I live in one of California's larger cities. Some of my relatives live in a resort town that is flooded with city people during the season. When driving I sometimes find myself waiting my turn at a tricky intersection, behind a family member who I know is not impaired or anything. Yet they take FOREVER to negotiate the intersection. EVERY thing is slower in that town. And I have relatives in Oregon who live in a university town but hate going to Portland, which is equally slowly paced to me as the university town. Same deal. And come to think of it, they would have family in Portland so there wouldn't necessarily be isolation, just change. I think this confirms the general impression that the young might make the move to the city for a job, but the less young have a bigger adaptation to make.

It would be interesting to see some good polls on this.
I have an instant pot and it's pretty good, but it's not the only cooking device you will ever need. The issue I have with it is that because it's a sealed pressure cooker, everything comes out a bit "boiled" looking/tasting. That's fine for chili or stew, but not so great for chicken.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "using python for micro benchmarks usually doesn't work". To the extent that "microbenchmarking" is useful at all, then sure it works. There are just different considerations from other languages, and it depends on which Python implementation and libraries you're using.

Also, while I'll grant you that using Python implies that convenience, programmer time, and/or development speed is a higher priority than performance, that doesn't at all mean that people who use Python "don't care about performance".
Oh, cool. Carry on then.
So, I'm really sorry about the examples. There are two issues here: first, I'm not good at coming up with compelling examples. Second, I'm not very good at keeping the examples on the web site up to date with the current progress of the code. In fact, I haven't regenerated those examples, like, ever. Try the PDF examples in the repository as they should be better; but at the same time we should still auto-regenerate them periodically, maybe on release. (And convert them for the web site.) Really sorry about this.

Of the issues you've mentioned: I now justify the columns; the overfull box is gone as I tightened up the linebreak tolerance on narrow columns; kerning most definitely happens automatically if the font provides kerning pairs; grid layout now works better.

Any other issues, please file bug reports and I'll fix them!
I want to both upvote and downvote this. Upvote because it's just spectacularly bad, downvote because being reminded of its existence made me throw up in my mouth a little.
I don't think this really enters the political spectrum for most calculations. The media refuses to pay any attention whatsoever to copyright issues because they know the public isn't on board with the law as it stands; the only time they're addressed is to reinforce the belief that the evil copyright infringers are eviscerating your mythical childhood icons. Most people don't know or care who Kim Dotcom is.

They went after Kim Dotcom because they felt he was costing them a lot of money. It's that simple. If anything, his personal habits should've put them off, because it was clear he was a bombastic personality that people like.

Yep, exactly that. A RPi3 with Plex media server hooked up to the router and a bunch of hard drives streaming to the Chromecast in a different room.

Tried the Plex app on a Fire stick but for some reason it didn't work nearly as well.
Of course it's not actually true.

I can't speak for the OP, but what breaks my heart every now and so often is that hate speech against Russians is totally acceptable in the English speaking Internet. It's bad that it happens, that no one seems to bother makes it worse.
I'm a New Zealander and you are sbsolutely correct, unfortunately. By first world standards there is a lot of street violence here and police have zero interest it. If you deliver the case to them gift-wrapped - names, witness statements - they still have zero chance of being given so much as a slap on the wrist if it's their first offense.

If you ride a bicycle without a helmet though they will throw the book at you.

The low corruption rating thing has always puzzled me as well. I suppose it's that behaviour that's usually considered a result of corruption is in-fact documented, transparent, follows the law, or is a matter of policy. Which doesn't change how harmful it is.

I often see Americans here with unrealistic views of this place. Median house prices are 6 times the average household income - in Auckland it's 10 times - and things like double-glazing or insulation are considered luxuries. If you have a burning need to ski and visit a beach in the same day and aren't willing to learn a language other than English then I guess NZ is a good destination for a first world immigrant. But if not, it's totally not worth it. Almost every New Zealander with marketable skills gets out so they can earn more and spend less somewhere else.
Usually something above 90 on the ASVAB, with exceptions for people who score 80s but take a special math and physics test.

ASVAB grading isn't a fixed scoring system. If you score s 90 it means you beat 90% of the people who took the test. Which means that 99 is the max score. The question pool is also massive usually starting at Jr High difficulty questions ramping up to college and down to kindergarten depending on which questions you get right. Testing Math/science/reading for your primary grade with secondary grades for things like mechanics, table reading, and similar which can be used to qualify you for some other jobs or similar.

Nukes are great for employers that know to target them when they get out. The whole program could be considered a trial by fire. Training starts with 3-4 years of college shoved into a year and a half. Actual work is a constant fight between being undermanned, leadership, continuous training/testing, responsibilities above their rank and red tape.

Got out after 6 years as a nuke.
It still isn't. People just like to complain about popular things on HN.
Thank you for sharing your rare perspective.

> My point being that its quite surprising how different experience can be and how important it is to listen to how others experience the world.

