I sincerely hope that today (and obviously the day it actually happens) isn't something that I look back on with sadness in the future. I live in the UK, and am really saddened by the way that politics is 'progressing' - in fact, regressing to a time where nationalism seems to be the voice, and one which I think will inevitably lead to conflict. Combined with the Trump situation in the USA, I am extremely pessimistic about the future - more so of my four step children, who are all going to reap the adult world that people such as Johnson, Gove and Farage have sewn.
Measure the "much higher" before deciding. Especially after you apply solutions to reduce the memory and disk cost.

I'd say the "much higher" is nowadays a relic of the past.
A few anecdotes doesn't count as evidence. I voted for Remain, and hope very much that the Brexit process collapses and we end up staying in the EU. But I also don't want to spend the next 2 years being drip-fed poor quality articles about how we're going to hell in a handbasket.

Why are ads unethical? I can see the argument on services that you are forced to use (government websites) but not on services you have chosen to visit based on free will.
Back around 2000, I wrote a web proxy server that did this. It was a proxy server mainly because browser extensions were not a thing back then. I never released it because I never solved some performance issues (it was using a very naive implementation in a lot of ways). I did get a lot of use out of it for about a year, though.

I'm sure there are security/privacy trade-offs. Storage is not such a big thing. I found that index size leveled off somewhat after a point. It probably would use enough storage to make it unreasonable for mobile browsers.

The Wikipedia page is a tremendously short summary, and yes, doesn't go into depth about the implications of duverger's law.

I strongly suggest digging into the literature around it, which does bear out the thesis I states above.

If both parties suck equally and no party is more closely aligned to your preferences than another, I suggest you enter politics yourself. It's just made up of people not too different from yourself.
I'm a big believer in not having assumptions and testing things with actual experiments. This is one experiment I'd rather not be participating in, though.

It's difficult to see very much positive about this move; certainly there will be some benefits, but I expect greatly outweighed by the negatives (which will include higher prices, lower employment and probably lower standards for UK workers - the EU has consistently been the only organisation willing to drag us out of the dark ages).
Actually, the people mentioned in the article are mainly going east or south.

My anecdata: I don't read much on internet anymore aside from what's linked on HN and what I research for a specific topic. Plus a bit of news at CNN and a bit of Producthunt.

I read about 15 articles on average and all comments to about 10 of them and scan some comments for the rest. My reading is batched around morning, lunch, and evening. I download few articles to Pocket for offline readin. During subway commute.
Thanks for your project.

The sharing aspect is the interesting bit. Having a "github for sound samples", with the ability track forks and have commit history could be wonderful.

Implementing a professional DAW or synth takes a staggering amount of work. The toy synth might confuse users about the purpose of sawtooth. (Personally, I would remove it)

I'm British but live in the EU. I've been watching this from the outside and it makes me so very sad and despondent. Forgetting any inconvenience on my part (of which there are very few -I likely have access to an EU passport.).

It's fucking stupid. No ifs, no buts, no apologies and respecting of alternate opinions. Just fucking stupid. Every single reason for leaving (other than "leave so the EU can get on without UK obstructions) has been debunked. Poeple protest voted, they voted with feelings instead of sense. They ignored people who knew what they were talking about and went with idiotic soundbites. I don't know what the actual fuck is going through the minds of our government, but it's not sense.

Hell, it's going ahead. We don't have the manpower, experience or knowledge to replace things that have been done with the EU. The boring administration. Standards, procedures... All the little details that mean the difference between something that works and something that doesn't.

I trust the EU oversight much further than the bunch of fools in the UK. Too entwined with their own interests. Who has bought them, why are they so scared of newspapers, why they seem utter cowards... We have some wonderful examples of how education and arrogance can seem like intelligence.

Aaaand yup, this is a rant now. I shall carry on, because now I'm finding it a little cathartic.

I'm not left wing, not right. I earn well above the average. I'm a pragmatist and I firmly believe that having strong and successful neighbours is good. I do not want a neighbour that throws the metaphorical shite over the fence. There are poorer countries in the EU. Movement is good between countries and those that people complain about will not bother taking the leap when their home country is made attractive enough not to.

Nothing is perfect. The EU is far from it, because it involves people... But they move slowly in a direction of interest to its citizens. Not just in the interest of the people of those governments.

It's been pissed away by liars and imbeciles now. I cannot unite behind it in the same way I would try to stop idiots from walking off a cliff, rather than joining them.

Possibly a little harsh. Probably not though.
I read the comments before I read the articles, if at al
Are British HN'ers taking any mitigating steps due to this whole situation?

I'm currently in the process of incorporating in the Netherlands, and it turns out setting up a Ltd is a lot more expensive over there than in the UK. I just don't feel that the UK will make good use of my tax receipts any more, so I'm almost obligated to take my work elsewhere.

> This is definitely true, but only as long as docker (or $container_runtime) remains lightweight enough that you can still use those independent parts on their own, compatibly with docker.

As someone who has exclusively used LXC containers (which Docker is/was initially built on), none of this applies to me.

Your issue is with Docker, the implementation, not containers as a concept.

