Literally everything is fake news. It had a firm meaning for all of about 12 hours last year.

Seriously, any descriptivist take on the term would have to acknowledge incredibly broad usage.
Obviously patronizing these stores makes sense to their customers. The true criticism has always been about the conditions that lead to them making sense. This "revelation" indicates more about the professor's amazement at toning down her own paternalism than any economic discovery!
I like this quote:

> Vim is a small language for editing text that ships with a small user interface.

Pardon my ignorance, but are the two separable? Could someone write a GUI interface that uses the vim text editing language underneath? I know of gvim, but this seems to be just vim with a menu bar.
Aren't switch-case statements widely accepted in C++

No. Some people say they're a sign of a poorly architected object model.
Can confirm. Brains are very fatty, so the end result is, "Hmmm... this omelet is very metallic, and I say... my teeth are coated with brains."

Not. Fun.

Yea, but iOS developers make twice as much as Android developers. Lots of customers love the walled garden and those customers spend a lot more on apps than Android customers do (Android installed base is multiples of iOS, yet revenues are double on iOS).

And one of the reason the bigger spending customers are with Apple is the benefits of the walled garden. It's more secure, and it's updated far faster (or at all). For developers it's a better environment to develop for, consistent screen sizes and hardware features and I know I can write my latest app for the latest iOS and within months of it's release the vast majority of revenue producing customers will be on it. That's a big reason why better apps are written on iOS first, it's easier.
There's also a research paradigm about mathematically derived programs.
Interesting, I have been running an OVH vps for over a year without that. Until I lost my 2 factor auth backup keys and needed them to disable it. Which seems reasonable.
Thanks, fixed the link.

We have done some marketing via LinkedIn ad's, facebook ad's, even paying for influencial foodies, who have large followings on instagram to try a complimentary meal/booking using fastvenues.com and reviewing it, and even with a really positive review, not one real conversion. What's wrong with the product? Why or why wouldn't you use Fastvenues.com to book/reserve a unique/discounted meal at a great local restaurant?

is the market still apps? I don't work on mobile, so I guess I wouldn't know, but my feeling was that people install way fewer apps than they used to
You can offer counterpoints in the voting booth. The Internet is taboo.
People are so worried about "which bathroom" precisely BECAUSE there's climate change and resource depletion going on. It's a giant collective act of procrastination, orchestrated by an elite whose profits depend on keeping that procrastination going as long as possible. The worse it gets, expect all the more ferocious distraction attempts and non-issues presented as issues for you to deal with and get excited about. (See flag burning, gay marriage, gun control... Anything to prevent a realistic consensus.)
Sounds like there's a lot more to this that has been omitted. Bootstrapped cofounders and one fires the other without warning? And without reason?
WordPress with a caching layer is basically that.
You know Apple will sell a ton of iOS devices to people who have enough money to actually buy apps, which isn't yet true of Android.

There are always tradeoffs but for me, I feel like lack of autocomplete encourages people to use shorter less descriptive names for identifiers.

I am a believer in using as descriptive identifiers as possible to make the semantics of your code as clear as possible. If this gives rise to 5-word+ identifiers, so be it, providing it is done tastefully (and not for verbosity's sake).

As typing 10+ characters per function call/variable call can get tiring, lack of autocomplete can leads incentivizes the use of shorter names which runs counter to this philosophy, and leads to code being harder to read. (IMHO)
I don't, but the primary reasons to use a throwaway account are if you want to discuss something deeply personal without giving yourself away, or hide your identity so you can BS or insult people. It's easy enough to be anonymous on HN and still have a persistent identity; if someone resorts to burner accounts others are going to assume it's for trolling.
I develop in Xcode every day, and it's usually the least of my problems. Everything this letter asked for is an I don't care for me.
Why stop there? Your summary boils down to "just exist".

The linked article is incredibly detailed, much more so than 90%+ of articles that pass through HN. It talks about nuances, e.g. that copy-paste mistakes more than likely happen on the last line as opposed to any other line. Claiming it can be replaced with a two word phrase is wildly incorrect.
You'd expect that the impending new tax pulled a bunch of otherwise 2016 purchases into 2015, but still... yikes!

I would also add that even in modern C++ it's possible to have the compiler check your usage of page and screen widths by creating separate types, ScreenWidth and PageWidth. You would then generate compiler errors on assignment, or provide single-argument constructors for implicit conversion.

It's just that nobody ever actually does that in C++.
Here's a list of links from the mods on politics on HN:

First, honest question: is there some secret lease that needs to be signed before posting on HN that requires that every real-world phenomenon be framed using 1337 h4x0r terminology? For some reason, it really rubs me the wrong way, people trying to shoebox anything and everything into a faux-technological perspective.

