As to the interchange of data, unless you run into a bunch of lazy Mainframers (they do exist) there's a lot they can do at almost zero "cost" to make it easy for you. It is not often there is a genuine case that anyone outside the Mainframe needs to know about internal Mainframe formats. I rail against "how do I translated packed-decimal fields in language-x" questions. There's no need for them to be seen. Same with LRECL and RECFM. Text-only, explicit signs, explicit decimal-points (or scaling factors), then you can have delimited records and no worries. You can even have XML or JSON if happier with that.
"There is no god but God" does seem to offer some wiggle room for atheists, but maybe that's an inadvertent loophole.
Objectivism, as a philosophy, was never really offered up to the academic community; when studied, it has been largely been found to be inconsistent and incoherent, as a work of philosophy, by the community. Googling "objectivism critique" makes for good reading.

That's not to say that there's nothing useful in objectivism, but as a work of philosophy it's weak in some ways that could be shored up, and weak in other ways that could not. Of course, Ayn Rand went the pop philosophy route, publishing novels and leading a weird tiny cult more than trying to address critiques of her work.
This was my take on it as well. The damage that one sick person coming to work could do with this structure would probably cause the peer pressure to be not to show up and potentially spread it around. Guess we will see.
Two minutes use and color me unimpressed. The first thing I drew should have been a slam-dunk and it wasn't recognized. (I challenge anyone to draw a padlock that autodraw can recognize!)

Fair point. I guess there's another assumption, that the rings are built at a constant rate. In fact, if we make the typical assumption that the economy grows exponentially (which might hold for all but the longest term models), it could be possible to build newer rings at an exponentially faster speed by constructing more and more of them simultaneously.

The problem here is that employer-employee isn't perfect. Employers are expected to provide a variety of things, like health insurance, sick leave, parental leave, and even vacation, among other things. There are costs to all of these benefits. These costs are amortized and factored into your pay, and effectively reduces your pay.

Imagine you make $130k a year--that's about $65/hr in your eyes. But to the employer, factoring in the ancillary costs of benefits, and payroll taxes, you likely cost around $100/hr. What if instead, every person instead had their own little personal one-person LLC, and they worked as independent contractors? Then you would bill for hours worked, and you could get paid the $100/hr you actually cost.

The downside to this is that you don't get paid when you are sick, or have a child. But a more accurate way of putting that is that your coworkers do not subsidize/pay for your parental or sick leave. You'd have to get independent insurance to cover such situations. You would also get a solo 401(k) for saving, you'd get your own health insurance, and manage your own benefits in general.[1] It could be a bit empowering.

[1] A bit off-topic, but note that solo 401(k)s come with a higher contribution limit got $52,000 verses $18,000 for regular 401(k)s. I've also found that healthcare.gov offers a lot of choice (at least in New York, NY), and I'd rather my company pay me the amount they spend of health insurance, and I get my own care (provided there is an above-the-line tax deduction for health insurance premiums).
Minimum in Norway is 4 weeks holiday and 9 days sick leave. Most have 5 weeks holiday and many have 24 days sick leave. This is without a doctors notice. With a doctors notice you get 50 weeks sick leave, after that the employer can consider firing you and your pay will be cut.

This is my favorite economist joke: There is a physicist, chemist, and an economist stuck on a desert island together. They find a can of beans, and are discussing how to open the can. The physicist says "Lets climb up the tree and drop a rock on it. The force from the drop will make the can explode and open." Then the chemist says "We should put the can in some saltwater. The metal will corrode, and we can get inside." Finally the economist says, "Let's assume a can opener..."

800 calories for dinner is perfectly reasonable; salad aside, it is hard to get a meal going out that is less than that.

If you are very small you may need less than that. In that case, eat less.

If they were to ship out 400 calorie dinners, people would be very, very unsatisfied. If you're a small person, you probably don't experience this, but big people that are very active need to eat a lot. I know people that eat close to 4000 calories per day and could easily make room for more.

Personally, as someone on a weight loss journey (unapologetic euphemism for 'fatass'), I have paid very close attention to caloric intake. At my high, I would need about 2200 calories per day to lose weight at the supposed healthy rate of 2lbs per day. If I ate much less than that I wouldn't have energy and would be hungry constantly; this isn't healthy and one of the reasons starving oneself isn't a great weight loss strategy. Of course as I lost weight, my caloric needs changed - 20lbs down I started to need to eat closer to 2000 calories per day.

There are metabolism calculators online; in my case, I was surprised to see they accurately predicted how I would react to various levels of caloric intake.

I would recommend plugging in values you'd estimate for people you know and people you see on e.g. TV. You might be surprised at how different their experiences are in terms of what constitutes a healthy maintenance diet.

