I think the main reason is, that Groovy seems to be abandoned, while Kotlin is in development, with JetBrains backing it.

But as far as language features support goes ... Kotlin, Ceylon, Groovy, new versions of C#, most of the times the language features are never that far apart (and they definitely do steal all features among each other) and you choose based on library and tooling support, familiarity and popularity.

Kotlin will come out among the top w.r.t. tooling support, because JetBrains will support it in its ide and library support because of its java compatibility. The android announcement pushes its tooling story even further.

Some projects would use older version control systems like cvs.

Others would manage development through email lists. Everyone was good at using the diff & patch commands. Mail clients like mutt were great at searching and sorting email. Releases would go up to FTP servers.

In larger projects, there might have been multiple trees maintained. For example, get your patch into Andrew or Alan's tree before Linus would take it.

Most lung cancer is caused by cigarettes. Many cancers have a "lifestyle" component. This does not mean that every single case of cancer is caused by something the person did. It does mean that we need to give people better information. Some lifestyle factors are much stronger than others. Smoking causes a lot of cancer. Alcohol causes less.

http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/lung-cancer/ris...

> Smoking tobacco is one of the biggest causes of lung cancer. More than 8 out of 10 lung cancers (80%) are caused by smoking .This includes breathing in other people’s cigarette smoke.

The knowledge he is writing is so basic anyone must understand.

You're saying like "We should not teach programming publicly since bad guy may misuse the knowledge."
I don't understand this decision. I get the argument that it's most likely developers who want the Linux Subsystem but as soon as you say that only some apps in the store work in 10 S you start the trail of platform fragmentation.
The only thing that Github's pull request system adds that wasn't being done before is single-click merging. Everything else was there. You would email a patch to the author, or to the mailing list, and discuss the merits of the patch there. Then someone with access to the repository would commit it (I use the term generically; version control was less common back then).

The diff program we all use today has it's origins in the 70s, although the unified diff format that we almost always use was created in the 80s.

Email was invented in the 60s, UUCP in the 70s, and Usenet in 1980.

Version control was invented in the 70s with SCCS.

Web-based bug trackers such as Bugzilla originated in the 90s, as did continuous integration software like Tinderbox.

Of all of these, Git represents the biggest improvement over it's predecessors, while email is pretty much still just email. The diff program hasn't changed since the 80s. Bug trackers and other such tools haven't changed dramatically either, although a lot more attention is paid to UX and polish these days.

I think the largest change is the wide availability of these tools today. Everyone knows about them, and it's seen as aberrant to not use version control or bug tracking.
Admit it. You don't want people to load external code.
I guess if they really wanted to keep WSL, they could just "sandbox" it by disabling access to the Windows filesystem (that is, no /mnt/c and so on).

i.e. here in Italy you get a code to distinguish between happy chicken in a farm, free range chicken, closed range non intensive and intensive.

besides most of the 'horrible living condition' propaganda is aimed at the uneducated. of course in a large operation as huge as chicken farming there are gonna be mutated ones that get direct to waste - there's an estimate 7.2 billion chicken going around, even only considering normal genetic mutations there ought to be hundred millions yearly to go around to be used in those 'look these horrible sad chicken' videos, that are just a production of numbers and proportions more than actual cruelty (as compared to, say, foie gras)

What I can think of the the UK, please add or disagree, perhaps there's also regional variation:

* Street - A road that traditionally had shops; may or may not today

* Road - Linking 2 places, may or may not have buildings

* Lane - Traditionally lined by bushes, winding, or otherwise 'small'

* Gardens - Limited to residential housing

* Court - Enclosed square

* Square - With a road/roads encircling it

* Causeway - Next to the sea, sure

* Avenue - Can recall a handful growing up but nothing made them distinguishable. Roads invariably as straight lines, other than the ones the Romans built, are an alien concept

* Boulevard - Never met a boulevard in the UK

* Parkway - Only one I can think of is Bristol Parkway, but I think of that as a train station

Book review: Elastic Leadership
Question: It says at point 8:

> Don't supervise the quality and volume of people’s work.

And I agree with the argument following that sentence. On the other hand, 2 points above that it says:

> Do enforce behavioral and performance standards. Fire bullies and underperformers.

