Ask HN: Which types of jobs have been created in recent years?
Since you're on HN, you've probably run across the automation debate. To quickly summarize it: One side argues that increasing computing power, AI and robotics advancements will make human work obsolete because all jobs are automated away, thus causing dramatic changes in our society. The other side counters that automation has been going on for centuries, and whenever something is automated away, new jobs emerge out of these changes. A classic example is horse-drawn carriages being replaced by cars. There were lots of jobs lost around caring for horses and building carriages, but new jobs were created in car manufacturing, road construction and maintenance, gas stations, motels, and so forth.

Here's the thing: A lot of jobs are being made obsolete as we speak. But which types of jobs have been created in recent years (let's say, maybe the last 20 years)? That's an honest question. I could list some, but I'll try not to skew the discussion from the start hoping to be surprised by what you can come up with.
I said nothing about European airlines.

But I've wondered how much worse it would have been here if Ryan Air or Easy Jet had moved in.

So, been thinking about this one for a couple of years and think it's probably a mistake to make GraphQL responsible for permissioning for anything other than a quick MVP. It's a concern that should pervade your stack rather than being "decloaked" at the outer edges. It's the responsible for your underlying data layer to determine what a user permitting user is allowed to do. Additionally, there are many approaches to permissioning that exist for good reasons, and appearing to bless one approach would feel short-sighted.

I agree that there are reasons you may want GraphQL to handle permissions initially, but much like libraries that map your types to database table, it'll be a solution you walk away from quite early on. It'd feel strange for it to be built into graphql-tools itself, which is concerned with building an executable schema, but I could see it being a relatively useful library that's essentially just a bunch of resolver decorators.

Godot is super easy in 2d if you understand scene-tree-node philosophy and you have nothing agains thier variation of python. API is small, IDE is good, works great on linux.

Personally I'm using it for prototyping, my main engine is UE4 though.

There are so many things wrong with this comment.

First, commuting refers specifically to the to-and-from of your journey to work. I hate cars, but you're being dishonest in how you're addressing the parent comment. Going to the grocery store, for example, isn't a commute. Actually you could probably use Prime Pantry or something and not even have to drive to go do those things. I strongly prefer a walkable city, and people like Jeff Speck preach the gospel as far as I'm concerned - but I'll take a daily 20 minute drive over an hour hopping on and off trains any day of the week - especially when I can do so from my nice, comfy Lexus or whatever.

You can complain about the weather and that's valid, but the whole planet isn't California and we can't all live there for one reason or another. If a bunch of people like me moved out there from the frozen/scorching wasteland of places like NYC, then you'd be priced out of the state. Be thankful that for some people weather isn't that big of a deal.

>And don't get me started on the casual racism/homophobia. The Midwest is Trump's America. In-laws firmly believe Obama is a Muslim and that Hillary Clinton is a witch. I'm not exaggerating for effect, and they're not being coy. Sincerely held beliefs.

Just because your family is stupid doesn't make everybody else's family stupid. My parents don't think Obama is a Muslim , aren't at all racist, and they voted for Trump. I don't think Obama is a Muslim (I voted for him both times) and I don't like Hillary. So you can stop with the drive-by generalizations here - especially these undeserved "casually racist" ones.
I guess this boils down to philosophical differences in the role of government. One side believes that greater taxation leads to a larger role of government in society and results in the erosion of personal liberties. They are afraid that making filing taxes easier could continue this trend. I don't think this has anything to do with efficient bureaucracy and cult of personalities. The discussion on if government is ever able to be an efficient participant of all parts of society that it involves itself in is always up for debate. One fundamental reason for this belief is that government can not be the best solution to many of societies issues because the incentives on individuals in government, government bureaucracies and the public are so misaligned.
On my team at work we require all todos to link to a tracking issue (think like JIRA, etc...)

That way it's

1.) Clear what the context on the todo is
2.) It's clearly in our backlog and can be prioritized accordingly.

We have some scripts that run at build time to verify all todos have the appropriate issue as well as manual code reviews on all changes and I honestly don't remember the last time it was done incorrectly.
There are two inflection points for renewables:

1. Cheaper than NEW CONSTRUCTION of coal or gas
2. Cheaper than OPERATING COST of coal and gas

We have passed inflection point 1 in the last couple years. That's why the predictions were off. As soon as we hit inflection point 1, new construction switches from goal and gas to renewables.

This will continue until we start getting instability problems, but cheaper storage (batteries or whatever) will ameliorate this.

The next inflection point will make the current rate of growth look slow. When renewables are cheaper than the operating cost (forget about paying back the capital), the entire coal and gas installed base becomes a stranded asset and it will be replaced at whatever rate we can build out renewables.

It really doesn't. Spy agencies have been collecting economic and military intelligence on foreign countries and companies since their inception. It was a NSA apologist that correctly noted that each country with a spy agency makes it illegal for people to spy on them, complains about it internationally, and then funds an agency to spy on everyone else for their own benefit. Regardless of what laws or technicalities say, all these countries with spy agencies want foreign spying to happen & legally endorse it by creating said agencies. This should be expected.

