You said it yourself - the lack of direct equivalents is nothing special. What is amusing however, is how in some languages you'll find a lot of "untranslatables" grouped around a particular concept or theme. Language X may have a curiously large amount of untranslatable words that have to do with describing how one feels, while language Y may have a plethora of quick, informal words and phrases that are very hard to translate.
>Many many many American business already source products from countries with dubious regulations, worker protections etc.

That we as a society tolerate this is something I've wondered about for a long time. If I buy something cheap made by child labor, people just say I'm price savvy. If I use child labor, and not just the kid working for a little pocket money, people see me as a monster. Yet by funding it I support it comparable to engaging directly in the action.

Why? What would give you that idea? "People who travel internationally" is not, to my knowledge, a privileged political class in the US.
It is windy there, but I lived there for 4 years, and you kinda start to love the wind, at least for me. It keeps things interesting :P

You happen to get lots of information about books and movies from sources other than just the title. Trailers, synopses on the back/inside sleeve, location in the bookstore, genre, all are meant to give people an idea of what they are getting into, rather than pure mystery.

Nobody is asking for the hyperbolic titles you gave, they simply would like to know what they are getting into before clicking on some random link.
Eh, I'd argue this varies a lot. In some cases you are more likely to run into issues setting up multiple SIP clients behind a NAT trying to connect to a server out on the public internet than you are to install your own PBX on-premises.

Grandstream, Yealink, etc. all provide pretty easy to administer Asterisk-based PBX appliances that can be paired with a SIP trunk of your choice (shout out to Flowroute here, they're great).

If you're feeling more adventurous sipXecs from sipfoundry is pretty easy to configure relative to the additional complexity it brings over the more simplified alternatives. I went from having 0 real world experience with SIP to managing a small installation for my aunts shop as well as one at home in a couple days.

For proprietary offerings there's of course Skype for Business, etc. and I would argue they aren't terribly hard to configure or maintain either.

Most of the work is just in network configuration once you have multiple sites and you need to ensure QOS going over your MPLS or whatever to ensure your voice packets take priority - that can be more difficult but that's something a competent network admin can help you with.
So it is not Delphi, but I still find it quite fast.

Gradle has a daemon, but I have some doubts if it really keeps scalac hot in memory. Last time I tried Gradle was weirdly slow with scala incremental compilation, while SBT worked like a breeze.

As for compiling 200k LOC - just split it into modules with sane dependencies and then you don't have that problem.

> I think in Scala you can do similar "must recompile all" if you do things like change a global implicit.

But there is a world of a difference between changing a signature of an implicit than changing an implementation of a template. If you change the implementation of an implicit, the only thing that needs recompiling is the class defining the implicit, nothing more.
You're wrong, bandwidth on different interfaces (PC<->HMD, HMD<->panels, ...) is very much one of the hard parts.
Same here in chrome on a big screen. In firefox it just stays black...
Based on the response to Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, and Pokemon Go, I'd say their customers clearly do want to play their games on a smartphone; they just haven't had the opportunity.

Now, if you'd said, "their customers don't mind buying Nintendo hardware to play their games on," that's much harder to deny.
From what I've gathered - the antennae in the Joy-Cons do not get enough power. GameXplain did a video showcasing the issue. The right Joy-Con also has the issue, to a lesser extent.

Nintendo might be able to adjust the gain on the Joy-Con radios, at the expense of battery life. They might have to re-certify with the FCC to do so.

Just wanted to provide a counter point - I also have a 32" 4k display but find the default text size easy on the eyes without scaling. I do sit pretty close to the monitor though, about half an arms length away (elbow to fingertips).

I move my head around a lot more to focus on different parts of the screen. But I like that experience.

My vision isn't great - I'm near sighted with 20/200 vision. I can use the screen comfortably at the default scale with glasses, or with a small bump in text size without them.

I'm using OSX, with Atom & iTerm2 mostly. So that may have different font rendering than Windows.

Hi All,

We're a medical wearables startup building a lifesaving device for patients with high risk of cardiac arrest.

We're on series B and backed by Google Ventures and Third Rock Ventures. We're currently about 40 people and growing quickly this year.

Our office is in San Francisco about 20 minute walk from Caltrain at 200 Kansas Street. All roles are onsite but many people work remotely a day or two a week.
Lending Tree, Inc. | Software Engineer | Charlotte, NC | ONSITE

https://www.lendingtree.com
Email us at: jobs@lendingtree.com

Tech we use: C#, javascript, React, Mongo, SQL Server

Who we are: LendingTree, Inc. empowers consumers with information, tools, advice, products and services for critical transactions and financial decisions in their lives.

Specifically - We're looking for:

Back-end Engineers: You're a crack-shot in your back-end language of choice. Our system matches users with hundreds of possible opportunities in real-time. Needless to say, we're looking for people who care about performance. A lot. Our back-end systems are written in C#, Redis, Mongo, and SQLServer. You might know C# or Java or you might not, but either way you're willing to learn. Regardless, you can impress us in your language of choice. If you're a Senior Engineer - you've worked in server-side code for a few years. You've scaled to thousands or maybe millions of users. If you're a Junior engineer, you love to code and you're good at it. You're smart, you're passionate, and most of all you can't wait to get started. (New grads please apply!)

