I want to know when we have the conversation about how every developer doesn't need to be a college graduate.
We're re-vamping some of our Windows products this year to support high-DPI usage under Windows 10, so if you could be so kind, I would be curious as to what exactly you're seeing that is causing your issue: is it that older Windows applications look blurry because they aren't high-DPI-aware and Windows 10 auto-scales them, or is it that you don't like the high-DPI look because it's too sharp/jagged, looks weird on older monitors, etc. ?

I don't want to piss off our customers by making their usage experience poorer under Windows 10, so I would really appreciate any input you can provide.
I dont know why name Windows 10 a fail, when the bigger competitors of Windows are... Windows! Mac and Linux mostly are used for niche users (as us). I'm really really happy we CAN upgrade for a new Windows version easily, just compare with Android. More: the reason to most people dont upgrade isn't why "Windows 7 is better than Windows 10", but the actual reason is they are comfortable with Win7 and dont want/can take time to "learn" a new OS. Even Win7 being an awesome OS, took years to take most of XP users (even today there are a lot of loyal XP users out there...)
The articles of this author are interesting, but he’s missing something.

Really narrow roads (<6m) work, but not always. In many cities you have situations where the pedestrian traffic alone is enough to fill 15-20m wide streets.

But he is right that the #1 priority is in proportions.
you'd be surprised at how little of common sense is applied in the real world.
Insulting. But doesn't make it any less true or false. To presume that your average joe has bothered to play in the realm of academic, diligent logic and reason is a mistake. I am not saying you need to go into a university, I'm not claiming a piece of paper will lend you credibility in this regard. It's about the time and effort that people spend practicing these subjects.

How many people do you know outside of STEM that can comment on the characteristic of falsifiability of scientific theories? How many even bothered to take philosophy 101? How many have bothered to seriously invest themselves in substantive topics that will give them the tools and experience they need to make sound judgements in an array of different subjects?

We are talking about a society where in a large segment of the population does not believe credible scientific theories, and tend to latch onto what can and should be generally discarded viewpoints.

We (as a society) by and large do not hire people without basic math and reasoning skills; why do we suddenly pretend that these same qualifications should not be held in the justice system, or even entertain the idea that these qualifications should be raised to a higher standard. After all, juries sometimes have the power to ruin entire lives and families.

People's egos are not great bedrocks for their credibility and judgement to sit on. Let them be insulted.

Snap looks like the way forward by bring some of the isolation from things like Android to desktop, but at the same time the way it handles app distribution makes it tempting to use instead of docker especially if your machine is a single purpose machine (runs 1 application only).

Can anyone comment on using snap vs something like flatpak and docker for deploy your own applications to servers?
>> However it sure looks like we are going to use automation to further concerntrate wealth.

The only problem I have this statement is if you do not believe in the notion of freewill, then yes this is accurate.

If you believe in the notion of freewill, then you would think instead of seeing what's happening and think that all the wealth is being concentrated into the top 1% of society unfairly, what's to stop you from being in that 1%?

Nearly every obstacle you will list, I can name several people who have overcome those impediments to be successful. When you stop thinking the deck is stacked against you, it frees your mind to think of what your capable of, not of the greater odds that stacked against that will prevent you from achieving what you want to.
> There is one slight drawback to all the simplicity, and that is an information disclosure inherent to the design: pass stores all folder and file names in clear text, so even if you fully trust GPG, you should probably not put this repo into a public place like Github, because this may expose your account names and other metadata.

This is my concern with pass. It's an awesome tool, but it really needs to figure out a way to hide the filenames. I think this is doable (after all, encfs has the same need, and does it well), but I don't know if the pass team have the will to do it.

> First, the project is curated in a traditional mailing-list based approach that was pretty unapproachable compared to a modern Github based workflow.

Sigh, not this again. I think that I prefer email vice a proprietary, centralised single point of failure like GitHub, and I know that I'd rather not work with someone who considers email unapproachable.

If your email account is unmanageable, fix it. Email's a really, really valuable tool; don't let go of it.
> I don't see how he is an authoritarian.

Exactly, and this is exacerbated by obsolete and wasteful supply chains with an excessive number of intermediaries.

I wrote a whole long thing, but i think its much better to just illustrate my point.

You claim that H1B's:

1. can and should be used for entry level positions, because it is impossible to find entry level employees for programming

2. companies are completely unable to fill programming positions with US employees.

So lets investigate those claims then. Well, good place to start is probably looking at the top job titles of H1B visa holders.[1] Turns out the number 1 title by far, is 'Programmer Analyst' kinda vague, so lets try to dig in and see what that really is.