Also, the reason Vinyls still sell is that there is a sense of occassion about taking a record out of it's cover, carefully placing the needle on it, sitting back to focus on the music and nothing else. Same reason the physical joy of playing a piano will always have a place despite being able to get nearly the same sounds out of a computer. I'd hate to watch two self driving cars competing against each other to see which has the best code. That sounds tedious as all hell. I'm not sure about the others, but fuck yeah I categorically do NOT want an AI cracking jokes at a party.

Somethings are better when they are lower tech.
That's what you do. If you're on GCP or AWS, you typically mount a network volume (Persistent Disk on GCP, EBS on AWS).

Kubernetes ensures that the container always has this volume mounted, and of course only one container at a time can claim the volume for itself.

What you should avoid doing is to use a host mount and pin a pod to run on a specific node, because then that pod can only run on that node, and you have no way of migrating without manually moving the mount and unpinning the pod. With Kubernetes, you really want to avoid thinking about nodes at all. State follows pods around; pods don't follow state around.
Especially given the length as well. It's a small, short list of issues that users of XCode/Apple Developer tools have. Why is this #1 on the front page?

It sounds like you've put the effort into testing the idea.

Those 10 restaurants could show you numbers for how influential a discount on a meal is. If we are trying to save we avoid restaurants, maybe a small discount after you've committed to going out isn't very important or not a factor at all.
I don't think it's a male fantasy. I also don't think it's biological. Just look at how women and men are socialized from a young age.

Example: up until recently, many young girls in the west grew up on Disney princesses. Rewatch the movies, and pay attention to the female protagonists in those movies being active vs passive agents. Most are passive -- they're simply dealt a series of events (which generally happen only because they are beautiful or otherwise intrinsically valuable, not because of how they act).

Being exposed to those narratives from a very young age surely has an effect on identity, personality formation, etc.
I would agree with that goal and extend with a different anecdote that the articles "project knowledge" section should include documenting the weird requirements and unusual interfaces to other projects.

Many times I've run into five year old program logic, pondered why in the world anyone (me) would had done something that weird, and realized the project or tool requiring that weirdness was cancelled three years ago long enough that I've forgotten about it.

Its not as simple sometimes as just baking into the single function that talks to the API, sometimes it gets baked into weird corners of the application logic.
Customers aren't switching to Android. Apple is making almost all the profits in the mobile space and it's developers are making much more than android developers.

Those are the important things, quibbling about some features in the development system is silly, esp. when Apple has poured tons of resources into Swift and done it really well.
invaluable, but they won't kick me more money. I asked.
"The authors created their own framework..."

I cannot say this was an issue here, but I can say that some of the worst messes I have seen have followed from this decision. In all such cases in my experience, it was not a technically justifiable decision, and I strongly suspect it was driven by developer ego and overconfidence.

The very worst included a roll-your-own language.
The OP mentioned Swift 2, not Swift 2.2 - even that upgrade can be non-trivial (2->2.2).
There are plenty of Vim emulator plugins for "GUI editors" like Atom (or even the Visual Studio family, as a comment in this thread mentions) that do just that!
This is one of the only criticisms of Xcode I'd agree with. And it's a minor issue for me.
When was the last time you saw a children's TV show endorse violence towards women? It was only a few month ago, in a hotel exercise room, that I saw a non-self-defense kick-to-the-balls presented in a positive light (giggles from the protagonists, affirming + explictly gendered statement from the narrator). I was upset, but not shocked, because I've seen it before.

Hopefully it's just part of the natural swing towards over-correction and it'll all settle out in another few decades, but a corresponding overcorrection in corporate policy could get ugly. Psychopaths do well enough in the corporate environment as it is.

Oh come, that's the same sort of argument people were trotting out 25 years ago. Could we at least address the significant changes that have taken place in energy production and so on over that period? The power balance of the world is in flux right now, please stop trying to handwave the problem away, it's insulting to everyone who has invested time in understanding the upsides and downsides of alternative energy sources, the costs and benefits of their deployment, and so on.

Yet, oddly, not a single reference to a radar report that people can try to support.

Is this a manifesto, or an attempt to get a bunch of Apple developers to put their email addresses on a list as part of someone's marketing campaign for iOS-focused dev tools?

I think hrodriguez meant that it was the shock of going from a ~3 year low-sugar diet to a 40-tablespoon-per-day diet that was responsible for the sudden influx of negative effects, one that might not have been seen if he gradually eased into the high sugar diet.
This reactor was 1/50th the scale of a typical power reactor. The radiation, thermal-hydraulic, and chemical environment of a full-scale reactor is different. Different stress corrosion interactions, severe oscillating stresses due to thermal-hydraulic fluctuations at assembly outlets... The operational record of such reactors hardly supports them as foolproof or economical versus the best modern water reactors.
Yes, even my children can understand this.
Sadly, most do it poorly. There's a lot more to Vim than 'hjklia'.
I switched to Swift with version 1.0, it was terrible. Version 1.2 was when I was finally able to ship product. Since then it's just gotten better and better and the changes per version are a minor inconvenience. Usually am able to update a project in less than an hour.
Are you aware that most music apps like Spotify allow you to pre-load music? You can download thousands of tunes in an hour or so, from any wifi hotspot. No advertisements either. Then you play it back in your car. Weeks of music, if you want.