Front-end Engineers: You know Javascript. You know the ins, the outs and how to make it blazing fast. You care about performance because you know your users are waiting for every line of your code. You've used some popular frameworks, maybe angular or react - but you know one or more cold.

Where we are:

Charlotte, NC: If you're into great weather and a central location (our airport is an American hub) you should check us out. You can pick great urban living (Uptown's 4th ward is the place to be) or get yourself a huge house (at reasonable prices) in the burbs. The standard of living for an engineer doesn't get any better than this.
Given how most 'tech' guys on sites like this think about finance, economics and markets, it's really not surprising. Trading isn't intuitive, there is no math formula that can save you (more like a thousand different formulas that maybe, just maybe can nudge you in one direction or the other), and you can't just throw money at the problem.
Personally? I interact with people I know, not #brands. And I do that by following, not by @'ing out of the blue. Everybody I know does the same. If somebody with a name I recognize follows me, I'm gonna follow them back and @'ing is fine.
The clot started out in my legs, likely formed as a result of a transatlantic trip a few weeks prior. Parts of the clot had previously dislodged and traveled to my lungs, leading to multiple embolisms. When the much larger clot dislodged and traveled through my heart it dropped my heart rate to about 20bpm, which is fairly close to zero.
tptacek, I never suggested that the person submitting the article should have monopoly control of the title. My comment is aimed at dang. I suggest the default question to be answered in the title should be "What part of this article is interesting to the Hacker News crowd?" It's fine if dang re-writes all the titles, but why re-write the title to make it something dull or confusing? We've all seen cases where the original title of a blog post was deemed too strong, and was thus re-written to make it something dull -- the kind of title that a college professor of writing would give a bad grade and suggest "You need a bolder title." We should generally want strong writing, because strong writing is good writing.
British scientists discover 'oldest known' fossils
The claim that "every other industry has moved to FOSS software for their tooling" is demonstrably false.

Has the graphic design industry moved off Photoshop and Illustrator? Has video editing moved off Avid, Premiere, et. al.? Have Windows devs abandoned Visual Studio?
There's also Knightscope, which appears to be based in MV.

Thank you, I agree. If I'm going to use JSON, I might as well use ProtoBuf.

About MD5, I was worried about a case where a service that serves user-submitted files would be exploited by MD5 collisions, leading users to open files that might exploit decoder bugs to execute code. Far-fetched, I know, but the tradeoff didn't seem worth it. I'm not married to that decision, though.
It's important to remember that the metric of success in evolution is not outsmarting other people. It's how much you can spread your genes!

The world is big; you can find a few people doing whichever thing, even if weird. But unlike free software developers, companies are still mostly local (as opposed to remote). That's why I'm guessing you're indulging your intellect with these projects rather than building tools to support commercial software development. To be specific, I'd have a hard time imagining a "difficult problem" for which Forth would be the solution. As for Lisp, I realize Clojure is pretty successful, but my best guess for the reason is the JVM.
Cool product -- especially like the idea of medication reminders in the watch. Is the silver thing on the face of the watch the second electrode for your EKG?
languages where you can convey respect by certain forms of words and its inherent link with social status or superiority are a pain to get the initial social coordination. cause you're judging and gauging consistently on how to play it especially with strangers.
Indeed, Latvian is a somewhat formalized version of Latgalian, so I'm not sure how that can be "truth worth discovery [sic]". If you haven't kept up with news back home, it might be of interest to you that there are MPs in the Parliament that are delivering their swear-in ceremony speeches in Latgalian now. More power to them. The rest of your comment, however, is a non sequitur.
To add to your point, several of those ideas were released before even the NES, by Nintendo!

Their portable Game and Watch series included buttons in the direction pad format and even a few folding duel screen models as early as 1982.

It's not the only problem they have (there are a lot of important functionality missing or limited), but it's not related to "extremely hard to use" point, and it's all doable and isn't done because they have limited resources.
Cool, but.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington#Climate

Not for me.
You've just defined the Internet.
+1. I didn't know where this article was headed for the first half. Partway through I scrolled and saw "On Thursday I had a heart attack" and with that context I could understand the point of the article.
Yes, I edited it for clarity, because by definition cardiac arrest is the sudden stop of blood flow, where MI/AMI/Angina are more gradual. All are commonly called "heart attacks" but are quite different. Thanks for keeping me honest here.
> I think any design for generics that provides the same guarantees as C++ templates (type-safe, resolved at compile-time, value types aren't boxed) is necessarily going to cause long compilation times.

This isn't true of Ada, Modula-3 or Eiffel generics.

As for Rust, yes their compilation story still needs some improvements, but they still need to enable incremental compilation and cargo is yet to be able to handle binary dependencies across projects.

Where I suffered more in C++ compilation times was building the latest versions from either Swift or Rust, LLVM just takes ages to compile.

Thankfully I mostly use C++ as helping hand for Java/.NET.
Not everyone has a Wii U either
