It's not just technical - it's cultural.

The world is becoming culturally globalized and less diverse.

There were about 50 languages spoken in France 100 years ago.

In Nice, many people used to speak 'Nicoise'. In Nice, the old street signs are bilingual: French and Nicoise.

In Monaco they used to speak 'Monegasque'.

Breton in Brittany.

But most of it has given way to French.

The same thing all over the world.

The 'Starbucksization' of the world is happening quickly.

I was in Tunisia a couple of years ago, my father was there in the 1970's. In 1970, people wore those long white 'robe-like' shirts, i.e. North African garb. Today - nobody under 40 wears that, it's all jeans and t-shirts (cheap Chinese knock-offs of popular brands), crazy haircuts (copying footballers). You could take a young Tunisian out of Tunis and plop him down in NYC and he would not stand out. 40 years ago, they would have stood right out.
So... the client-side code iterates S3 objects matching a certain filter, and then schedules a lambda for each one of those objects. Is that right? Or does the iteration procedure itself is a lambda? Also, when you chain several operators together, where does the chaining happen?

I'd like to understand where different parts of the code are being executed.
I'm not the poster, but I hate it because it's very slow.
Your comment attacked an entire user base, their collective crime being that they don't share your particular (weak) moral values about the distribution of software intended for use on the Linux desktop.

Worst of all, you now insinuate that a problem suffered by one author of one application that is used on the GNU/Linux desktop is a problem for all.

Not everybody can "pay for" (support monetarily) free software. I personally don't see why it is any of your damn business what I do and do not "pay" for. My distribution does not make a huge deal over asking for donations but I do support them both monetarily and otherwise. Frankly, I think the 'other' ways that I support the free software movement are more valuable than whatever money I can chuck at a guy whose program I like.

Plenty of free software developers and maintainers would agree with your line of reasoning, which is part of the beauty of free software. But few of those people would argue that yours is a decent reason to attack their entire user base.
I'm in a similar spot (earning the high end for my title; promotion is feasible, but some politics at play within the org, so I'm gonna end up putting some time in at my current level). I have free time and enjoy writing code, so I pick up little consulting gigs here and there for play money (I'm an avid homebrewer, so money is always well spent)
>> I can film a phone playing a video.

Maybe it's possible to make things somewhat harder.

Maybe the front camera can detect that and make it harder to do, or just covertly capture that and enable some legal process. Or encode a code of the user's phone for that purpose.

Also i remember certain format for images encoded in a certain format that when you try to capture them, you get only part of the pixels and lots of noise. Maybe something like this noise injection could be added to videos ?
For short distances high-speed rail can be a good option, particularly in connecting neighboring cities (LA-SF, etc).

The problems with all these projects are cost: Simple back of envelope calculations show it to be (a) dubious, or (b) possibly criminal (ie. standard taxpayer ripoff to cronies).

$64B - do the quick math on that. Figure a 30 year return on investment earning 4% per year:

$2.2B payback per year + operating cost of what? So somewhere around $7M per day in revenues minimum?

How many riders per day and what is average ticket price to make $7M per day?

I think you will suddenly find there are cheaper, faster, better options.
It is still your choice to live in SF if you do so, and it is not a landlord's or land owners fault that the demand exists, its tech companies.

This is how capitalism is designed to work. Demand is being met by supply, and if supply is insufficient, the price rises until demand has been reduced.
There's a book series called 'America's Best Writing" each year for science, literature, etc. There's also one for travel which is really good.
NYC to Boston is 230 miles, about 3.5 hours by "fast" train. It's about an hour flight. A lot of people still take the train.

If you can get the trains to take you directly into the city center, it can often be a better option.
The Economist magazine not only requires Google Play Services, but also access to your microphone. There is no way to disable that.

I cannot figure out why they would need such intrusive access -- there is no "speak" feature in their app that I'm aware of.
> is there a well-defined ordering?
> a = 0; b = 1; c = a + b;

In pure functional languages, these expressions form a dependency graph and the interpreter or compiler may choose an ordering and may cache intermediate results

We may even represent the program itself as a graph, just like you suggest with ML programs, but this is a general purpose program

Obviously we can't do this in imperative languages.

