Many of these things I go to university libraries to research. I'm actually walking through downtown LA to get the results of prop 14 in 1952 right now from LA public. That was to repeal article 19 of the California Constitution which excluded and put severe restrictions on Chinese people.

I'm curious if there was an against campaign for its repeal. Most of the online archives I could find referred to it as antiquated and unenforced but I would like to know what the results were and if there's any op eds leading up to it.

Edit: nope, there was an 1880 case that nullified the article. This was a mere formality. There was very little mention of it beyond that. Passed with 78%

This is absolutely not true. I've interviewed at many major companies (Google, Apple, Snapchat, etc.) and they all say at the beginning "Make sure you have working code". They don't necessarily care about syntax errors or spelling errors, but they absolutely want working code.

I don't think this is true at all. The best designers I have worked with wouldn't know an HTML tag from a line of JavaScript. They are two completely separate skills in my opinion. I think a lot of the confusion comes from the ego involved. Designers see developers actually building things and it can create a feeling of inadequacy. They forget that developers have the same feeling of amazement watching them come up with some beautiful new design.

I would much rather work with a fellow specialist at the top of their field, helping them to realize their vision, instead of battling over implementation details with a generalist. Anyone who claims to be equally good at both is self deluded.
"Based on a true story" is one of those film-marketing buzzphrases that means almost nothing. If the initial inspiration for the story is a true story, even if it bears little resemblance to the final product, it is "based on a true story". See also: Subway's "made with 100% chicken"

I don't really have a way to know the Slack channel's value because I don't offer a package without it. But I can say it's been very popular and is still very active a year after launch.

The Slack channel was a last-minute afterthought when I was testing the product originally, but I kept it in and advertised it because so many of my testers thought it was a great idea.
I've been through there before and it makes sense. They want the whole exchange signalized for consistency but that one lane's configuration means it's protected.

That is impressive and I believe you, however I don't think exposure therapy is proven to work in all cases for everybody. Either way, I don't think that we should require everybody to have 5 years of practice in whiteboard interviews before they can get a job. That can't be right.

Perhaps they would like to choose what they spend their time on. Sometimes introverts don't mind being introverted, and don't want to take courses on "how to be the most exciting guy in the room". They like their personality as it is. They might still push themselves to grow, but they choose to grow in the areas that they care about.
It depends what the API is supposed to do of course.
You don't trust Monsanto, someone else only trusts Monsanto, and I don't trust anyone. But trust doesn't matter because the system isn't built on trust. It's built on peer review and repeatability.

Yup. You can see it in the replies to Austen's results. "Your results aren't typical","did you have a following before", etc. I've been in their shoes, so I know now it was all just excuses, not tactical questions.

Genes does not work that way. Unless a specific protein and particular pathway are identified, and the effect of mutated protein is validated, this is mere a speculation.

Yup, there is a neat relationship between Shaiva Tantra and Buddhism. The most radical of the non-dual Shaiva Tantra streams starts to resemble Dzogchen.

There is an interesting mapping that goes like this:

Shaiva tantra: self -> no self -> self

Mahayana Buddhism: no self -> self -> no self

I have not fully explored how this all relate to each other. I can say that it makes more sense to compare Mahayana strain of Buddhism to Shaiva Tantra than Theraveda. This is because Mahayana tends to be more cosmic whereas Theraveda tends to be more humanist. Apparently, Buddhist Tantra does not have its own View; or rather, the Buddhist Tantra View is Mahayana.

The renunciate path, that is, the hermit that goes off into the woods with great digust for worldly things, can work for some people. Monasteries are a kind of compromise with renunciation: the monks are usually supported socially by the community.

Renunciation is usually how Buddhism is understood in the West. David Chapman, of the Meaningness blog, has some great articles arguing why the renunciation path does not work well for Westerners in the modern world, and that Tantra is a much better vehicle. Most Westerners struggle with what it means to have individuality. Americans, in particular, grew up in a culture that rejects collectivism, and as a result, cut away the experiences one needs from collectivism. This tension between individualism and collectivism has not been answered well by pop media (hence the popularity of Oprah). There are a lot of insights in ancient teachings about this subject; updating them to be more accessible for modern Westerners is still an ongoing work that a lot of people are keenly interested in.

Open Terraria Rewrite
Hello!
I'm a creator of open-source Terraria rewrite in Java. Our project grows and already supports modding. Here is a simple example, that allows player switch to Ghost mode using 'g' key:

public void onLoad() {
ModAPI.addKeyBinding(Input.KEY_G, new Callable() {
public void call() {
enabled = !enabled;
ModAPI.getPlayer().setGhostMode(enabled);
}
});
}

Full code: https://github.com/egordorichev/LastTryMods/blob/master/GhostMod/src/org/egordorichev/ghostmod/GhostMod.java
Here is the repository: https://github.com/egordorichev/LastTry

If any one is interested, please, join me!
Thanks, George.

Great to see this view, it meshes with my experience. Making your code testable does terrible things to the design.
Even if 2000/year is the base electricity cost, that still means it's costing 9.20/day in materials and labor for a single light. That still seems very excessive to me.
No. Quantum issues aside, a system at absolute zero would still have energy in the form of its mass. You can think of mass as 'frozen' energy.

Note that in some systems it's possible to have negative temperatures, which are "hotter" than infinite temperatures.

Thermodynamics is cool!
We currently treat each line separately and we can maintain line ordering okay.