That's advice that I would normally accept as good, like a Ben Franklin quote. But coming from you it strikes me as especially valuable, especially in light of current events.
Not unlikely at all. If you really believed that up to now, here's your red pill: Long ago, Iraq bought different weapons. But after the first Gulf War in 1991, the UN Security Council required Iraq to eliminate its WMD. Iraq destroyed it then. The UN inspectors were able to confirm that. Saddam let them search, they have found nothing, but the USG politicians didn't care. They wanted the war.

So what happened then in 2003:

The Independent reports in 2012:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/man-whose-w...

"Defector tells how US officials 'sexed up' his fictions to make the case for 2003 invasion"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvntaL3nxEw

The Guardian reports in 2011: "Curveball" admits to WMD lies that triggered Iraq war"

Other foreign intelligence agencies?

On another side of the ocean, UK and Tony Blair did their part of lies: the "secret services" presented a work of a student, which they copied from the internet(!) as their own "research" and a "proof":

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

"much of the work in the Iraq Dossier had been plagiarised" "The most notable source was an article by then graduate student" copied "verbatim including typographical errors"

And the attack of Iraq on Kuwait, that was the cause of the first Gulf war, was also result of the signaling that the US prepared for their ambassador (not "don't touch Kuwait, we'll attack you then" but "we want peace" which Saddam translated "if you do it fast we won't do any more war afterwards"):

http://foreignpolicy.com/2011/01/06/why-one-u-s-diplomat-did...

""There was no way that April could have done anything more than she did without authority going all the way up to the president of the United States," said White. "Because we don’t make idle threats. If you’re going to threaten, you have to really mean it.""

By the way, the testimony of a "nurse" about "Iraqi killing babies" that was a direct excuse for the first Gulf war? Fake, she was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador in the US:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_(testimony)

"al-Sabah's testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda."

See also my other post here, about Vietnam war.

P.S. As you still don't believe that there were no WMD in Iraq:

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/10/30/world/meast/iraq-weapons-i...

"October 6, 2004 - The final Iraq Survey Group report is released. The report concludes that Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction."

"March 31, 2005 - The Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction reports that the intelligence community was "dead wrong" in its assessments of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capabilities before the U.S. invasion."

The US really did it best to find anything once they were there. But there wasn't anything at all. The West did sell Saddam the weapons earlier, but he also destroyed it all for the West. He simply didn't want war.
Past the two day mark into the fast -- no, I don't feel hungry at all; in fact, food (thinking, smelling, looking it) ranges from "meh" to slight aversion at those times.

The reason I fasted the first time, was that I was a little sick, and lost my appetite; this is common. What is uncommon with me, however, is that when I have no appetite, I don't eat. And despite feeling excellent starting with day 3 or so, appetite only came back after more than three weeks.

Other times, I started on purpose; on those times, the first two days are sometimes a little hard (but not really).

Whether it is good or bad for you - I suggest you try. It is unlikely to be harmful, and it might teach you something you don't know. Or, it might be a waste of time.

I wasn't generally sick or anything, but I did have low B12 before my first fast; And I have perfect B12 since. At the time it was a complete mystery to myself and any doctor I've asked, but since it was discovered that the appendix is a vault of good bacteria, and it is likely that fasting caused to body to release some B12-converting bacteria. YMMV, especially if you have no appendix.

This is cool, and stuff, but what does it accomplish to have just a Twitter account? The hard part, I think, is protecting key datasets. Which now means leaking them. That takes some real OpSec.
One of the most interesting facts in Francis Fukuyama's The Origins of Political Order was that the most primordial form of human social groupings, small bands of hunter gatherers, are organised along egalitarian and democratic lines, without any recognisable leader.

There may be an individual who the other members of the band listen to more than others, but only due to their proven experience and wisdom. And there is no concept of authority, e.g. the ability to enforce a decision upon people against their better judgement.

More complex forms of social organisation and hierarchy are inventions, and relatively recent ones. I suspect that is why they so often display these kinds of dysfunctions. As a species, we haven't yet evolved the skills necessary to behave optimally in situations where we have to engage in constant non-violent negotiations with strangers over issues of power, authority, friendship, employment, sex, etc. Instead, we try to create institutions that enforce an optimum solution, but this produces a circular problem, because these institutions are prey to the same dysfunctions.
Sorry for being weird, but what Blundstone boot model exactly are you refering to? This one? http://www.blundstone.com/shop/black-mens-or-womens-premium-...
Within the first week of his Presidency, a de facto Chinese government press organ threatened military action against the USA.

Bluffers gonna bluff. What're they gonna do, invade Taiwan over a phone call? Maybe start a nuclear war? Trump's complete non-reaction to these goofy empty threats was one of the few unambiguously correct foreign policy moves he's made so far. Call back when you have a real navy.

Legal US residents were detained and turned back at US borders, as a result of an executive order of questionable constitutionality.

Presidents have been trampling on our rights for decades at least. Obama was particularly fond of extrajudicial assassination by drone, and it appears Trump completely agrees, but I haven't seen any protests about that. Happily, this overreach was overruled in a matter of days.

Trump has challenged the legitimacy of US courts and judges, and threatened to remove them from power.

Like FDR did, right? Except he actually did more than, you know, threaten...