Sometimes I feel HN needs to get its head out of Dockers butt and see that there's a world out here too. How many people here even know there are other container types at all? I'm often inclined to think none.

No really. Just once try real, raw containers without all that docker wrapping bloat. How everything works and is tied together is just clear as day and obvious at once. It's all simple and super refreshing.

I do a bit of online video production (for social media marketing and for online courses) and I have to open up audacity every once in a while. I don't like the audacity user experience. Here's my feature request list

1) Make it easy to switch audio formats ([mp3|wav|au|etc]->[mp3|wav|au|etc])

2) One button to make it louder, one button to make it quieter

3) A good cut and paste interface with the ability to zoom in and out and see the spectrogram so one may be sure that one starts cutting at the audio part (if there is white noise)

4) Abilities to selectively remove deep or high voices and remove background noise
It's rather notable that the UK has the option of aborting this process during the 2 years. (According to an EU official who's name I forget), it's incredibly unlikely that anyone will go back on this though. The uncertainty of having this option available is bad for the UK though. Markets hate uncertainty.
Great news. Of the four happiest countries in the world, three are European countries outside the EU. Autonomy is crucial to happiness.
I'm formally getting EU citizenship (which I'm lucky enough to be entitled to as a citizen of Ireland). There is going to be increased demand for this, particularly as people realise that there is going to be a hard border (which seems inevitable, given the statements on freedom of movement). I won't actually move, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of personal and small businesses move in exactly the way you're suggesting.
There is no difference. The rule, passed along party lines by democrats in the FCC, heavily favored companies like Google and Facebook who are constantly using your data.

Those who prefer a smaller government and objected the the FCC'c huge over reach that this rule was part of.
I would like to believe you are correct but being the cynical Eastern European that I am, and having a big experience from watching our corrupt governments get away with everything, here's what I think will happen instead:

(1) Companies will become better at deceiving their employees they are not evil, not eliminating small competition, and that they care about privacy and diversity. Many younger devs are as naive as cocker spaniel pups and will easily buy any corporate propaganda.

(2) How will there be an exodus to smaller companies when the giants do their very best to kill competition? Google is known for buying an emerging company in a certain area then quietly shut it down but still keep patents and knowledge for the future, being one prominent example.

(3) People become more and more indifferent every day, I feel, even on HN. I know I am in that group as well. The people who want the internet to be a controlled environment are, as of today, much too powerful and very, VERY persistent. Plus it's not like you can just sue; for a long time now it's not about justice, it's about who has the deeper pockets for lawyers. And that's not you and me.

IMO we're headed for a pretty classic cyberpunk future. I kind of hoped that I will die before that but at the rate things are going... It's pretty scary.

The Hunger Hypothesis: Poor people behave as they do because of hunger
Hey bud, I dunno who pissed in your cornflakes, but there are plenty of these kinds of projects out there already .. and they're not all so dire as you proclaim. This is something that has been happening, incidentally, for over 20 years and multiple independent variations, so .. its neither 'a waste of time' nor is it fantasy in any way. These machines are out there, and they work very well.

The Open Pandora is a great little games machine, has decent 3D capabilities, and its successor - the Dragonbox Pyra - is going to be even more superb. Calm down a little, and take a look:

(I'm a very content owner of two Open Pandora devices.. fantastic little machines, and I hope we see more like them in the years to come.)
He is describing some of what he does as a celebrity in general terms and some of what you can do do. None of that is for a specific incident.

Furthermore if you are going to call what he describes sexual assault then all men who lean in on a women and start kissing them are committing sexual assault. Any guy who tries to get his hand up under a womans shirt is committing sexual assault.

You forgot the part of "they let you do it". Thats not sexual assault.

Agreed. I think we're saying the same thing.

I'm thinking that perhaps there are some core life skills that can be taught so that people are able to positively handle more external stress and provide themselves the correct amount of internal stress.

At least I hope so. It would be depressing to contemplate a large section of humanity unable to self-actualize without chemical dependency or other problems. Not only is that bad for those folks, it brings up the insane question of whether or not such a condition is a disability.
Does it?

I thought Article 50 was very much a 'hand grenade', once the pin is out there's no going back. If the two years run out without an agreement being reached, doesn't the UK just get chucked out and revert to WTO rules?

There is a lot for you to catch up on. These are open machines, made by people who are quite content with contributing a great deal to the Open Source ethos you seem to think has no place in this market ..
It doesn't have the option per se: it can ask to abort it, and it can do so with the agreement of the 27. Also, the 27 can agree to a date far off in the future (it doesn't have to be two years).

It seems staggeringly unlikely that they would allow us to abort without a major change in relationship, though, and politically things would need to get extremely difficult for the UK for that to become palatable. All the exceptions and discounts we get right now would absolutely cease.
I'm not British but I live in the UK - I have based my entire life here, family, house, job, car, everything - and a year ago, I would have never considered leaving, this is my home. But right now, I'm weighting my options. I'm a huge believer in the European Union, so why would I want to live in a country that's not in it? And increasingly, I think the answer is - I wouldn't. So although I haven't started packing yet, if, for example, it turns out I have to get a visa to stay in the country that I consider my home, then I will most likely pack everything and leave to a different EU country that is more welcoming.
Foolish and premature.

