It's of course true that at Google you have a chance to make a bigger impact. (Not guaranteed - it depends on what project the intern is given, and that's kind of random.) And interns do get lots of support.

But, to say that there is "no merit or effort on her part" is an insult to all the good work interns do while they're here. They're not coasting.

Seems like you're so eager to tear this down that you'll say anything.
I've got both Uber and Lyft on my phone, which I guess could be analogous to having two hot dog stands on the same block. Drivers can switch between the two just as easily.

You're right though, they do have a well-established brand, and they have spent a lot of effort in getting around all sorts of legal problems. I wonder, though, if the legal things that Uber has paved the way on would ever make it easier for some other Uber clone to take up the same business without all of the legal hurdles, since they've already established some sort of precedent.
Does that include the accounting for recruiter salaries, the time taken away from employees to conduct interviews, etc.? You'd think that CA being an at-will state would encourage more performance-related terminations. Fail early, fail fast- with your talent pool.

>In 1945, the US imposed on France and Britain a new regime: they had to start letting go of their colonies, but in return, the US imposed peace would allow any country to complete for raw materials by price rather than by power.

Yeah, I drink 1.5L of black tea a day. Around 300mg of caffeine.

Can confirm, I am definitely a caffeine addict. In fact, I switched to tea mostly because I was consuming a ridiculous amount of unneeded calories in sugar and cream in energy drinks and coffee when I mostly just wanted tasty caffeine.
If you're interested in this, I recommend Martin Kleppmann's book "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" which is a longer form discussion of these topics.

Exactly, so unless it leads to contradictions it may be weird and unintuitive but it's not wrong.

Bridge chokepoints and other small hops over bodies of water / mountains are a great case for flying cars. It would be great for seattle, manhattan, SF, hawaii, islands, etc.

You also don't need to build much infrastructure other than landing/takeoff sites. Large infrastructure alone, especially in a place like the USA is a big blocker.
Payroll tax avoidance for sure.
If there's anyone here with experience using both Rocket and Iron, would you be willing to share your thoughts on the differences between them?

I've got an API server started in Iron, but I have to say the claims of productivity and less code overhead that Rocket is proclaiming seem pretty nice right about now.

For the nootropic and supplement crowd adding something like this would be trivial to swallow and manufacturers will probably start selling more potent pills if the market demands it.

Its also interesting to know the the 'miracle' supplement theanine is also a green tea derivative. Every stack I've seen on nootropic forums seem to contain it, especially as it cancels out the overly stimulating effects of caffeine, but leaves the focus effects in. I wonder what more secrets green tea leaves hold and if they're more than partly responsible for Japan's impressive longevity.
Curious how overlearning influences political beliefs, and if a subject is less likely to alter their belief system based on living in an "echo chamber" and constant re-enforcement of those beliefs.
That chapter is where I got that phrasing but it's literally the chapter right before the one on the FFI, an advanced topic with unsafe code! In the bottom third of the book.

I'm talking about scattering bits of that chapter all over the book, including the first concrete language chapter on Variable Bindings. There's over thirty chapters between "Ownership" and "Choosing your Guarantees" which I think creates massive friction for new developers who never even get to that chapter before getting frustrated and giving up.
"My only comment is in how you measure the value of an address."
This. Having lived in the center (reddish area) and later also in southern Helsinki (bluish green), I strongly prefer the latter due to it's proximity to the sea and as it's way quieter area without busses, trams or general traffic. And judging by housing prices so do many others who live in the city.

Don't get me wrong. I found the map highly interesting but maybe in determining best places to live it's a bit of a stretch. There might more value here for businesses that aim to be easily reachable.
Pai's position on the issue is in line with the President and the majority of Congress; even if he were to be fired for some reason, he'd be replaced by someone similar on this issue, unless his firing was because you had a massive groundswell of public support for net neutrality that was enough to convince a sufficient number of members of Congress that support for neutrality was essential to their reelection prospects.
How is giving Goldman people government positions buying them if not by giving them the power to set rules as they like? It's not like they are in it for the cushy gov't benefits.
Yes, I'd argue that the UK's approach to regulation may as well be network neutrality by another name. It's looser than the FCC's interpretation but the desired end result (from a consumer perspective) is very similar.

Re: UK internet censorship and data logging - agree not connected to this debate (and, yes, it's fucking depressing).
My initial instinct is to ignore all of that documentation in your screenshot.

Specifically, the first thing, inner(), says that you generally don't have to call it because there's a Deref implementation. Deref is a trait that lets you implement things that loosely resemble smart pointers or similar wrapper types: for instance, CString, which tracks a Rust-owned C-compatible string (null-terminated), has a Deref implementation to an array of bytes. So I know that I can usually use a State<T> when a function seems likely to want an &T or Box<T> or similar, and I can carry on and not care very much more until I need to.

The rest are trait implementations of common traits (Debug is like Python's repr, PartialEq and Eq are comparisons, etc.), and the documentation is from the trait. I think this is a rustdoc weakness, but I know about it, so I can ignore reading the docs.
It's worth putting in a shout-out to Lofgren's H1B bill:

https://lofgren.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentI...

