Except Rust has incredible memory safety, without cumbersome and slow GC, and runs close to C++ speeds, unlike the heavy, wasteful, and slow frameworks you mention like Electron or HTML5.

It really isn't. Most threads that touch on political or economic topics have a majority being pro-regulation, pro-spending, etc.

Things are complicated because many tech libertarians are liberal-libertarians who support things like basic income, but that doesn't change the overall slant of HN. Also note most liberals are ostensibly pro-business, they just think the gov't needs to step in to regulate the free market.

Comments like the grandparent are an example of liberalism without any semblance of objectivity. He disagrees with someone, and, rather than think about why someone would hold those views (even if erroneous), takes for granted that they are irrational, illogical and driven by a hidden agenda.

Exactly; there doesn't need to be an "either-or" here.

In fact one could even agree that Russia could be helpful exposing something untoward the US government is doing, even while you do not endorse all the things they may do and may vigorously oppose them on other fronts.

To be honest, thinking about all this mostly makes me glad I never got into that world, and I hope I never really do. I don't have the constitution for it.

Not a father, but very much interested in pedagogy of programming. I initially got interested in this because of the (now infamous) paper 'Camel has two humps'[1].

Since then, the author has redacted his conclusions, but I still think the paper points to a very interesting thing, some people are different, they just don't "get" programming the same way we do (and this is hardly an indication of being less intelligent, but that there are different kinds of minds out there).

My theory is that the main culprit here is Turing Machine architecture. That people who don't 'get' programming actually might like it better if they are taught lamda calculus based programming first.

I tried teaching my intelligent non-developer buddy programming using a non-FP language which he absolutely didn't get, but when I tried teaching him lamda calculus that made a lot of sense to him, so I am interested in seeing more validation of this hypothesis.

So my suggestion is that you try teaching your son any kind of programming, and if it doesn't work out then try teaching him the other kind. For FP, I recommend teaching him lamda calculus and this game [2] is a good place to start with.

How would renaming a company hide your involvement?

Involvement is dealt with in the shareholder registry, not in the company name. Neither 'Odin Wave' nor 'Tyto' have any direct visual resemblance to "Levandowski', the fact that 'Odin Wave' is a partial anagram of "Levandowski" isn't reason enough to suspect involvement by any other person. (Such as Dwain Evo...).

If I were looking at this sort of thing I'd start with the cap table and look for direct or indirect participation.

Interest rates are almost always annualized and cited in terms of APR or Annual Percentage Rate. If the APR is not cited, then it is implied.

This makes it easier to compare loans even if they have different terms. The fine print will usually provide the daily interest rate, for example 2.00% APR is 2/365 = 0.005479% per day interest.

Often interest is compounded continuously in which case calculus can be used to compute the exact interest, but it ends up as a famous formula in investing, FV = PV * e^(R*T). In practice, it ends up being very close to daily compounding, but it allows banks to advertise an ever-so-slightly higher APY (annual percentage yield) which is why everybody does it this way for interest paid on deposit accounts.

I've been to a couple outdoor malls that were properly laid out/designed.

1) Underground parking under a large portion of the mall.

2) Awnings so that you could stay out of the rain for the most part.

3) No roads through it.

4) Big shops, like department stores, have entrances on multiple sides that people cut through during bad weather, and often direct access to the underground parking.

(3) is a lie, there were usually one-way roads that couldn't be used by non-emergency and non-maintenance vehicles, with access points for delivery mostly along the perimeters. But where most pedestrians were, there were effectively no roads.

This kept the space more compact, as well. The one near me now is an example of a terrible outdoor mall. It's a half-mile walk, largely through empty space, to get to some of the shops. All parking is above ground. Parking and roads pervade the whole area. In essence, what they built, was about 10 stripmalls and called it one mall. This, unfortunately, seems to be the more popular style. Walking around it can feel like frogger sometimes, when the point of the space is to be relaxing and inviting.
Go ahead! Glad to have been of help :)
By analogy, would anyone who starts a business with the intention of selling it later (thus enabling the buyer to remove that business as supplier to his competitors) act in a despicable way?
The coin tosser can make that unfair. http://statweb.stanford.edu/~susan/papers/headswithJ.pdf:

"We prove that vigorously-flipped coins are biased to come up the same way they started.
[...]
For natural flips, the chance of coming up as started is about .51."