To do that, we can look for the top H1B visa employers[2] that appears to be Cognizant at 15,680 in 2015, followed by Infosys and TATA.

Well now that we know who the top employer of H1Bs is and what the top job title is, should be pretty easy to find an open position on their job board, right? Then we can look at the requirements for the 'Programmer Analyst' job and see what exactly is so specialized that no US college graduate is capable of accomplishing.

Weirdly, even though they filled over 33,000 of this job merely 2 years ago (an average of almost 100 jobs filled per day!) There is only 1 single job posting for a 'Programmer Analyst'[3]

Even weirder! the requirements for this job:

>Requirement: Basic computer knowledge, Good Communication skills and willing to work in night shifts

Well, that doesnt seem like such a demanding position to me....

Infosys had 0 job listings under that same title, TATA's careers site has no job listings at all[4]

But yeah, maybe you are right, maybe its just a coincidence that the top H1B job title has only 1 single listing across the top 3 H1B visa employers. Better keep letting them hire immigrants, since those stupid college grads 'cant code to save their lives' as you so put it.

America, UK or others can close their borders all the way they want. Programmer who don't get the Visa won't switch careers, but will be programming in a different country.

As American startup, it's already common to hire people remotely in other country as "contractors". Majority of top 50 Silicon Valley companies has a tech office outside of USA. Continue with closing borders, and center of tech will move somewhere else. Many countries are drooling at having their own Silicon Valley, but American politics treat it as given (same as other areas of American dominance).
When you say more generous immigration policies, do they just allow anyone in, or do they try to ensure there is an unmet demand at home? Can I just get a ticket land there and get a job in a desirable sector?
The Tragedy of Maybe and Ruby
> Because all your friends and former classmates can't code even if their life depended on it.

Everyone's experience varies of course. I have interviewed kids regularly from all tiers of US universities (most recently CMU). As a rule I found an international Masters student has a much better chance of failing the basic coding exam than an American-born BS graduate. Also I noticed when it comes to top students, American students overall come ahead in our interview process.
> Peers are supposed to know you, your character, and your history.

I don't think so. It's one thing to say that juries should be made of private citizens drawn from your nation/state/town. It's another thing entirely to say that juries should be made up of your buddies. Peer is not a synonym for neighbor. It means "equal".
I really like your site. I have an API-based service for software licensing. How important has language bindings/SDKs been for developer on-boarding? Just curious, as I don't have bindings ready and have detected a little bit of friction because of it. I also don't have an admin dashboard yet. Joys of releasing a beta early. :)
I'm glad you changed your mind. The corrolary to this is to suggest that uneducated or unprincipled defendants should be tried by an uneducated, unprincipled jury. Everyone deserves access to an informed jury, regardless of the exact definition of 'peer'.
Where did you go? I'm very interested in this, but really where else do you have:

- Nearly unrestricted freedom of speech

- For the time being, no constant surveillance state

- Comparatively low taxes for the services provided
> To be clear, it isn't that I find the code difficult to grok: if you don't understand how switch works, please stop using C.

Oh please. C is perfectly usable without knowing switch is actually a bunch of gotos. The idea that one has to know all the hidden edges of a language to use it is pointless, because every language has something like that. Even Python can be a minefield if one tries hard abusing metaclasses, and I'm pretty sure 95% of the Python users don't know how to use them.

If you pursue the idea of knowing every deep place to the extreme, the only language left for general developers to use is Go. A language so concerned at removing hidden features that almost no features are left.
Having an gmail address in your profile that contains "HN" or "YC" really isn't "falsely suggesting a YC affiliation".

It suggests "I want to keep my real address/identity private and created on specially to be reachable on HN", which is a completely sensible thing to do.

And even if you really weren't sure, just asking (or contacting the mods) would have been the thing to do.
lambda would be a good way of scaling this without improving the architecture otherwise :)
You are misunderstanding user screen fatigue. This [1] is the error message spit out by openvpn when it asks you to restorecon on your cert directory - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689818#c3

It is NOT asking you to do some specific openvpn restricted setting. Its basically setting it to the same permission level as gnome-keyring. Except - not even password protected. And the biggest issue - obviously an end-user has to muck about this stuff.

Not only should they mass create keys for all accounts, but they should make (other/more) keys available for any purpose. An open system where most email addresses come with a set of keys would enable many types of encryption systems (file sharing, login, messaging, etc...) Users would still have keys managed by Google (or IT, or their webmail host) so they don't have to understand key management, and they'd have someone to call when things break.
The whole thing is about "show your Github contributions", further cementing Github's monopolism, right?