Even if they made it illegal, I still wouldn't trust them as they'd try to do something to get an edge on negotiations. That something would be illegal activity they outsourced to mercenary organizations or partnered with nations with spy organizations with some benefit promised back to them. For example, nearly all of Europe has intelligence sharing agreements per Snowden leaks with the very agency (NSA) they're publicly griping about. Only 3 didn't in whatever deal that was: Switzerland, Iceland, and one other I can't remember.
> I mean, really, a million companies have tried it and found it didn't work. You'd have to really bank on Nintendo name recognition to think there is a chance.

I agree and I think it would really work for Nintendo because they actually have tons of older games people would want whereas many of the attempts in the past offered only indie or no-name games.

In my opinion Nintendo is literally the only company that could pull it off.

I was working as my department's internal R&D director a couple years ago and I was interested in the first question as well. Note that that position probably sounds way more important than it actually was. Coincidentally, it was at one of the places Alan Kay mentions in an answer to the linked Quora question.

I pretty much focused on 3 different entities: DARPA, Xerox PARC, and Bell Labs. These are the books I read to try to answer that question:

[1] Dealers of Lightning. https://www.amazon.com/Dealers-Lightning-Xerox-PARC-Computer...
[2] The Department of Mad Scientists. https://www.amazon.com/Department-Mad-Scientists-Remaking-Ar...
[3] The Idea Factory. https://www.amazon.com/Idea-Factory-Great-American-Innovatio...

I personally thought that having access to a diverse set of disciplines & skills and a reasonable budget were two of the more important things.

Well, the server needs to message the client with updates somehow. Either the client keeps a connection open or it has to periodically poll the client. Keeping a connection open is faster and it uses less system resources.
I find this strange, because this has been a solved problem with graphql-js for about 18 months now, and provided as a core feature in other implementations such as Sangria in Scala. I've written about this particular problem, calling out solutions that exist in different languages:

I wish we had 'Decathlon' in the US. It's kind of similar to REI, but the gear is much cheaper, and in some cases of more modest quality (but still quite functional rather than 'cheap crap'). This is a great tradeoff to make if you're pretty casual about this or that activity and not ready to invest the big bucks.
Anytime someone has a scary thought about ML it all comes down to control problems - eg. the machine having the final say about what happens without human being able to override it.

In gmail now, if you say "attached" in your email but don't attach something, you can still send the message, it just gives you a warning. You're consistently shown improved interfaces and content because of ML, yet those aren't scary and you don't feel out of control.

I think people have seen way too many scary movies about AI, and it's tainted our whole discipline.
There's plenty of sources. For example, Planet Money, episode 760, where we hear a story of how a program to make filing easier and less error prone, without changing the tax code in any way, is axed when Norquist starts to pressure republicans.

I for one find the grandparent's explanation of the organization to be quite accurate. My guess is that you aren't getting the subtext: His main goal is, in practice, to lower taxes for those with high incomes, and the rest of that group's stated goal is just mandatory steps to make it possible to pass that.

The visibility factor is huge, just because without it, his movement would not have legs: The more visible, the more likely it is for people to dislike taxes, whether they are getting a lot out of them or not. Making all taxes lower is also key to sell that goal too, as flattening the system while maintaining revenue would mean a tax increase for a large majority of Americans, which is also a non-starter.

Once you get those real, non-stated goals, then the stated goals make perfect sense, as they align 100% with what one would need to do to get the real goals achieved in practice.
I said you are justifying or trying to make it OK to be mentally lazy and pre-judge based on pre-conceived notions through labels. I never said you used a specific label, since the video talks about the concept of using ID labels and "how useful they are".

Chip manufactures aren't going to be able to keep it up though. Look at all the problems getting a 10nm chip working, look at how those issues are going to get much worse at 7 and 3nm scales.

By the time I am at the tail end of my life, I would hope to go away as peaceful and quickly as possible. Work serves purpose to human lives and counting down the clock until you croak is something I want to do as little as possible. I excercise 3xs a week on average of about an hour a piece, adding running a hour a day is a waste of time.

I'm so happy I got to have that meeting. He's a hero of mine too.

He did a particular live solo that left a deep impression. The whole thing was integrated. There was a simple little motif that he built on, playing it over and over again, elaborating on bits, remembering the variations, repeating them, adding little elaborations to the elaborations. Eventually, it became like a labyrinth with the original motif in the center.

I guess success depends on your goals. If you just want that degree so that you can go out and get a job as fast as possible, then by all means. If you really want to learn everything the school has to offer to enrich yourself, then you can do that too. If you're paying for it, and you get what you want out of it, I don't really see a problem either way.

I'm always happy to explain how we interpret things when users are asking in good faith. That's not clear to me in this case though.

HN has never been a letter-of-the-law kind of place. It would be a huge mistake to try to formalize the rules here. It would lead to bureaucracy, nitpickery, system-gaming, and plenty more that would eat our souls. Does that mean interpretation is involved? Yes, as it always is everywhere.