So, start your first throw with the desired side up, and the second with the one you don't want.

I haven't calculated it, but I guesstimate that gives you about 52% probability to get the outcome you want (it certainly is more than the 51% of that paper)

I wonder if internally ts is treating these generic-accepting classes in the same way, where the generic is required?
It depends; I should amend it to say that if all that is focused on is imperative programming it can be a greater leap to FP than if the initial learning is either a comparative class or FP-first.
Well, I would be more hesitant to use some other file system without ECC RAM than ZFS. However, "these cloud servers are backed by Cavium ThunderX SoCs, high end processors designed for the cloud, and DDR4 ECC memory," says the article. Nevertheless, I would not consider ZFS on these to be "production ready" except for very small values of "ready."
The phrase "an A to B compiler" might not gain anything from changing compiler to transpiler, but the phrase "an A compiler" does.
This is somewhat deceptive. I happen to read and watch a quick walk though of one dead mall (white flint) before moving to the area and finding a much larger and nicer competitor within 3 miles of the failed mall (Westfield Montgomery).

So yea, we have not been adding malls in the US, but that's because there are few places without them so new malls would just pull business from other malls. Further, building larger competitors only works when you can actually fill them with stores and it turns out white flint was undersized for the area.

> I have a lot of projects, scrolling through tabs at the top is not good enough

I think you are misunderstanding how the new flow is for repo viewing.

The tab (+) button is the replacement for the sidebar repo list. You are not expected to open every single repo and have them all as a separate tab. You are expected to open a reasonable amount of repos at once, do work with them, and then close them. If you want to look at other repos, you open them via the tab (+) button.

I don't think its that big of a deal to change it like that.

That's not to say this I think this is a perfect app. What I want them to improve is making it a bit nicer when you have more than ~10 repos open at once. The tabs are way too wide and scrolling through them is terrible with the way the scroll buttons work right now.

You originally claimed that the NSA was performing mass wiretapping on AT&T and Verizon. MYSTIC has nothing to do with those companies or with Americans, as I've already stated.

It appears that you finally agree both that PRISM isn't mass wiretapping and that AT&T and Verizon aren't being mass wiretapped. Good. You appear to have learned something even if you now claim to have known all along.

Yeah, and anyway, the actual Abraham Lincoln quote is "I haven't said half the shit attributed to me on the internet".
That's true (especially Sears). Though, to be honest, even when I walk into a higher-end place that is clearly not cookie cutter, I'm still ready to get out of there after 10 minutes. I'm just not the department store (or shopping mall) demographic for the most part. Except for the occasional Apple Store maybe and maybe a Target I just have very little reason to frequent most of the places attached to malls in the US.

This academic paper has some interesting insights about what distributed systems (e.g. Hadoop) log in order to be able to reconstruct what happened after a problem occurs.

http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~yuan/papers/zhao_stitch.pdf

In particular,

"- log a sufficient number of events — even at default
logging verbosity — at critical points in the control path so as to enable a post mortem understanding of
the control flow leading up to the failure.

- identify the objects involved in the event to help differ-
entiate between log statements of concurrent/parallel
homogeneous control flows. Note that this would not
be possible when solely using constant strings. For
example, if two concurrent processes, when opening
a file, both output “opening file”, without additional
identifiers (e.g., process identifier) then one would not
be able to attribute this type of event to either process.

- include a sufficient number of object identifiers in the
same log statement to unambiguously identify the ob-
jects involved. Note that many identifiers are naturally
ambiguous and need to be put into context in order to
uniquely identify an object. For example a thread iden-
tifier (tid) needs to be interpreted in the context of a
specific process, and a process identifier (pid) needs to
be interpreted in the context of a specific host; hence
the programmer will not typically output a tid alone,
but always together with a pid and a hostname. If the
identifiers are printed separately in multiple log state-
ments (e.g., hostname and pid in one log statement and
tid in a subsequent one) then a programmer can no
longer reliably determine the context of each tid be-
cause a multi-threaded system can interleave multiple
instances of these log entries."

Some of this may be duh-obvious, but it results in a naming scheme where all important objects in the system have unique, printable ids.