So how else do I recognize underperformers without taking note of quantity and quality of people's output? Surely I can't just take someone else's word for it (and by the point a peer complains about this it's probably too late already anyway?).
This may sound biased (as it's how I make my money) but I would suggest you work on an app, and get someone to help you with the ops, and specifically tell them you want to learn about how things work.

In terms of development practices, I would suggest you ignore things like containers and micro services etc for now.

As a learning exercise try this:

Use something like vagrant, and setup a project with two boxes. Then have your app running on both, but the database (and any other storage processes like Redis, etc) running on just one. You could also do this with a third box just for the database, but that's up to you.

In a real-world situation, the above scenario would be multiple servers hosting the database server, redis server, etc - we're just trying to get you used to "I can't just stick stuff on local disk" without worrying about setting up a working DB cluster.

Make it work regardless of which server you access the web app from.

Hint: Depending on your framework/language the key thing here will be handling user sessions via something other than web-server-local storage.

Honestly I don't think it's bad for a developer to understand the basics of how infrastructure works, and if you're particularly interested it can be a very rewarding field to work in, but for the love of tacos, please don't fall into the trap of thinking "Oh, so I guess DevOps means all developers need to be Ops now".

Happy to discuss further with you, if you'd like.

"The effect of senior obstetric presence on maternal and neonatal outcomes in UK NHS maternity units: a systematic review and meta-analysis"

> Fifteen studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, presenting data from 125 856 births. Overall, there was no significant difference between lesser and increased consultant presence for any outcome. When data were stratified by comparison type, the likelihood of emergency caesarean section was significantly lower (odds ratio, OR 0.91; 95% confidence interval, 95% CI 0.86–0.96) and the likelihood of non-instrumental vaginal delivery was significantly higher (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.02–1.12) when the rostered hours of consultant presence per week were increased.
I wonder if this affects createspace books. I don't see how it would, but then maybe I'm missing an angle.
"Safety" in a verification context generally refers to safety properties, i.e., properties that can be shown to not hold with a finite counter example (a test that hits a bug). Liveness properties in comparison are those that need an infinite counter example, i.e., a way to make the bad thing happen infinitely often.
What about the converse question? Why does the filesystem not provide indexing, tabulation, relationships among document, archival tools, tools for merging two diverged versions of a folder tree, etc.? (Is there one that does it? I don't know!). E.g. Why can't I store a slidedeck by slides and show a "document" that is composed of transcluded bits and pieces? I think pondering alternate systems from time to time is valuable.
Data Structures and Algorithms practice problems and their solutions
I'm aware of this method but I've found it difficult in practice, you want to be running in Release mode for the JIT optimisatinos. Then due to method inlining your breakpoint might get inlined somewhere that "just my code" thinks is not your code. You rarely want "just my code" off in practice, so it becomes cumbersome to toggle off/on.

I added a Google Map at zoom 16 or so for customer addresses in the backend of an ecommerce store to help improve deliverability. These addresses are primarily in the USA and I set it to the tilted 'drone' view. This seems to be a world that is always sunny. I am constantly taken aback by the geometry of some of the places that show up in this map view, often a 'crescent' informs you that the address must be correct because it is a 'crescent' that you expect the pin to be on, the shape visually confirms things nicely. 'Crescent' is an obvious clue but you would be surprised with what registers at a glance to confirm the address is likely to be correct.

Thanks. Your original comment took issue with the statement that Assange was indeed interviewed in London by Swedish prosecutors. You said "This is simply not true." The issue for you seems to be that that the questions being put to Assange weren't actually put to him by Swedish prosecutors directly. Even though they were the Swedish prosecutors' questions being put to him. That doesn't sound like a huge issue to me, and I don't see why it should discount the interview. Especially as the Swedish prosecutors themselves have not taken issue with this aspect of the interview. It seems this was procedure they agreed to.

Calm down folks, Coinlist is not for you (and not for me):

https://coinlist.co/about/help/investors/2

They require you to be an accredited investor. For those who don't know what it is:

It's the single biggest reason why rich become richer and the rest stay the same. In short, you have to have at least $200k yearly income (per individual) or $1M liquid net worth in order to be an accredited investor according to SEC.