The UK government has not expressed any intention to restrict skilled immigration in industries facing skills shortages.

It is totally unrestricted immigration of low-skilled individuals that the government (and it's fair to say the British population) are opposed to.

I vote 3rd-party in every contest I can. At this point, I'd vote for a puppy dog, if it wasn't a D or an R. It makes my wife, family, and friends mad, but I will not waste my vote on the status quo. I'm voting to send a signal that I want other options.

I believe that if we can get to the point of just having a 3rd party on the platform for a presidential debate, we can open the door to other parties having a non-negligible effect on the election process. Of course, that's the Election Commision's fear as well: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/09...

EU Citizen here, living in the UK or "wherever I may roam".

I have my Ltd in the UK. I am sticking to the UK for the time being, and will keep a close eye at:

1) Tax scheme/calculations for dividends.

2) Ability to transfer money in & out and at what cost (in the extreme case of Capital Controls or limiting transfers abroad).

3) Exchange Rate of GBP against EUR, USD, and a couple more so I make sure that my payments are not losing 10% on the get-go.

All the above are extreme situations. If I feel that my income/finances are threatened, then I will act, otherwise I will continue to support UK economy as UK has been "supporting" me (not really), these years.
Most of the world is outside of the EU. I don't think this correlation can stand.

> The only two languages I know that offer data-race-free multi-threading are Pony[2] and Rust.

I should have added «with shared memory», otherwise any language that purely rely on message-passing is also free from data-races (even JavaScript is), but it lacks this important feature.
> also that your program and your IDE are basically indistinguishable

Lisp provides that,too. But you can also deliver programs with the IDE and much of the development tools removed.

Examples for integrated IDEs:

Allegro CL on Windows/Unix+Gtk, Clozure CL (free) on Macs, LispWorks on Windows/Macs/Unix+GTK/Unix+Motif. There the IDE and the user code runs in one Lisp. Other examples: Lisp Machines, CMUCL on X11, ... there is also the McCLIM project where some ideas from the Symbolics GUI are used.

There are also countless other implementations from the past, which are now mostly forgotten, which had an integrated IDE (Golden Common Lisp for Windows, Corman Lisp for Windows, Macintosh Common Lisp, Medley, Open Genera for X11...),

Unpopular opinion, but the economy isn't everything. I'd much rather live somewhere with a smaller economy where there's actually a mechanism to remove those in power.
Corbyn for Labour Party: "There are Conservatives who want to use Brexit to turn this country into a low-wage tax haven." Well, full automation = no wages at all, ehehe. I am not sure how it is going to end and it is not my strict business anyway but there is a chance, not a slim chance imho, we may well see some sort of sci-fi dystopian UK emerging from this process. Interesting times ahead. Disclaimer: spent five years in the UK on the cusp of the 2007-8 financial crash and could see this was going to happen somehow someday, all starting from there and from perverse globalisation enhancing inequalities imho.
A wonderful example of an argument that isn't even wrong. For reference, see cherry-picking, confirmation bias, cum hoc ergo propter hoc.
But that suggests that the UK itself lacks democracy. If the UK doesn't change because of this, how will staying in or leaving the EU change that?
Falklands happened "because of the EU"? Thats news to me. I thought it happened because the UK needs the oil reserves to prop up its broken economy.

Says "leaked document"
Ask HN: Offer negotiation with top Silicon Valley companies?
Hi

I was lucky enough to pass the standard software engineer interview with 3 of the top SV tech companies (think Google, Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Amazon). I have about 7 years of experience (some titles held: Software Engineer, Tech Lead, Engineering Manager), and the various recruiters handling my case said the feedback from the various interviewers was generally on the strong/very strong side.

Problem is: how much can I negotiate?

In my current company (medium stage startup) my total cash comp is about $200k and I have unvested equity in the form of stock options that are valued on paper at $~1M (based on the price the investors paid for the last round) and, while the equity is obviously illiquid, the company still has a very considerable growth potential and the business is going well. I already vested a decent amount (not included in my calculation above), so if I leave I would capture to some degree the upside of a liquidity event, should that ever come. I am interested in leaving my current position purely for new technical challenges (I am experiencing a very mild form of burnout due to the lack of new exciting projects), but I am not so desperate to accept a lowball offer. In other words, my BATNA is reasonably high.

In terms of offer, what I have gotten so far from one of those companies is:

- $180k base salary

- $200k RSU package over 4 years

- 10% target performance bonus

- $25k signing bonus

Considering my unvested compensation, this seemed low, so I told the recruiter that and, after a couple days, he came back with more RSUs (total package $300k now). How more can I play this game? It would be nice if the RSU package could get as close as possible to my current potential unvested value, but I don't know if that's even possible and if that would have other negative effects (e.g. unreasonably high expected performance level, so that I would be an easy target for termination after 11 months?).

Any advice would be great.
How dare you challenge the common narrative!
I know at least one programmer who is leaving the UK because of Brexit. Personally I am staying put and assuming things will work out ok.