Couple more observations: Hadoop logs tend to fit on one line (they can be long lines, though), except in the case of exceptions. Exceptions are almost always logged, even if they represent an ordinary situation that is recovered from in the error handling code. (Many software failures in these systems occur because a standard, recoverable exception is thrown in one place, improperly handled in the error handling code, and then this causes a much more severe exception further down the line.) All exception logs include a multi-line stack trace.
Man, I really didn't expect all those nice and thoughtful responses. Thank you so much for everyone who replied it. It was really kind of you.
Now I have a much better idea on what Rust was designed for and its strenghts. I've learnt so much here. Also thanks for the articles and videos you shared, I'll definitely take a look at them all.

If you assign the initialized value to a variable then you get the expected behavior: https://wandbox.org/permlink/r6csgR44BZBWudLV. What exactly is the defined destruction behavior for an object that's never (necessarily) on the stack? Or is it actually required to be on the stack in this case?
From page 3, on the regulation of ISPs as utilities:

How can they offer 2x margin? This seems afoul of federal regulations.

From http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/minimummargin.asp:

"When you buy on margin, there are key levels - as governed by the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation T - that must be maintained throughout the life of a trade. The minimum margin, which states that a broker can't extend any credit to accounts with less than $2,000 in cash (or securities) is the first requirement. Second, an initial margin of 50% is required for a trade to be entered. Third, the maintenance margin says that you must maintain equity of at least 25% or be hit with a margin call."
1) Helping people. Doing interesting and creative things.

2) Not actually, nor having to perpetually severely worry about, being screwed over with respect to basic quality of life. Access to reasonable and effective health care. A decent place to live (for me, that means mostly quiet and hopefully with a decent portion of friendly neighbors). Knowing that when I can no longer work, I won't end up in a hell hole.

Sounds pretty modest, doesn't it?

Yet today, in the U.S., it's becoming increasingly illusive and uncertain.

A major downside of categorizing into "winners" and "losers" and focusing on some dystopian fervor for a modern-day "manifest destiny."

In my case, some crap health care (despite my relatively affluent circumstances) set the stage early for additional struggle. Things just kept spiraling down, and the advice I received only reinforced this.

Now -- too late -- I believe you can't have these things, unless you make your primary job learning how to and practicing sticking up for yourself.

I think a lot of my generation got quite fucked over by unrealistic instruction such as "the bully is only hurting himself", "collaboration [undifferentiated, un-qualified] is the future", "things will turn out all right in the end", "you're so [smart|pretty|special]", etc.

So now, my ideal career would be teaching all this by example.

Whatever you do, teach by example.

The answer is in part 2 https://www.protenus.com/blog/a-virtual-goldmine-why-crimina...
The alternative is not homelessness, starvation, or joblessness. The alternative is the next best option.

In most cases the alternative is perfectly fine. Making trade more free makes the alternative better. If it is as trivially costly to find a new job or a different appartment as finding another restaurant, then consumers have a better bargaining position.
[spoilers] The first time I read Permutation City I really enjoyed the reveal that Paul was originally a simulation (many times over) that only existed in the "real" world because the entire universe spontaneously came into being in order to maintain a simpler reality than the alternative in which his simulation suddenly stopped existing. Almost as if complexity itself has some kind of inertia. If that was obvious to you the first time around, kudos!

I also really enjoyed the commentary on solipsism in the context of transhumanism via the 'Peer' character.

Although part 2 doesn't explicitly explain why the universe of PC has the "complexity momentum" property, it does suggest the universe with the lowest Kolmogorov complexity is preferred (via some undescribed physical law). That is why the "ant's" universe wins; it's relative complexity is simpler than the world which Paul had created. I agree that it could have been fleshed out more fully.

Short Answer: Don't worry about people's weight. Invite as many people and cars as you like.

Bridges are designed and built with enough redundancy that if you fit all the people you can find on them, they can comfortably handle the weight. One should be more worried about not how many folks are there but HOW they are moving. Remember if you are in a protest and on a bridge don't "walk in step" like this https://goo.gl/dXIvBN . If you are interested in why this happened watch this https://goo.gl/ZOlzyx (skip to 2:42)

Forget the modern concrete and steel ones, when we built small bridges for villagers in Rwanda and Central America, we would ask all the villagers and their horses to come and fill them (just like in the protest pictures).