Far from "emasculating" it like the article suggests, the "bucketing" system in Lofgren's bill is designed to put upward pressure on all wages, including those of American citizens. The way that it works is that positions paying in the top 2/3 of the average wage for their geographical area will get priority over those that pay only the average wage, regardless of how much they pay their H1Bs. (And within the bucket, they get priority based on how much more than the prevailing wage they pay the H1B worker.) This prevents companies from bidding up the price of their H1B workers only, and forces them to raise wages for all of their American citizens as well in order to take advantage of the market-based allocation of H1Bs.
Cleaned it up and tested it as Unit Tests. `^unsafe(\s(\{|fn|trait|impl))` will match the four examples I gave but not match print or commented `unsafe`. I'm not sure if unsafe can be indented inside of a block but ignoring whitespace at the start of a line should fix it.

I did this as a learning experience because I either regex101 doesn't properly implement /g or I don't understand capture groups. :D

Tech companies have a strict interview process because a mediocre engineer is actively harmful.

At most companies, the hiring manager and interviewers, who are predominantly other engineers, get to decide whether or not to hire a candidate. There simply isn't a mechanism for upper management to manipulate the process in the way you suggest.

Interesting thought.

You know, you could also just make it illegal to "sell" votes in the way the United States currently allows? Most other Western/Democratic countries figured this out a long, long time ago.
Our Big Front End Plan
I don't believe it. I live in Croatia and everybody under 30 speaks English beautifully. Almost everybody under 40 speaks functional English. Most people under 50 understand commercial English, even if their grammar is shit.

You probably didn't struggle to find an English-speaking person. You struggled to find a person willing to speak English with you. That's a subtle, but important, difference.

Most of my neighbors pretend not to understand English around tourists because it saves them enormous hassle. At first, I was appalled when I realized this. Now, I confess to doing it myself. It gets exhausting answering the same questions from unresourceful tourists over and over again.

Locals don't want to be your tour guide. They just want to enjoy their coffee in peace.
interesting facts, from the decision:

Importantly, there is no evidence that the ... standards are unavailable to the public. In fact, the undisputed record evidence shows that the standards are required to be available in physical form from OFR; are available for purchase from the [first] Plaintiffs in hard copy and from the [second] Plaintiffs in hard copy and PDFs; and are accessible in read-only format for free in [second] Plaintiffs’ online reading rooms

If this information is freely available in electronic format — which seems to be the case for the second plaintiff — then in my mind the concern is greatly mitigated. The defendant could simply link out to the relevant page.

I'm surprised the decision doesn't mention the cost that the first plaintiff charges for the hard-copy of their standards (which are apparently not electronically available), since the cost/delay seems relevant. If the cost is hundreds or thousands of dollars, there definitely be cause for concern. On the other hand, if the cost is negligible, I'm somewhat less concerned.

To be clear, I still think that whatever agencies incorporate third-party content by reference should always require that the documents be freely available online. I just think these facts about current availability are interesting (and are not mentioned in the EFF post).
Check out Freemind. It's been collecting dust on the shelves.
The first time I went on a Rust doc page I felt exactly like you: «what the hell is this mess ! I understand nothing».

But a few weeks in, it started to make total sense, and now I see the page you link to and I'm like «That's pretty clear, no problem here». It just takes a little time to get used to the documentation syntax and formatting I guess.

The J-1 program is readily abused. I've known young people abroad just graduated with finance or accounting degree are brought in under the J-1 program, under the guise of "business training" for 3 months. They end up doing retail work in bakery or manual work in the kitchen for minimum wage. They have to pay for their own cost for flight, food, and room.
Conformal Prediction: Machine Learning with Confidence Intervals
I'm not disputing your accepted meaning of random. I actually was trying to make common ground with the poster to whom I was responding who was using "random" in a non-standard way.
The correct way to do this is immediately release a bulletin to admins to block the affected service, then push a patch to disable it, then push a patch to fix and reenable it when they feel ready.

It's only unwinable because Microsoft refuses to take a PR/cash hit of telling people to stop using something while it's broken.
It's possible illegal immigrants saved money - the question then arises why the Americans didn't.
What? That is happening.
It's not typical.. here's what you should expect from PM:
- Align with the CEO / business goals and prioritize accordingly. Every feature should map to a top level business theme you're trying to accomplish.
- They may not be involved in hiring, but they should provide clarity on the product side and inspire the team on company vision and how it positively impacts users and customers.
- As an engineer you can / should ask questions and hold them accountable.. "what are our filters for selecting features?", "why are we building this feature and how does it map to our business goals?", etc.
I find rustdoc's default layout to be suboptimal. Javadocs[0] give you the method summary table right below the prose and they are screen-filling like wikipedia, so the prose does not take up too much space.

With rustdoc you have to click on the [-] in the top right to get an overview of the available methods.

