Not deferring action is also discretionary enforcement, it's just a different​ choice on how to apply the same discretion.

The size limits were for object code, not source code. Comments and short command names have no impact on object code size. Ages ago, there was a 32KB object size limit. Now you can use up to about 8MB, which is large enough for pretty much all non-machine generated code. You can, of course, just use multiple routines to avoid the limit.

I have a theory about Western and Japanese nerds. It's not really worked through, so don't get too angry if something is wrong.

In the western, and especially American, stereotypical school environment of the '90s, the bookish nerds were social outcasts and bullied. There was a strong connection between nerdyness, not fitting in and intelligence. The nerds sat at home and learned programming on their own. Of course it turned out intelligence is very useful. The nerds ended up producing a lot of valuable things, such as much of the internet.

In Japan, there wasn't the same too-cool-for-school attitude, and the smart kids did alright socially. Good for them, but it meant they didn't spend their high school and college years programming alone. That eventually hurt the Japanese tech industry, who couldn't just hire self-taught programmers and had to wait for the school system to figure it out or teach their employees to program from scratch.

Back in school, there will always be social outcasts of course, but in Japan, the average "nerd" was no more intelligent than people in general, maybe the opposite. I think they were more artistic than their western counterpart. The Japanese nerd-sphere were making amazing amateur manga (dōjinshi) back when art on the western web was little more than scribbles in Ms Paint. Sadly for them, making manga porn doesn't pay like programming. With no way to support themselves and no social status, the Hikikomori hide from the outside world.

What makes all this interesting for us is that the west appears to follow in Japan's tracks. Today's high school students are much more diligent and better behaved than 20-30 years ago. Meanwhile nerd culture isn't as intellectual any more. Japan has a group of online right-wingers that love to harass opponents. They are called netto-uyoku and are just like the alt-right, except they appeared a decade earlier, and their racism is directed at Koreans and Chinese.

I have no doubt we will see a wave of Hikikomori in the west. They may be different. Maybe they will live alone and survive on delivery food instead of living with their parents.
My actual point is you are a troll engaging in Sea lioning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_lioning
Your comment is a little misleading...Rio Grande and Pioneer park are literally right next to each other. And other than those couple streets in that corner of downtown, you'd be hardpressed to find any other gathering of homeless people.

The Road Home (mentioned in the article) and a Catholic food bank and other homeless services are located in that area, hence the reason for the homeless density in that area.

No, the 3.4 terabytes were composed of hourly incremental backups of the home folder on my Macbook Air and my Hackintosh + some external drives with media content.

I downloaded a full restore of the state of my Macbook Air as of roughly one month ago for testing. I don't have the storage space for a total restore (which would be tens of TBs I guess, since it's an incremental backup solution [unless you could restore all the files instead of all the backups]), but I've tested everything I care about.

I actually just deleted most of the backups from Amazon (just to be nice), since I don't really need to have backups of everything that has ever touched my Downloads folders or web browser cache for example.

> Projection is specifically taking your own mind-state and extrapolating it to someone else's.

I don't think it's clearly that, since there are sources that contradict the narrowness of that view.

"to regard (something within the mind, as a feeling, thought, or attitude) as having some form of reality outside the mind"[1]

Specifically, that method in which I was using it is when someone is applying their preconceptions to someone or something else. Which is fine, everyone does that in the normal course of dealing with other people. I was simply trying to point out that there was no solid evidence that tptacek was going by that reasoning, and putting it out there in that manner was non-constructive. All it did was open the door to a political flamewar about what percentage of people voted for Trump, whether everyone that voted for trump is also a monster, etc.

All of these details sound plausible, but as whole this (the assertion that the profit made by HFT comes primarily at the expense of other market makers) smells wrong. If that assertion were true, it would seem to imply that market-making is less profitable today than in the past. Is that the case? I was under the impression that it was more profitable.
There's just no way salaries can keep up with social changes. Housing prices have doubled in the last 10 years. Salaries are already high and hamburgers expensive in Sweden.

A 19 year old in Sweden would make $14/hour at 7-11. That's around $1900/month after taxes. To double that with progressive taxes you would have to make roughly as much as a fairly well paid software developer here. A rental unit could easily be $1200-1400 and to buy a 330 square feet apartment would cost you around $300k, which is essentially the same as SF. Say you save $500/month then it still takes you more than 7 years just to get the cash contribution. It's not happening.