I think I've explained to you before that it's an abuse of HN to use it primarily for battle as opposed to curiosity. We really can't have both, so would you please use the site the intended way from now on?
I'm also on the look out: I'm thinking about AVADirect (www.avadirect.com), they let you make fully custom ones. Depending on what you're looking for, some options might be maingear, alienware, falcon northwest, xotic, velocity micro and origin.

Hoping someone who's ordered from any of them can chime in and share a bit more

> To my knowledge NZ and USA are two countries that will try to tax you wherever you live until you die unless you renounce citizenship.

US yes, NZ no. The US is practically the only country in the world to do that actually. And they WILL hit you with an extra "exit" tax if you try and renounce your citizenship too.
Yes, and so do sapient machines.
Seems like the Steam Link will cover most of that.
Keyword is average. It's a general guideline that should not be followed if you have any interest in nutrition. Just as it's not good for short females who want to stay thin (who doesn't want to stay thin?) it's not a good line for men who are 6'5'' 260lbs.

I can't glean useful information out of it except to note Fox-IT has some experts on hand that can help. They were mentioned. The hacks usually come from malicious insiders, social engineering of benign insiders, bad configurations, bad protocols, and especially 0-days in software. The interim solution should then be hardened OS with strong TCB, use of proven protocols, secure-by-default configuration, auditing/monitoring by third-parties for malicious insiders, and controls for both malicious and benign insiders. SWIFT's headlines indicate a lot of software implementing controls, analysis, and so on. I didn't see anything at a glance about making the implementation of those software, their protocols, or their OS's bulletproof.

So, I still don't trust them. This looks like the same shit management in banking and "security" industries come up with all the time. You know, the stuff used in dozens of companies that got bypassed by so-called "APT's" that sent emails with infected PDF's and Excel documents. Really "advanced" attacks it takes. Haha. Trick is, you need both the security features and assurance they're secure. Most of industry focuses on former where my type focuses on latter as much as possible. ;)

> Compare that to the JavaScript flavor of the hour

That's a rather selective and misleading comparison. The Javascript language is over 20 years old.

The uses of Javascript you're presumably referring to are mainly in user interfaces, a deceptively challenging problem which hardware companies are notoriously bad at.

> Common Lisp is about the only software I would consider declaring long attention span.

C is much older than Common Lisp. C++ is about the same age as Common Lisp.

But perhaps you're thinking of Lisp in general, including the predecessors to Common Lisp, in which case you should probably also mention Fortran.

Looking at other widely used programming languages today, Python is over 25 years old, only about 7 years younger than Common Lisp. Java is also more than 20 years old.

All of these languages are still widely used, in many actively used applications that themselves are 20+ years old, in every conceivable application domain.

In short, the distinction you're trying to make isn't at all clear.
To be honest you got me! In my mind shipping is the way to go and in the last few days launching is a weird option I almost get dragged into pursuing! Haha... You got the reluctant to charge part completely right and I know you make a great case. Will try to do it the hard way since this is more disappointing and you easily get caught up in a momentary launch fantasy that does not exist! Thank you again for everything!

The argument isn't that TODOs should replace tickets. There's a place for both.

Often, by the time you officialize a TODO into the ticket pipeline, you could've just fixed it yourself. But the reason you dropped a TODO was because you were already busy with something else more important.

TODOs just sit at a local, unofficial scope in the code. I'm not sure what kind of things you put into TODOs, but if you were to generate a ticket from each TODO in the code I work on, you'd have generated a bunch of low value ticket garbage.

The problem with a rule like "no TODOs allowed in the code" is that TODOs are issues that aren't usually worthy of a ticket, or at least not the time to turn it into one at that exact moment. You'd just be blind to more issues. Not a reason to pat yourself on the back for 'clean code'.

Not sure why you are down-voted, that comment is spot on, nice reference.
I dunno...the dongle gives up it's certificate so that you can brute force it offline. It's an 8 digit numeric only pin. 100 million possible PINS, when you can do 100 million SHA-256 computations in 30 minutes on a typical laptop. That seems unwise.

And it allows you to send and receive any CAN bus message you want, versus just some subset of OBDII. As far as I can tell, the features don't require anything other than querying OBDII for some very small subset of data. So if the dongle only passed those request packets, and dropped everything else, it would be miles more secure. Since it appears to be a simple passthrough device, I'm not sure there's enough horsepower in the dongle to fix that with firmware.

The according to the BLS, the median wage nationally is $100,080 and the average is $104,300. I'm not convinced a 4% difference takes away a whole lot of value, especially when salaries are close to a normal distribution.

I'm willing to bet that as you limit you data set to a smaller region, salaries normalize even further.
Text assets should be the default and only option, just opening the project shouldn't change any files, and saving on a different computer shouldn​'t arbitrarily change the metadata files.

I paid $2k for US/UK taxes when I moved to London. I had always done it myself up to that point, including freelance Schedule C work, I definitely knew my way around the US tax code.

But then I move to the UK which has a different tax year, with a lot of subtleties over where my money was physically located, and what kind of expenses I could claim, and it got crazy complicated crazy fast. Paying $2k probably saved me $10k/year.