Technically such a person should be called a cracker, no? A hacker is just someone who hacks on things. Where is this pop definition from?
You don't have to know, and many working on Manframes don't. No-one outside the Mainframe should need to know, unless you get the stupid "oh, but they refuse to change the program" for a data-transfer (read, "we signed-off on it before we knew what we were doing"). There's 256 bit-patterns to a byte. It is not rocket surgery.

It's OK, they'll make up the losses in volume!
i just wanted to say that this was so well written it hurts
Mainly two (honest) reasons:

1) After years of C++ in games, I've written a lot of JS. I believe in where the language is going and I saw an opportunity to use JS to write a cross platform 2-D game engine with low overhead and went for it

2) Unity lends itself very well to 3D games in my experience, or 3-D games with a fixed camera to look 2D. So this would likely lead to overhead involving "Well, let's just render the 2-d components in 3-d" which easily spirals into needing a modeler, a rigger, an animator, a concept artist and a programmer MINIMUM to run the game. As it stands now I need a 2-D artist and a single dev.

Oh, I lied:

3) I can't create a business as easily marketing a unity mod than marketing a stand alone FOCUSED engine on one type of game. But if my plan fails, I can still write a unity renderer for my game since most of my logic is serverside and platform agnostic. So who knows! :)

> As you yourself point out, you were using features that weren't in a browser and needed a different transpiler to implement them. I think object spread still isn't even part of the standard(?) and you could imagine the standard diverging from the babel implementation of it, so the risk is mostly the same there.

That's why there are stages and you should use at least stage 2 (draft) https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/preset-stage-2/

Scientists Fear Climate Data Gap as Trump Aims at Satellites
Slack, Hipchat, Campfire, etc. are all just IRC for normal people. There is without a doubt a barrier to entry to IRC that actually requires a bit of understanding of how the protocol works. "I'm in #this-channel-you-told-me-about, but no one else is in here, wtf?". "Oh, you're on the wrong network - it's EFNet, not Freenode".

There is no such barrier for the current set of chat apps. Download > Login with google, start chatting with the person who invited you. Search history? File sharing? No need to remember anything about dcc/xdcc, no need to manage servers running bots, no need to manage anything, really; it's all taken care of by the nerds that run the service.

I think one might actually be able to build a business by building a Slack that runs on top of IRC, and releasing client apps that actually significantly reduce the flexibility that a standard IRC client gives you. If you can get the on boarding flow to invite -> download -> log in -> start chatting with the people you want to chat with, you could crush slack (assuming you had the marketing budget to compete with theirs).

I think, however, that IRC will remain in some ways as a small haven from eternal September (haha, yeah, I know). The barrier to entry is a feature, not a bug.
Isn't prostate cancer [UK, 1-in-7 men] more prevalent than breast cancer [UK, 1-in-8 women]?

[Stats from mass media sources eg The Independent; prostate stat is supported by nhs.uk .]

Aside, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3411479/ suggests we've got a mismatch with funding and health/societal costs of different cancers with Breast, Prostate and Leukemia all being relatively richly funded FWIW.
Not exactly Firebase in that it doesn't provide an arbitrarily nested JSON structure as a datastore but more of a document-based approach. Overall a pretty good alternative to Firebase but there is no security rules, no default data store or auth so you need a lot more work. Lists are not very good being just a record with an array of record keys and not the actual data. I use the self-hosted version (deepstream.io) at work where we can't use Firebase because of company policy and regulations.

Well the engine rechipping industry is somewhat similar.

But indeed, this is hypothetical - but maybe more likely than the OP's desired outcome that "manufacturers of capital goods such as tractors are by law required to fully document what they sell including schematics, board lay-outs and source code or even a reproducible build package."
I don't know where did you get that quote from but it describes "crackers". This is what hackers are all about: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
> What do you have in mind?

You are using URIs and HTTP status codes (if you want to call it that, as you are not actually speaking HTTP), which is completely unnecessary (you could transport that same information in JSON, reducing the number of languages that an implementation needs to be able to generate and parse to one instead of three, thus reducing the attack surface by at least 66 % (probably more, given the complexity of HTTP)).

I mean, just look at the "lightweight C client" that you linked to above: Not only is it not in C, but it's already full of bugs that are essentially caused by the complexity of all those languages on has to interface with.

> But nobody's bothered to implement it, because nobody seems to feel HTTP+JSON is particularly broken in practice.

Or, more likely, those who do feel that way have read the spec, facepalmed, and forgot about it?
Google made $74bn in 2015 [1], 100m on charity is just PR. Is that a days revenue? An hours? I'm glad it's happening, but I'm cynical enough to consider that little more than an investment in company image.