The chronically homeless ... are people who have been living on the streets for more than a year, or four times in the past three years, and who have a "disabling condition" that might include serious mental illness, an addiction or a physical disability or illness.

You are the expert! (and I linked to one of your posts in the article too)

Replying to the comments:

1) Yes, it doesn't take many votes to reach the front page, but once a post gets established there I expect it to gather more upvotes (then crossing the 40 points threshold). 85% of posts on the front page right now have >30 upvotes now, and I expect them to keep going up.

2) We don't have comment scores, but we do have them ranked. So you could assign them points based on what position they are relative to others, and what position does their parent have. Looking forwards to the experiment :).

3) Yup, titles matter a lot, and unfortunately we don't know what titles were modified after the fact.

4) Thanks for the clarification!

Thinking about 2) - as you comment a lot and you can see your own comment scores, we could train a model that goes from rank/time to score.
Eh? ABA problem was known since a long time ago. Google scholar[1] shows a paper titled "Correction of a Memory Management Method for Lock-Free Data Structures" in 1995, which in turn cites "ABA problem" mentioned in "System/370 Principles of Operation. IBM Corporation, 1983" (!!).

And the distance from medical care means that severe but survivable injuries become severe and fatal injuries out in farm country. Near my grandparents' farm most of the older folks had moved away precisely because of the lack of access to the (due to age) needed medical facilities.

A minor nitpick, but you are probably referring to the amnesty component of the 1986 immigration reform law, which was during the Reagan Administration, not the first Bush Administration.

"Doesn't this make it easier for you to retain people by restricting their options in the future?"

In a way, yes. I am 100% remote and live in a very remote area. I doubt I could get a similar job anywhere in the state, but I did it anyway. Why? First, I love where I work and before moving away and I worked from home long enough to see that it was good. Am I stuck with this company? Yeah, pretty much. Chances of finding remote work are slim, but I accept that. My work/life balance and happiness living where I never thought I could is nearly priceless. It is a trade off, but one that I'm happy with. It may not be for everyone.

When I was younger I'd hop jobs every couple years, get a nice raise, learn something new and move one. Now I just don't care. I found a place I can see my self working at for many more years. When there is a mess in the "office" microwave, I know who to blame and you can't put a price on that.
They don't require authentication because they only accept relay requests from within the university network. Otherwise they'd be an open relay, and those tend to relay spam as soon as spammer spot them, then they get blacklisted by most spam filters. In any case, this doesn't affect my main point: by using those, you still don't send your email yourself.

In my book, "sending your own email" means you operate your own mail server, without using any third party relay (not Gmail's, not your ISP's).

I'm personally halfway there: I have root access to a virtual machine on the cloud (gandi.net), and configured it to relay my email for me. Next step would be to have physical control, but I kinda abandoned that idea when I learned that residential IPs are blacklisted (Hotmail even made it an explicit policy, it won't even appear in the recipient's spam folder).
Being 100 pounds overweight is simply unfathomable to me. How can anyone have such disregard for their health?
The same grammar issue exists in, for example, Dutch. The Oxford comma however, does not exist there.

While technically incorrect, my daily use of English has led me to start using it in Dutch as well. It often clears up sentences which are ambiguous. Interestingly enough most Dutch people find those sentences perfectly normal because they are unaware the Oxford comma exists.
Is "back to front" how Brits say "backwards"?
Pet peeve: The example linked list implementation suffers from not using double-pointers (or pointers-to-pointers).

For example, when the "special case" of adding an element at the head or tail are discussed - those special cases disappear entirely when the search procedure simply returns a pointer to the next field of the preceding element (or a pointer to the root pointer of the linked list, if the new element should be inserted at the head).
I believe it already is a business risk because competitors would still keep doing this to their advantage even if you stop it. It's like smuggling -- once your competitor finds a way of smuggling goods safely, not doing it becomes a business risk, especially if margins are low.
> As an aside, I don't hear many people complaining about the lack of diversity in other careers like plumbing, HVAC, or logging. Why do you think that is?

It's because you're not paying attention. All of those have been mentioned on HN before, and each of them have programmes to increase the diversity of the workforce.

I haven't been that much overweight - but it can creep up on you. And losing weight, and keeping it off, is very tough.
An awesome tool you have created... I typed in a few things that I [normally would never] said about "groups of people" and it came up with almost 100% hatefulness.