I think pure functional programming enables this future of thinking about programs as graphs and not as text.
You should be careful about saying things like that on a public forum. It could get both you and your friends on a watch list or worse.
On this topic, I've always wondered how profitable it is to develop a site meant to make ad money. People love to talk about their interesting, cutting edge projects on HN, but no one talks about making websites whose main purpose is ad revenue. The web is littered with clickbait sites and sites that just make money off of Amazon affiliate links. The people that create them usually don't share their revenue, although sites like buzzfeed make a ton of money.

It makes me wonder if it's a good idea (in regards to passive side-income) to make a benevolent site that appeals to the general population or a niche with targeted, unobtrusive ads, rather than trying to make the next amazing service or killer app.
I am not sure what is ironic about this, unless you mistook electronic music for edm?
The problem with touring Europe on $40/day is a fairly typical contract software developer might pay $1800/month or $60/day for family health insurance.

The point being that if you're wealthy enough to have a roof over your head and food and medical care, which a significant fraction of the American population doesn't have, then trying to nickel and dime it when traveling doesn't make any sense as an over-hyper-optimization.

I'm in good financial shape so most Americans can't replicate this but I went to Ireland a couple years ago for a week, it was all the time I could get off work, I dropped oh at least a couple grand. From memory the plane tickets were like $700, so that's a hundred bucks a day even if all we did was panhandle at $0 per day. If I have to work 51 weeks a year, when am I going to spend the money on that prevents me from dropping $500/day instead having to spend $5?
Ask HN: How often do candidates you rate as “hire” or “strong hire” get an offer
Most companies have 1-2 phone screens and 4-5 onsite interviews before giving an offer to a software engineer. When you walk into an interview debrief and say "hire" or "strong hire", how often do those candidates get an offer? Is it 20% of the candidates? or 80%? or 50%? Essentially, how often is there consensus once you say "hire" or "strong hire"

If you are comfortable, you can mention the company too.

Maybe in some cases the high cost of hiring artists capable of abstracting code to several platforms effectively is higher than the cost of writing and maintaining one codebase per platform. See iOS vs Android.
> I know a dev who moonlights as a cycle courier.

Like, on weekends? I can't imagine the demand for bicycle couriers after 5PM is really that large.

I've often seen bicycle couriers in my city and wondered what it would be like to do that part time to get away from the stress of work. Then I see them from the tram on days when it's raining, snowing, windy...
If it would be easy to make $100 per month, then it would be easy to repeat the process 1000 times and become rich.

There's no such things as easy when it comes to making money. You'd have to put time and energy into it.
What interest are you referring to? Honestly we haven't had interest rates worth considering for years (at least 8 years since a savings rate above 1%). Now you get a rounding error level of interest on savings such that finding coins on the street probably doubles your effective interest rate on savings.
Hi, your opinion is what we tried to achieve.

I think sidlls is really pointing out the present/future value of money calcations. It's 100% accurate if you invested in a flat rate, guaranteed interest, investment.
I need the money to develop it fully. If it was usable at this point, I would release it, no doubt. I want something out of the door ASAP, that's why it is focusing on 2D games first. That is feasible but still hard.
This is really not a technology in the traditional sense. The runtime itself is nothing new. The real thing is the UX, that is how programming can be made more efficient to do.

I'm assuming the commenter is referring to interest on savings. Which of course is quite laughable these days.
I used to live halfway between Western Beef and Whole Foods. Whole Foods was crazy expensive with great quality, and Western Beef had awful quality but great prices. (We used to joke "You can't leave Whole Foods without spending $100 no matter how little you try to buy. You can't leave Western Beef spending more than $40 no matter how hard you try."

Now that I'm out West, I've seen the middle take over. Safeway has closed much of the quality gap, with much better prices. The top of the market can't grow forever. There's a reason they call it "Whole Paycheck." It's also an incomplete store. If I need to go to Safeway for shampoo anyways, I might as well buy my organic FancyPantsStuff there too if it's cheaper that Whole Foods.
Not really. At worst it's a hint that asking hypothetical questions about how other gods would answer questions is useful.
> The handbrake rarely worked properly - instead

> spawning a generation of drivers that could easily

> do hill starts deftly balancing the accelerator and brake

That'd be me. When I bought my Mitsubishi Lancer Hatchback with manual transmission in the US, having a working handbrake was a jarring experience. My friends spent a lot of time helping me break my habit of using gas and brake pedals for keeping the car balanced up hill - I can still do it well.