Sounds like you have a problem with the owners/managers, not Warren. Do you really think he came all the way from Nebraska to point out your neighbor and tell management to work him to death?

Warren is notoriously hands off with the businesses he buys. He typically buys them because they are well run and he doesn't have time to fix anything.
I think the natural competition has just shifted up into social structures. But yeah life isn't "free" even in the jungle.

It's not very common to eat the unripe litchis though. But children do eat these unripe here and there. As in while running around in those orchards mostly playfully or stealing for fun and taste. We usually eat only ripe ones. I am from the same place as the parent commenter. They taste really bad unripe.

No, litchi orchards are usually sold well before they ripe and people protect it. So most of the litchi is consumed after it's ripe and from the market unless someone has their own orchard.

Ask HN: Enterprise companies building on Linode, Digital Ocean, others?
I'm trying to help my company move more into the cloud for greenfield projects, and while I know that not all clouds are the same such that the only thing that separates them is price, the price discrepency between something like a linode vm or a digital ocean vm (albeit with shared cpu's but then again so are GCE's VM's -- shared cpus) and one on GCE or Azure or AWS is close to 5-7x in price. A 8GB ram, 4 core, 96GB SSD, 4TB bandwidth linode VM costs 40 bucks max a month, whereas something similar on Azure or GCE would be closer to 200.

What linode or the others might not have is all the tools that an AWS or GCE or Azure give but if that's not needed (if not yet) to me, it makes sense to build on a linode or digital ocean than an AWS or Azure. Are companies doing so, if so who? Care to share any experiences?

Dope Discoveries – Issue 3
Urban farming is in early days so ideas are still be attempted that may not make sense for the long term. That may change.

There are many things we do in our worldwide agriculture system precisely because they make economic sense. That doesn't mean they are a good idea. We are going to pay the price for that lack of judgement. I am excited to see anything that bucks that trend.
The point is not whether it can be understood. The point is that if two sides both make convincing arguments, how do you pick which one is correct? Without knowing the subject matter yourself, as a human one will usually fall back to confidence and charisma. Your brain unnoticeably substitutes "which one is correct" (which is hard / impossible to answer at a dumbed down level) with "who do I trust" which is ruled by charisma and confidence more than anything else.

The wrong projects get funded all the time. In the legal system one should do better.
The same output with different code is what a clean room implementation would give you too. So clearly this is an insufficient specification.

There's a difference between camps with employees around to supervise children (a "summer camp") and camps where a family might go by themselves with just a tent and a van and stay for a weekend. Campsites for families/adults might have just a single park ranger there 8 hours a day, or no supervision at all. They usually provide a cleared area in the woods for a car and a tent, a water spigot, maybe an electricity hookup, a fire pit in the middle of a clearing, but that's about it. They're often located in more scenic campgrounds for people who don't like to hike, but want to be out in the wilderness, build a fire, cook food outdoors, and sleep in a tent.

The woman from Germany left her kids at a campsite/clearing in the woods, with no supervision -- not a summer camp designed for children, with adults (or, at least, college students) providing some type of supervision.

ACH Statement in Support of the National Endowment for the Humanities
> I'm not being hypocritical at all.

We're going to have to differ on that.

> The Native Americans had an economy, yes. But the economy was much, much bigger after immigration.

But native Americans did not necessarily benefit from that larger economy, in fact, in a very measurable way did the opposite. Mostly because the immigrants were exactly that which the current ones are unjustly accused of (being murderous bastards).

The one thing the Native Americans weren't saying was 'these Europeans are here because of our jobs'.

> That's my entire point: immigration fueled economic growth in America.

But for a different reason than the one you keep harping on.

It grew because of their capital and consumption.

> Skilled labor (and investment capital) played a major part.

Less than you think or wish to believe, but since you're somewhat stuck on this I'll just let it go.

If you feel open minded I encourage you to read this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_immigration_to_the_...

And not to just cherry pick the bits that fit your narrative.

> From horticulturalist to provide plants for early agriculture, to carpenters and ship builders in Boston (and later steel and tools makers), to the physicists and engineers fleeing Europe during the World Wars, to the technology people today. All of these people contributed to the technological growth and dominance of the US.

That they did. But - again - they are not the predominant factor. In fact the employers needed the immigrants (so immigrants needing other immigrants) mostly for 'dumb' labor (hence also the import of many slaves from Africa and indentured people from Europe).

> If none of these immigrants were skilled, the US would look more like China or India than it does.

No, the US would look more like England, which in fact it does.