"I hate people." 0%

"I hate you." 92%

"I hate the world." 0%

"I hate my job." 0%

"I dislike John Smith." 5%

"I hate John Smith." 0%

"I hate you, John Smith." 92%

"I hate my life." 1%

"I hate my wife." 0%

"You suck." 92%

"Everyone sucks." 16%

"John Smith sucks." 70%

"If I hate everyone, than does that mean I hate myself?" 0%

"I don't like olives." 0%

"I don't like Antarctica." 0%

I see the system is also analyzing swear words and adds a few % points.

It does take into account words like "Jews" (99%) and "Muslims" (95%) and "Catholics" (12%) [why do certain groups get a bigger percentage rating than others?].

But it also fails on other groups of people like "Christians", "Baptists", "Atheists", "Methodists", "Lutherans", "Indians", "Canadians", etc.

So.. there is always room for improvement!

The UI is gorgeous, by the way, and mobile friendly!

I'm sure the system can (and should) learn from user input as people enter more phrases and words into the system? Can you add the capability of adding custom phrases or words to the admin? I didn't see this feature, only the ability to add "criteria" but it doesn't let me actually type anything in.

It would also be nice to see something that allows for "levels" of toleration as well. Something like "Relaxed" "Moderate" or "Strict".

This is a tool I've bookmarked and will be looking into using as I develop more web apps. But I'd like to see a way to add my own phrases and words that I would personally deem offensive.

Thank you for sharing!

Same for Dutch. HOWEVER: why not use it? It often just does not make sense not to use it. If a sentence can be interpreted in an ambiguous way, I personally wouldn't really care.

I'm not aware if he is referring to the Japanese or the Italian phenomena (they have common roots but are very different).

In Italy, I see many friends entrapped in this kind of behaviour, the major causes are:

- The corruption of the bankers that are stealing an increasing quantity of money from the people (regardless if you're poor or rich or if you work or not).

This factor is not only creating a major problem for the younger, but is a concurring cause of concern for the other generations as well: they're committing suicide more and more and more often than ever before.

- The rejection of both the cultural roots of christianity and consumerism, combined with a strict thinking about what is considered an accepted social behaviour and a strict regulation of the market to prevent if from a total collapse.

- An unrestricted and unregulated immigration crisis that provides an ever cheaper quantity of individuals willing to work for a miserable wage.

- Least but not least the total incompetence of the government and the EU, both blocked by a strict thought of political correctness that keeps them from applying needed actions that would properly respond to changes in the local and global, economical and geopolitical landscape.

It is indeed a problem of the culture of the society, and the hikikomori phenomena is only one of the consequences of a society that is forced to change, but is not able to do it properly.
I could be wrong but this sounds a lot like what happened in America during WWII. Many men were off at war and the country was coming out of a depression. As a result a ton of women joined the workforce in fields that were typically dominated by men. I don't have any stats to back this up. It's pretty much just what I was told in history class as a kid. Perhaps someone here knows more about it.
No prob! This is important stuff.

So I did that, and noticed something weird. Here's a list of '30 best'

http://www.topmastersinhealthcare.com/30-most-technologicall...

So, the weird thing? They're all in English-speaking nations, with the exception of one that is in Israel (which has strong medico-political ties with the US and a lot of English speakers anyway). The whole of Europe outside the UK doesn't rate, not even Germany or Sweden.

The problem with these kinds of lists is that they're so Americo-centric to begin with, most probably because they're written by Americans. It's like how the "World Series" in baseball has only a token attempt at including other countries.
Many of the M implementations today (Cache, MiniM, GT.M) support <= and >=. That's a recent development in the case of GT.M (mid 2014).
That looks like a dangerous misrepresentation.

The UI... They can't even make an 'f' shortcut key in the Win10 app (app, not browser) to go fullscreen.

And they force 21:9 movies to be played back inside the 16:9 portion of a 21:9 ultrawide monitor, with massive black borders as a result where there should be none.

I'm seriously unimpressed with Netflix as a company, for what they do with all their resources. Sometimes the MVP just isn't good enough.
Haha, interesting, I didn't know they went through YC at some point.

I'm making a strong bet that people do want to switch to fully-open social clones, because it's hard for me to imagine citizens of 2024 or 2028 conducting an effective political system using today's monolithic social technology. But the current ecosystem sucks for it.
What if there already is an AI in control of Facebook?