I'd like to note that this feature wasn't exclusively limited to Ambassadors, my dad owned a Maruti 800[1], and a Fiat Padmini[2], neither of those had working handbrakes AND my dad managed to install aftermarket LGP kit in former and a datsun diesel engine in latter. Both modifications made it an interesting driving experience. These days when I'm driving my automatic transmission car on a freeway with no potholes, cows, I do get some flashbacks of driving in pouring rain with water creeping up from floor and being scared out of my wits.

I've no evidence this is being used by The Economist's app - but this is "usually" the reason for this feature:

(not trying to spread FUD, endorse this practice or criticise in anyway, just trying to help the parent comment understand one potential "excuse" for an app "needing" this functionality for a non-obvious use-case.)
step 0: use a password manager.

The OP is trying to save for retirement, when I think he's assuming he will have zero income. Slashing expenses and living frugally is always a good idea. But if you're trying to save up a nest egg, you can't cut your way to savings.
First, a list of keys is generated based on the set context (and modifier functions). "context" returns a Request object, allowing you to call a lambda function (each, forEach, map, reduce, filter). Each lambda function returns a Promise, allowing you to chain them together. They will operate over the same context, in sequence.

Edit: This is not related to aws lambda...sorry for the confusion
This conclusion makes me wonder if they were measuring LaTeX users while they were writing a new type of document for the first time.

My experience has been that once a given type of document has been written and tweaked to your satisfaction in LaTeX, the next time you write that type of document, you can just reuse the previous document as a template and not have to tweak much at all.

The first document does tend to require lots of tweaking, I'll grant that, especially if you're doing anything unusual that isn't covered by an existing LaTeX package.

Another thing that makes a big difference with LaTeX is the tools that are used to write it. If the "expert LaTeX" authors were writing LaTeX completely by hand, with no aid from any specialized tools, then that would explain their many mistakes. The use of advanced tools like the various LaTeX packages for vim and emacs make writing LaTeX documents a lot more streamlined and less error-prone.
I think if you don't have the apps installed they'd probably would assume you were telling the truth. As a white man, you probably don't have much to worry about.

I think you're not far off, and using art as a metaphor, you don't need to paint your house in shapes and colors that follow the golden rule, or write your to-do list in iambic pentameter. You can of course, and it might give you tremendous personal satisfaction, but it doesn't help the output be better.
While I agree with some of your points, millennials are not fleeing suburbia because they can't afford it.

They are moving to urban job centers because that's where the best chance of employment is with a decent range of employers so you aren't locked into one or two who can abuse you because they know you have no other nearby options.

Millennials would rather have a higher cost of living and lowered job risk these days. Then there are other aspects like, not wanting to drive everywhere because cars are so baby boomers, wanting amenities nearby, etc.

They also have different views about kids and are having them later, so don't need the bigger living space just yet.
Never have done that, but some people think letting CCs expire on accounts to get out of contracts is the way to go.

With this it seems this isn't a viable route (anymore?).
Run a monthly tech meetup. Find a sponsor. Make sure you're getting at least $100+ more in sponsorship than your costs (in your case, maybe 2-3 sponsors @ $200 each per month). It's as easy as it looks. If you have connections to potential sponsors, even better.
I use an Android phone without any Google services or a Google account. When I got the phone, it brought up a demand to sign in with a Google account. But there's a "Later" option to bypass that temporarily. Disabling "Google One Time Setup" made that go away.

Mail is the built-in IMAP client. Browsing is with Firefox. Apps come from F-droid. Maps come from ZNavi. It's OK.
On a quick page-down through the code, I think this is not related to AWS-Lambda, it's more 'local lambda' where the map etc is run locally.
That theory doesn't really work for LA because it's so spread out that you are very likely going to need to take a car to your final destination regardless of which mode of transportation you use to get into the city.