Trump has declared all the country's major news agencies as enemies of the people. Maybe you have trouble understanding just how serious an accusation that is.

Is that a direct quote? I do have that trouble, along with anyone else who has observed these "major news agencies" for more than a minute. They only care about eyeballs, and they will say anything to attract those eyeballs. Criticizing them is not an attack on the First Amendment, but rather an exercise of it.

Having been threatened with a 20% import tax and after the scrapping of the TPP, Mexico as one of the US' major trade partners is scrambling to improve its trade relations with China and other countries that are not the US.

Elections have consequences, but those consequences have yet to occur. Threats and scrambles have no short-term effects. In the long term, they might cause some supply chain modifications, but we ain't there yet.

Trump has fired one of his advisors over allegations of treason he called fake. Whatever the truth is, Trump put himself in the wrong in this matter.

I would say that it's not that incompetent men become leaders. Certainly men are over-represented, but I would wager that woman leaders are no more competent on average.

The truth is almost everyone is incompetent and leaders get more scrutiny.
Slack.

- It's slow on every platform I use (iOS, macOS).

- I often don't get notifications at all, on either platform.

- The Mac client crashes too often.

- The Mac client uses more resources than it should.

- Threads are useless.

- Settings are split into too many different views.

- I dislike the design. It's too spaced out (even with the "compact" setting). There's no dark mode. I don't like the icon. Everything is too cutesy.

- I hate the emoji. I don't want more emoji in my life.

Most of all, I hate the hivemind that says it's the only viable chat system, so much so that even open source projects use it over IRC. Hipchat wasn't too much better, but I've not gotten the chance to use it in the past few years because everyone defaults to Slack. I'd love to try Facebook's new work thing, but there's the same problem.

How the copyright industry erodes your civil liberties and human rights
And if you're starting in one of those small towns, not making much money, how long does it take to save up enough to make the move? Not just the cost of the move but the downpayment for that new apartment, getting the basics set up, and parking.

It's even worse if you decide to move to the "big city" after your local options have run dry. Odds are you burned through your savings, added some debt, and are in over your head..

I think you could simplify those a bit, maybe hitting from a higher-level with a link to a more detailed explanation of how Optimail does its thing. I totally get the value in using these terms, but for the landing page I would imagine using simpler language may result in non-technical users being able to grok the benefits of your product a bit better.

C++ on Embedded Systems
The problem I have with Nim is that it misses the simplicity of Go and the extra safety at high performance of Rust. At least I, personally don't see the need for a middle-of-the-road language.

I wish them however the best of luck. Compiling down to C means being able to leverage a lot of mature tools, and if they manage to simplify a lot of the language they may rival Go for projects when you need high performance but desire to retain high productivity regardless of how big and diverse your dev team is.
"all these reported events" - what do you mean? There was one event reported here, and a "guess" that it happens often.

I don't doubt men are often attracted to women, even colleagues. Whether that alone should count as sexist harassment I consider debatable, but in any case it is not the same level as a boss proposing sex on the first work day, with threat of career disadvantages for rebuffing the offer.
Partnering with Telenor to Launch RCS Messaging in Europe and Asia
Logmein Central but thankfully we dumped them a few weeks ago when they tried to raise the price again even though we haven't seen a single new feature in years. Client is buggy, crashes all the time. Client also does this thing when you're searching for a system to conenct to where the window loses focus after every key you press so you have to type one letter at a time, clicking to focus the window in between each. Copy/paste between local system and remote breaks constantly and has literally been doing that since I started using it like 8 years ago. Up until very recently it bugged every single one of our clients to update at least one every other week so they of course ignored the prompt after a while. Since it stopped being free they've raised the price dramatically every time we renew service (again with zero new features). Their support is a joke and tells you to go post on their worthless forums where no one answers you.

For comparison consider:

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-39024445

The BBC provides a substantial account of Fowler's statement and places it in the context of her former employer's disclosure policies regarding diversity and those in the broader context of other tech industry corporations.

The New York Times portrayed Fowler's statement as 'ordinary' sexual aggression that could happen any where there's a bad apple and ignored the management and human resource angles.
It's silly in my opinion to use Warren Buffet as an example of a strategy for growing wealth for the [average] reader.

For one, Buffet started his "investing" career in the early 1950s. The DJIA grew 8x from 1950 to 1965, that's quite a head start with basically no downturns. Not only that, that period was when the largest American brands started and gained market dominance - so great timing there too.

He also buys companies, he doesn't passively invest, something your average person can't do.

The other suggestions are fine, but Rule #4 is really the only one that matters. It should have been #2, behind "get lucky."
Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) - which was rather awesome in what it did but managed to do it in a supremely crappy way.
Wow, almost all of the applications mentioned here are of the multi-user, hosted in your local intranet, "enterprise" variety.

These applications do seem to be particularly problematic - the combination of being customizable, multi-user, with complicated permissioning models, and allowing users to store content in the application without a storage quota or garbage collection mechanism model leads to the same obvious problems time and time again.
That may be related to it shutting down.