FM radio is usually heavily handicapped by advertisements on-air. THAT is one major reason that is driving "Internet-enabled" people away. And they never come back.
I'm not sure the best way to measure and compare, but it sure seems like Apple focuses a lot more on a narrow set of products than either Microsoft or Google.

Apple might be vertically integrated to a higher degree than Microsoft and Google, but Apple doesn't have as big of product diversity.
True, though neither word in that name is used to limit topic or language.

I have often wondered if it would be a productive exercise to write a static compiler for a dynamic language which also supported optional static typing.

I can often estimate what HN's reaction will be to my comments and whether or not I get downvoted. However, I think it is of utmost importance not to censor myself and also spell out unpopular things that I am convinced of, even if it means that I am bleeding karma. It means I have challenged someone's opinion and they did not like it. That actually means that my message achieved its goal.
"For example, if you are in the 33% tax bracket, the actual cost of a $100 donation is only $67 ($100 less the $33 tax savings). As your income tax bracket increases, the real cost of your charitable gift decreases, making contributions more attractive for those in higher brackets. The actual cost to a person in the lowest bracket, 15%, for a $100 contribution is $85. For a person in the highest bracket, 35%, the actual cost is only $65. Not only can the wealthy afford to give more, but they receive a larger reward for giving."
This trope of having to replace EV batteries every 5 years is so prevalent, and so wrong, that I'm beginning to be suspicious as to its use.

Vim comes with autocomplete (omnicomplete) built in. It's just bound to a rather nasty key combination, and works mostly with text on the page and values in the tags files.

This isn't always enough for folks, who fall back to YCM or others.

Don't underestimate how hard it is to fight against an adversary with money.

"Green" parties and organizations are infiltrated by double-game lobbyists and influencers from all fronts trying to save their own industry's interests.

What's the easiest way to defeat an adversary? Play it against itself. The same way governments will want to make rebellious opposition groups into violent terrorists, it makes all the sense in the world to make ecologists into irrational, counter-productive idealists.

What kind of powerful (=wealthy) organization benefits short to mid-term from reducing pollution? I fail to see any. The issue of ecology is IMO the hardest fight humanity has had to fight.
Yes, I apologize, my statement refers to 90% of cut Amazon. Not that 90% of it is cut for USA.

As for the beef and soy exports it's not enough to check just the exports number. The most important number is beef consumption. Per capita the US has a pretty small consumption. But compared to EU or China, the US is leading, extremely in absolute amounts.

FWIW, he says to use static analyser tools to analyze code. We do that already, and extensively. Seems a bit provocative...
That video would be much more compelling to me if it had narration, and explained why the basic concept of their product is better (for at least some cases) than the built-in code review features on GitHub and similar services. Or maybe their target audience is teams that aren't doing any code review, in which case they ought to explain how it would work for them.
You pay for child care, health care and universities, whether through taxes or your pocketbook. Paying through your pocket book just means you have freedom of choice.
what about if you reverse the incentives...

Product Managers get bonuses related inversely to hours of downtime (caused by bugs).

Engineers get bonuses related to number of features pushed out.

In theory, this would encourage engineers to ship as fast as possible whilst encouraging PMs to ensure quality over quantity wrt feature scope/volume. This way you'd have engineers begging to add features and PMs begging for tests.

What am I missing - how can this be gamed?
No it's not.

CoC's try to cover from sexual harassment(which is covered by law) to general douchebaggery(which is subjective).

In the first case it is obviously redundant and in the 2nd it is impossible, hence we end up doing what we would do anyway, which is to shun the individual. If there are obvious cases were something should be covered by law, just fix the laws(which is what I say in the link you pasted). It's all been discussed in this thread, so it's shame that you have me repeat them here :(

I don't feel you have the intention for an honest conversation, as you don't seem to respond to anything I provided as arguments.

Of course, but you don't share those papers with us :) I like those kinds of comments a lot. In a good editor it's so easy to just scan a lot of code and understand what's what.

it's going to depend on your tax bracket, but deductions just lower the amount you are taxed on (assuming you itemize, if you just take the standard deduction they don't help at all). If your tax rate were 25% and you itemize, then a $100 donation should knock about 25 off your bill if I understand correctly.