Contracting is by far the most efficient way to make money in your spare time as a developer. Make sure it's okay with your employer, but you can generally find plenty of small projects to do (~5-10 hours a week) which will bring in a large amount of extra savings.
Well, I think the point is that most people who don't work in IT would have no clue what 2fa means. Besides, this isn't 2fa, authentication isn't the issue here.
Two thoughts:

- I think I would sell this as a private camera app ("protect you and your partner from prying eyes"), rather than by emphasizing the two-party crypto angle ("protect you from your partner"). Like, make the front-line features be: "it's a camera where each photo album is protected by a secret PIN, and if someone takes your phone but doesn't know the PIN, they can't tell the album exists! Oh, and if you want to you can share the album with someone else who has the app, but you can always delete something from the album and it'll be deleted from the shared version as well."

This way you're selling it as something that's better than the built in camera app, with some bonus safer-sharing features that will just happen to reduce privacy violations in practice, instead of emphasizing the distrust-of-your-partner-solved-by-easily-hacked-crypto thing. When someone asks their partner to install, it's not "because I don't trust you" but "because it's more private for us."

- As a lawyer, I think the legal-prenup-built-into-app approach would be pretty interesting. For example, right now the way US law works, it's much, much easier to get revenge porn taken down if you happen to have been the one holding the camera, than if it was your partner holding the camera. If you were holding the camera you own the copyright, and we have robust legal-technical tools for copyright takedowns, whereas we only have patchy state-based laws around invasion of privacy.

So could we have camera apps that actually reallocate the rights between the photographer and subject? Like imagine a shutter button with a bunch of fine print like, "by pressing this button I express an intent to share authorship of the resulting work with all human subjects portrayed, and agree that consent of all authors must be obtained to authorize any copy."

I'm not an expert and not sure what would be possible, but it would be interesting to talk to legal advocates in the revenge porn area and ask what legal agreements people could have entered beforehand that would have best protected them, and see if any of them could cleanly be engineered into the UX of a private camera app -- or even into Snapchat et al.
The people who do this now will become old and helpless to, and it is our purpose to forget nothing and make sure their final years are thoroughly ruined.
I've seen many articles like this, and they're always wonderful to read, as they bring up so many interesting interactions between the world and mathematics- however, I remember back to struggling through calculus as kind of an antithesis of sorts- I understood how calculus worked at a more "artistic" level, the interaction of graphs, shapes, and how they all collected together, however, to be able to actually do the operations required of me involved a long series of rather troublesome bits of mat that still bother me to this day!

It's very similar to how most anyone can catch a ball, but it takes way more to catch the ball on paper.
I can't speak for other niches, but the travel and personal finance crowd have a large number of such sites. Given that they always appear to start as "one dude's thoughts on travel" and turn into multiple people writing for the site, I think the answer to your question is, "you can make money at it".

From your question, I think you already knowthe reason you don't hear about it on here. An Amazon affiliate powered blog doesn't have to be written in Haskell, use microservices, invent some new AI technique, and Change The World™ with a self-driving basic income. It just makes money with well-understood technologies and business models.

Abstraction is possibly an art and few in the IT industry are good at it.

Sounds like a good reason to avoid it.
To be fair though, it is important that we continue to pressure Microsoft about their telemetry practices as well. Microsoft's business doesn't depend on data collection, and they could very easily return to not mandatorily collecting it, but our voices on the issue have not been loud enough yet. (And actually, as I recently discovered, Microsoft won't allow you to submit feedback about their apps unless telemetry is enabled at the Enhanced or Full levels on their OSes.)

But, I do agree that Google gets naturally positive response and Microsoft gets automatically negative response, even though many of their practices are quite similar.
Conceivably, it's quite possible he had information which is subject to ITAR regulations, including data about sensors, mirrors. At the very least, he probably had sensor vendor specifications which are trade secrets and often covered under NDAs.

My friends spent a lot of time helping me break my habit of using gas and brake pedals for keeping the car balanced up hill - I can still do it well.

You mean people actually use the handbrake for hill starts with a manual? I thought it was just something you do when first learning. I've always found it more difficult to coordinate everything with the handbrake, I can operate all the pedals quick enough anyway. The only time I use the handbrake really is for sliding around :-)