But yes, once I have that overview I can usually pick out the methods I need. The type signatures can be a little complex, but so are C++ templates.

"It's funny to see the sharing economy promoted as a goal in itself, when 30 years ago one of the criticisms of the Soviet Union was that people there are so poor that they are forced to share kitchens and cars with strangers."

Now we have walmart.

No matter the ideology, powerful people will want to possess power and wealth and will use whatever systems are in place to get there.
The person who does the eating is the one who gets fat, yes. But if that person is eating low quality, highly processed foods with ingredients that are far more likely to cause metabolic dysfunction, then it's not just an issue of portion size (and yes, eating too much is definitely an issue too).

And I was saying for the _same_ caloric amount, regardless of density. Never mind though, pretty clear you're a troll.
Le Pen promises crackdown on immigration and globalization
Is that really that high bar to say that "nothing can be really compatible"?

It comes down to a simple test that can be easily automated - take a test file (created in MS Office), run the load-from-MS-format operation, run the save-to-MS-format operation, verify that the resulting file is identical to the source file. There might be some differences in metadata (e.g. timestamps) but the document file content should be byte-for-byte identical. If not, then the software isn't MS Office compatible yet.

It does mean that your internal in-memory document structure must be able to hold all of the information that MS Office files contain, and that the conversions between MS Office data structures and your internal data structures cannot be lossy, so your internal structure can't be so conceptually different in any aspect that you can't unambiguously convert to it and back - but that is required for interoperability, so that multiple people can do long term work on the same document with different tools.
Too late to edit, so replying to self.

Looking at that list, I see Go is actually doing pretty well these days. I retract my criticism.

That said, as the page shows, having full editor support these days is getting pretty common.
A lot of tree editors aren't sufficient because he's asking about DAGs. Most tree-editing software only lets you have multiple children per parent, but you also need to allow multiple parents per child.

http://flyinglogic.com/ is on the right track. JVM cross platform and commercial.

Curious how jetbrains MPS could improve on something like that.
Not a C compiler, but you need a C linker, which is just as much hassle. Apparently there is work going on to use LLVM's lld linker, which I guess might support cross-compiling in a sane way but I haven't checked.

And yeah most wrappers provide a static linking option but there's not much consistency which is rather annoying.
Pretty sure the half-life of most things that would be used is already longer than the MTBF of just about every other part a slot machine.
The "traits" feature of Rust's type system provides a lot of nice polymorphism and general ergonomics, but one consequence of its existence is that you see a lot of trait-related noise in the docs and it's maybe emphasized more than it should be by the styling.

If you know Rust, it's pretty easy to cut through it if you know what you're looking for, and sometimes it's actually useful.

"[T]he requisite cause and effect chains"? But don't Eastern philosophies deny cause and effect, as an implication of denying non-contradiction? (For denial of non-contradiction, see Buddhist "four-cornered truth.")
That is fair enough. For older machines I have no idea what the answer is. I just mean designing this securely is not too hard. Hardware RNG is cheap, though. You are right though, these old machines do present a pickle.
I naturally read the title's GB as GiB (making only one SI prefix), but I don't hold anything against other people being more precise readers.
Engines are the hard part, and most of the tech behind building them (particularly in how to make key components like turbine blades) is a closely-guarded trade secret of the companies that know how to do it. That's why this plane uses engines procured from CFM (France), and Mitsubishi's in-development regional jet will have engines from Pratt & Whitney (US). There have also been patent issues around some of the other useful bits (such as blended winglets).

Aviation Industry Corporation of China announced a deal with Antonov to revive An-225 production and get the tooling and everything for building them in China, and a lot of speculation there is that the deal is much more about getting the engine tech than the plane itself; even though it's behind current engine technology, just jumping to where engine technology was in the 1980s would be a big boost for China's aviation industry.

Ask HN: Can I show the Apple logo on my website?
we are working on a deal related website.

I was wondering if we are allowed to show the Apple logo listed, say for example as category indicator for Apple products.

Just to be clear: it would be very clear to the visitors that this is not an Apple website and there would be many more other company logos displayed, with the usual disclaimers etc.

Still, I am not quite sure if it's 100% okay.

Many other deal sites show product photos and the respective company logos, yet I wonder if it's legit to actually do so?
I tried to build a simple Rust "hello world" + database web app the other day (edit: not with Rocket) and after four hours I had nothing to show for it. I had a simple static app in just a few minutes, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to maintain state like a database connection pool and make it available to request handlers in any sane and maintainable way. (There are ways to do it insanely and unmaintainably for sure.) Has anyone else had this experience?
That's why I said in the past that the AGPL was not a huge concern for as long as a commercial entity stands behind RethinkDB. Once that broke away who knows what individual contributors think of what the AGPL means (let alone a judge).
The author's use of "sufficient cause" brought to mind Sciral's Flying logic[0] which does some basic logic and sufficient cause in terms of Goldratt's Theory of Constraints. It's also useful for a number of other logical structures, like trees.