Every company which makes such ridiculous amounts of money throws some of it at a cause or other, they get far more returns from it in PR than they would spending it another way.

No, they put in AC.

What do you mean, "No"? Are you saying the reports of Amazon hiring "Cetronia Ambulance Corps to have ambulances and paramedics stationed at its two adjacent warehouses during five days of excessive heat in June and July", as per the article, were just fake news -- and if so, which parts?

You're right about what ultimately drove the longer-term decision to put in better AC, though.

Curious for a link to that. Facebook lets you download your own data. But if you upload that data somewhere else, they're going to sue someone?
And those reasons are unfair. They're fundamentally about incentivizing a behavior via the legal system.

There's nothing wrong with that, but it's ridiculous to say it's fair when at a fundamental level, the exact point is that it's not.

I've been on rides before where, a few blocks from my destination, the driver will open up the opposite app to start polling for a new rider before even dropping me off.
It pains me to see how a person responsbile for a pretty important app is as oblivious as you are to the real issues.

Many people use laptops and their battery life matters a lot, being one "minor" factor. Not to mention that in a technical sense, your app really shouldn't take any CPU while idling. Doing a socket wait is something a Raspberry Pi Zero handles without going to more than 1% CPU, for half a second.

At any rate, other people in this thread explained it much better than I could: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14091782

> Also a good way to ensure sick people heroically come to work and infect everyone else.

There will always be people who'll do that, some out of sheer disregard for others and feelings of being a superhero by not letting a "little" thing like a 'flu stop them, but there are some really bad employers out there who discourage sick days through bad planning and poor decisions.

I just worked two days with someone who has a 'flu bad enough that he has a fever. He shouldn't have been there because he's infectious, and something of a hazard to himself. The only reason he came in is because the employer refuses to train backup staff, and holds each of us responsible for our jobs to the point of stupidity. (What do I mean by that? Old equipment fails, it's marked on the sheet as "operator error." Last week, a script generated incorrect job numbers and we had to restart production well into the run as a result of it - that wasn't accepted by management as an error, because it would never happen. Stupidity on the order of "that printout attached isn't proof of it, it comes from a printer and anybody can do that.")
Overbooking should just be illegal.

Making things worse, airlines pick "less valuable" passengers to remove. These of course are the inexperienced fliers who are having trouble to begin with. They may have shown up 5 hours or 5 minutes in advance, they struggle to figure out how car rental works, they might have never purchased a hotel stay in their life, they are struggling to calculate time zone conversions, they are just learning about concourses/terminals/gates, they have never used a baggage claim, and they are confused about boarding.

Not that it should normally happen, but if an airline does need to remove somebody, they should be required to pay whatever compensation is required to get a volunteer. If that causes a huge loss, oh well -- try not to end up in that situation.
> he did not expect how far the Slack Desktop App would take his invention

Kind of funny to read this article, after just reading that Electron article.
"When, exactly, do you think that the X86 surpassed the Mainframe processors, and in what particular way?"

Fairly recently. Through things like affordable ssd, enough Moore's law around intel, and better distributed data stores. And better app side knowledge on how to break up a monolith.

I was around for a few failed "rewrite this TPF system" attempts and I saw what broke.

Commodity stuff can replace it now...but only very recently.

Or if you just meant x86-64 vs any other CPU, for the CPU alone? That debate is just done. They poured enough money into that mess that they won, assuming you don't care about power consumption.

The person you're replying to has been known to post nonsense in threads related to nutrition.
One issue is that the $800 that keeps getting quoted as the offered compensation was not cash. It was $800 in vouchers for more United flights that have redemption restrictions and a 1-year time limit. I guess it's worth something to some people, but it's really easy to see why no one chomped at the bit. United might have gotten someone to volunteer if it was just $500 of real cash.
That would be the silliest decision for Lyft, as it is so close to taking over Uber. With the Google case hanging over them and all the bad press they've been getting lately, Lyft is catching up faster than ever. Why would they sell out now when they could potentially pass and take over Uber?

Essential to species continuation, not your life.

It's like you and the sibling comment decided to ignore my second paragraph entirely.

It's unfair, not a bad idea or illegal. Sometimes, we want options not to be fair because we're trying to incentivize behavior.

Incentivizing the continuation of the species is generally regarded as a good idea, so we make extra allowances for people who do that, even though it isn't fair.
When people use the term "C/C++", I assume that they don't know either language well.

Are you serious? I think lots of people do. I think it's one of the draws of Slack.

> The thing is, most IRC servers don't want to buffer messages indefinitely for everyone that makes an account then never logs in again.

Is that what Slack does? Whatever they do, I think it's what people want. Indeed it is not an experience offered by IRC, perhaps because "most IRC servers don't want" to, sure.