I hate so much this regulation! Just because of some retarded voters can't realize risks they taking, the rest must be out of all sweet deals angels and VCs are making.

What the government tells you: stay where you are or invest in crappy index fund and it takes you about 23 years to get $1M if you invest $1000 each single month and every single year index grow 10% which never happens by the way.

I'm so so glad that first time in history the government forgot to put their heavy hand and I had a chance to invest in Ripple before Google Ventures did. So now, for the first time in my entire life, I'm enjoying the same rate of grow as Google Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz.

So folks enjoy the crypto-party, dance till music stops!

It won't last long before the government with support from leftists impose new regulations when a few retards lose their money in obviously scammy ICOs.

Don't know how external libraries are loaded? Because if you work with

I don't see why rich people are in this discussion. Certainly, should there be a collapse of classic finance, they would move away and just be as rich. This is hardly relevant anyway, because it's not rich people who drive classic finance, it's banks.

And banks are major actors because ... they have all the money of the world at their disposal. Should people be angry at banks and move their money from them (let's see... what recent financial innovation could allow people to withdraw their money from banks?), banks would be powerless. By the way, your overconfidence is typical of end of 3rd wave.

> the big five publishers theorized that third-party sellers might be selling some of the free promotional copies… which have no such marking on their covers and often end up sold to bookstores like the Strand.

If these promotional copies already being sold by other bookstores then what's the problem? If they shouldn't be sold then the publishers should clearly mark them as not for sale.

> Others have suggested that they might be buying books with minor cosmetic damage from warehouses…

Presumably these slightly damaged books were originally printed and sold by the publishers too, so what's the problem?
Still doesn't sound like fun.
This is a long article that confuses the issue. The root of the problem, if it even exists, is that some sellers sell bootleg copies on Amazon. That is what the article should be about rather than the buy box.

The linux subsystem is implemented via Windows kernel modules. "Just sandboxing" has proved to be a pretty hard problem for both kernels, so I'm pretty skeptical that simply removing /mnt/c would suddenly result in a reasonable secure system. Especially since the WSL code is quite young.

No, the government is paying private contractors to advise debtors, which is a market-based approach utilizing efficient private enterprise. Hence the 38 to 1 ratio is quite obviously the most efficient that can be done - this is just economics 101.

Just imagine if the government would simply employ people to advise debtors directly, how inefficient that would be, how unhelpful the advice would be, how much money would be wasted! They'd probably spend more money on that bureaucracy than what little revenue they'd bring in!
> Default Deterrence

> In traditional retail lending schemes, borrowers are dissuaded from defaulting for fear of primarily two things: repercussions on their future creditworthiness, and legal actions forcing either a forfeiture of assets or bankruptcy. The Dharma Protocol replicates the first as part of the Risk-Assessment Attestation mechanism described above. However, the levers of the legal system will likely be unavailable to lenders in the Dharma ecosystem, given the challenges inherent to employing legal resources in the context of international lending and, especially, developing world lending.

With no collateral, I'm not sure how this can really work.
But I haven't seen these posts before so your argument is obviously invalid :p

I'm not saying that it never happened but that it wasn't the case that she was mentioned in every other flamewar about politics.

From hn.algolia.com, excerpts from all "Ayn Rand" posts in the last 10 days, except replies to these posts:

Was there ever a honest belief by anyone (except the Ayn Rand fanboys) this could work?

Yeah, that would be great in the Ayn Rand's fantasy land

I had a coworker who was a hardcore Ayn Rand type who had a real harsh point of view like this, until his infant was born with a congenital heart defect that resulted in hospitalization for 3-4 months. [this one actually isn't dumb]

HN is nothing but startup bros, armchair economists, and card-carrying Ayn Rand fan club members.

For an entire generation community-oriented principles, egalitarianism, collectivist ideas, and far-left leaders were demonized as Soviet sympathizers, replaced with rah rah unregulated capitalism, Ayn Rand-ian individualist, and military might. [tl;dr, might be reasonable]

Nobody cares about your Ayn Rand pablum anymore. Argue on morals that have any grounding at all in the real world.