We have thought about this before and doing something like: if a line starts with tab or a fixed number of spaces a few times in a row, treat it as 1 line with \n's and store it as such. It would help with alerting and filtering alerts. Just not 100% sure if this will screw up anything.

What convinced me that Kotlin wasn't for me was Andrey Breslav's reasoning why he insisted on sticking to Scala's confusing "Unit" terminology instead of terminology that actually makes sense [0].

> Why we don't call it "Void": because the word "void" means "nothing", and there's another type, Nothing, that means just "no value at all", i.e. the computation did not complete normally (looped forever or threw an exception). We could not afford the clash of meanings.

And then he doubles down on it in the comments:

> "Unit" just stands for "something that has only one value", it's a traditional name, comes from functional languages. I agree that this name is not very intuitive, but we failed to invent a better name.

He managed to convince me that Kotlin's highest priority was pointless academic nitpicking, and that's not what I'm looking for in a language. What I wanted was a solid JVM language that avoids all the unnecessary boilerplate of Java without diving headfirst into a morass of functional programming like Scala. I want something that's 100% practicality and straightforwardness, not something that thinks trying to emulate higher math is something to aspire to. Well, I guess there's still Jython, even if it is stuck on an ancient version of Python... (edit: oh, and Groovy... forgot about it because most people just use it for Gradle scripting)

Agreed. I created a humorous cooking site that quickly became the #1 google result for, "how to sort lentils." It still gets a lot of hits from poor souls who are trying to figure out what that vague "sort the lentils" instruction in their recipe means.

Later, I posted an article that proposed smoking coffee like crack. A Fox News station actually contacted me when they were working on a piece about teens smoking coffee to get high. They quickly dropped the conversation when I pointed out that the site is not a serious news source--as is evidenced by the fact that every posting is absurd.

First of all, the offending light, if you can call it that, is the one where Ziegelstraße opens into Güntzstraße, here: (0).

Also, the only way that unit maintenance cost makes sense is if it is calculated by taking whatever amount they spend on anything traffic-light related in a year and divides it by the number of traffic lights; that infrastructure remains in place even if this light is removed.

So - you don't really save anything except the annual maintenance trip, whose cost is probably measured in the low hundreds (educated guess: two blokes with high-visibility vests, driving a VW Caddy packed to the gunwales with traffic light bulbs to the site, spending ten minutes swapping out the light bulb before proceeding to the next light.)

Also, you'd need to change the law for it to happen.

That being said, I suspect I'd keep you company waiting at that light; when in doubt, I tend to not move into traffic just to see what happens... :)

Granted that I haven't made a fraction of money that you have made, but my self published book from leanpub has sold around 35-40 paid copies. link: https://leanpub.com/antitextbookGo/

I intentionally didn't want to keep the price high, hence the low % of paid purchases, plus the book is FOSS.

That said, I totally agree that self publishing is not held in high regard by most, even on HN I was told that "it's a guide" and not a book and when you mention it on you resume, the interviewer would expect a real book in a real store!

_If_ you hit the right niche, there is a lot of money in self publishing, that's for sure.
It is not surprising, the work on the C++ MM model was based on the Java one. I suspect there is a large overlap on the people working on both.

I can barely get to 25 digits. Nooreen can do 100+ digits. I'm going to add a feature where you can just listen to the digit's of pi, without playing. I want to see if I can memorize pi by remembering the tune. I am considering re-mapping the digits. Currently they are chromatic, I am thinking that mapping to a major, minor or pentatonic scale would make it easier.

You shouldn't be worried about job hopping - you should be worried about your own judgement and conviction. Do you really believe that Uber is a bad place to work? And that the problems its facing cannot (or will not) be remediated? You say your team is not toxic (yet). Do you think it will be?

The same media that's slamming Uber today slammed every successful company... these armchair analysts, who haven't been through 0.01% of the struggles that entrepreneurs go through, predicted that Amazon, Netflix, Tesla, Uber will all go down. Now they're working overtime to paint Uber as a frat house with no ethics.

Every company has issues. Some even as severe as recent Uber events w.r.t harassment. But they fix it. They learn. They move on. Uber is not Travis, or the CTO, or the few people that came to limelight for bad culture. Uber is bigger than all of them.

Don't quit something because the press is saying bad things about it. Don't run away from problems. Fix them. That's what engineers do.
I remember it well -- it was my website.

I truly loved doing it, but the problem (presumably one all the sites of that nature had) was it was incredibly difficult to monetize. Pretty much the only customers willing to advertise over a video of someone being pooped on were porn sites, so our choice was to go all-in on porn, or have a very, very expensive hobby (monthly bandwidth bill was in the $30k-40k range). We eventually sold it to one of said porn companies, and they "solved" the monetization problem by putting an age verification system (AVS in porn-speak) on the landing page, which was ultimately just a way to bang people's credit cards.

As for resurrection, my old partner recently spoke to the current owner of the domain about re-launching it, but he wasn't interested. I hear he's a big VC muckity-muck now though, so, "S", if you're reading this, let's do a deal. The people demand to be horrified.

If they have limited terms, then they can't play long-term political games and that seems like it should simplify the system.

Yes. I write lots of unit tests, but they are
mostly part of the coding process: I find they
are superior to the manual testing I would have
to do otherwise every time I add new code.

But as long term protections against regressions, such
tests are less valuable than more coarse-grained
integration tests.
