margins? Maybe not.

You might enjoy PICO-8 (http://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php). Although its not a real old computer, there is an active community with a good amount of users and it has it's own set of weird constraints that encourage making small things.
Maybe it has to do with how investors view hardware vs. software companies. Social networks are much more volatile than hardware products and hardware companies are more stable.

Of course, labelling themselves as camera company isn't going to fool HN, but it might be viewed in a different light by investors.

In the USA, there is no special right to a "jury of your peers"; just to an impartial jury of sufficient size. The "peers" thing was intentionally avoided, since it was tied up with the British class system.
The obsolete part I'd really like to see everyone get away from is the 741 operational amplifier.

The 741 was introduced in the late 1960s. It's completely outclassed by modern general-purpose op-amps; there is absolutely no reason to still be using it today.
I use Atom over Sublime simply because Sublime doesn't support touch screen scrolling, and it's just second nature for me to touch and drag my screen when scrolling now.

VSCode is apparently faster than Atom, and I sped Atom up considerably by disabling languages that I rarely/never use. Timecop plugin does wonders for tracking down the slow plugins
I think that the banning of smoking in clubs, pubs, and cafes had a significant effect. Now if you want to smoke you need to leave all your friends who don't smoke leave the club and then queue to get back in.

Doing this makes you feel like an outsider to your own friendship group. I know the clubs complained bitterly that it lowered their revenue.
Pretty sure last time I checked it was impossible to get into Saudi Arabia if you were Israeli, right?

Yeap - confirmed. Even if you have a passport that shows you've traveled there will get your admission refused to Saudi Arabia:

That both directions can seem like a good idea to a speculating outsider doesn't mean the decision is an arbitrary one. It means the deciding factors aren't something we're privy to.
>Girls are free to study what they want.

Of course, but when the disparity is so large we should at least question why that is. Are girls biologically less inclined to find any appeal in STEM, or is it due to upbringing? This course appears to be following the latter, and either challenging any social bias that may dissuade girls, or balancing out any extra persuasion of boys

At that scale (160M active users [0]) I guess they could easily develop and run their own infrastructure. $2bn just screams 'inefficient implementation' to me... I could be wrong though.

May I ask why? What would companies get out of doing that?
I thought that when Trump won, the left would finally realize that being arrogant, lying, authoritarians was a mistake. Boy was I wrong.

We're seeing thousands protest over travel restrictions from 9 countries, meanwhile the US under Obama has has an international no-fly list with very little over-sight for years. Obama and Clinton wanted to use the no-fly list as a basis for banning people from owning a firearm. that means they wanted to have a list that they can put people on to take away their rights without due process.

No one cared when Obama did it and when they get another liberal in the white house they'll let them continue endless global waring, mass spying, and eroding of our liberties. Sounds like America is basically fucked to me.
Fake news.
So what's the transition time from an S-1 to being able to buy shares. Does it mean the stock will list tomorrow?
I'm pretty sure even if you canceled all the US foreign aid it will change nothing for homeless Americans.
Giving foreign aid is the US investing they get a lot of it back too, for example most of the aid money to Israel is strictly for buying military equipment from US companies not to mention that it is part of the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt.
If you think Israel sends military equipment to Al qaeda your nuts.
No, you stupid uncritical fucks, it's Fahrenheit 451. Not a single goddamn mention of Bradbury on the entire page, and his work (and arguably Heinlen's in If This Goes On and Friday) showed us exactly where we ended up.

Seriously, kind and gentle folks of HN who are outraged at Trump and the alt-right and everything else, go read the goddamn book. Order it off of Amazon.

Here's the dirty secret that it covers and 1984 and Brave New World don't:

We do this to ourselves, because we're too goddamn lazy to deal with conflicting views and too offended by the past, constantly looking for the succor of a softly-lit screen giving us the faded third-hand synthetic afterglow of existence. TV was the start, and the current social web the reasonable conclusion.

Like, seriously, have a goddamn quote:

Bigger the population, the more minorities. Don't step on
the toes of the dog lovers, the cat lovers, doctors,
lawyers, merchants, chiefs, Mormons, Baptists, Unitarians,
second-generation Chinese, Swedes, Italians, Germans,

> Is 60 lines already considered bloat, in a verbose language like C?

Due to high code quality, removing even 10 lines is an achievement for suckless.org projects. Try it yourself and submit a patch to mailing list if you succeed.

> Also, is this meant to lead to fewer complexity? Maintaining the patch separately from the code base is nothing but cumbersome.

Maintaining feature as a patch prevents you from weaving it deep inside the code, adding hooks here and there just to make it work. It is harder to do, but it is the right way to make sure all feature related logic is kept in one place.

I have some pet suckless inspired projects. During development I introduced some useless features such as pthread support just because I learned about them. Then once I realized they are useless I removed them. It greatly improved code structure.
Horrible? I would have say violet disgusting and obscene. I mean that is truly appalling. And they are allowed to call it broadband!
I would disagree about the value they are offering to advertisers. Offering a platform where targeted users actually engage with the ad is huge. I'm no advertiser, but that sounds kind of like the holy grail - the user is not only engaging with the ad, they are then sharing that ad + engagement with their friends.
I wonder if Snapchat is still using AppEngine. I'm pretty sure they were 50%+ of the AE traffic at some point.
Maybe it is, but this is a path-dependent phenomenon. GAE allowed Snap to reach this point in their growth. If they had earlier focused on internalizing their operations they might have failed to get here. Now that they are here, it apparently makes sense for them to commit to GAE for at least several more years.

...unless they have to pay noticeable money for WP hosting due to serious load, or were bitten by security problems.

A free business idea: write a converter from WP to Jekyll (or Hugo) that converts 95% of a typical WP site right, sell total conversion services, maybe reselling hosting, too.
There is nobody, anywhere along the political spectrum, that decided Trump was good because Kalanick was an advisor, and nobody that will now change their mind because he quit.

"Normalization" is the angry mob's buzzword. It has no basis in reality, only in "you're either with us or against us" hysteria.

So these procedural macros, would it be fair to characterise them as compile time reflection? It seems like these get used in the same way reflection does in other languages.
