Because the Universities have an interest in the whole process. My kids got a University education, but overall it isn't worth it. Neither of them use their degree. Not saying don't go to college, but you really need to think it out. A Bachelors in Lesbian/Gay Studies, or any useless degree like this for example, doesn't have many career opportunities after graduation. Young folks leave school with so much student loan debt that something is going to have to give.

I started college, but quit. I've been lucky/smart in my career. I started out in the Army and moved to Federal LEO that didn't require a degree. During the 90's I took a buyout and shifted into IT.(Still don't have a degree) Went back into the Army in 2007 and left in 2009, broken. (BTW I have Post 9/11 GI Bill, and still don't go.) Was tired of IT and ironically thought I would drive a truck. As the NYT article stated, what a thankless job. People treat you as second class citizens and the pay was horrible. Back to IT where I make a very good living and live in a suburb working in that suburb. 20 minute commute most days. Yes housing is expensive, but I have a rural property that is my refuge. Yes if I lived there, I would be hard pressed to find work. The only grocery store is a Piggly Wiggly that can't be more than 10k square feet. There farthest parking space is as close as the disabled ones at WalMart, so you need to be content with limited restaurants and stores and you pretty much have to have a car. I see people walking here and there, but that isn't something many can do.

As side note, my rural county has only two permit requirements. Electrical and Septic. I can build a house out of Popsicle sticks and no one would say boo about it.

Some observations on human nature, based on first hand experience. This is anecdotal evidence, but I have family members, friends and neighbors that have worked in factories. During conversations with them about changes taking place in their workplaces I hear about how they don't like them. Most of these changes are technological in nature. Most, not all, of these folks are too lazy to learn a new machine or process. All they want to do is come home and watch TV and many cases drink and do it all over again the next day. Go to work run a machine and make quota, go home.

These folks are smart enough to learn, but just don't want to. My Grandpa was like this. He was content to go work and straighten drills all day, go home read the paper, watch the news and go to bed. He wasn't a drinker.

I would ask him if he got bored straightening drills all day and he would just shrug. I couldn't get my mind around doing something that boring all all day. This was the 1970's BTW.

Just my 2 cents.
> Nothing ever works as soon as an engineer writes code; it is an iterative process.

One of my complaints about working in an environment where I am the only person who can program is that nobody else understands this. I've taken the time to explain this point to people, and they seem to grasp it fairly well, but once they see something that somewhat resembles the final product they get really impatient.

The last 25% of functionality takes far more time than the first 75%, especially once you consider handling edge cases, etc.
Yeah, sounds like he had some problems with honesty in the past, however he seems to really be trying to legitimize himself with Dash over the past while, so I'd give him a pass. There aren't that many people willing to reform their ways.
Judge: Not running an ad is an exercise in free speech
It winds up making humans into race horses though, ultimately pointless but done so long as there remains some irrational mystique or cultural admiration for the practice. When there isn't, like bullfighting, the sport dies out.
Which... I think is a great thing.

You think it's a great thing that there is less dialogue between people with differing opinions and more places that function as echo-chambers?

I thought this was a native app?
Thanks for the tip.

> You don't need a Google account or API key (isn't that basically the same as being logged in?)

Yeah, the key is a pain but once setup it's set and forget. Not being logged in is about not having my usage tracked at such a fine grained level - not only on my Youtube account, but across the entire Google ecosystem.
It is essentially like running Google Play Music in your Chrome browser, but as a native standalone app with some extra controls, nicer styles, and without having to use Flash.

So why not just deliver this as a plugin for Chrome that reskins Play with alternative stylesheets and so forth? At least then my OS can use COW to share memory across Chrome processes instead of requiring a dedicated WebKit instance just for Play.
My first iOS game without using an engine hit #1 RPG
Hey HN,

We’ve been working on Dawn of Crafting for 1.5 years with my brother. We’ve just launched version 1.0 and its being featured in a lot of countries on the App Store. It hit #1 RPG in a few countries like Sweden and #2 in UK.

We're also part of YC's Startup School.

Its built completely by using Native Swift and the library EZSwiftExtensions. Feel free to ask any questions regarding development.

This game is for people who like to craft. If you enjoy ancient themes and building humanity from nothing into a great civilization hands on, then Dawn of Crafting is for you.

Syria was and still is beautiful and very rich in culture.

Just a pro-Assad post

Although it is a very complicated conflict, I would argue that most Syrians like Assad and not "just speak good because their afraid of the secret police".
Just by looking at the videos [1] [2] which capture refugees voting, we can see genuinely excited people going to vote in someone they always believed. Even mainstream outlets had difficulty to capture otherwise. You can see in several places people talking like few would do of their own presidents.
Obviously it was not the perfect country like every other, and there was people dissatisfied. But what the rebels want is not democracy, is Assad out. And Islamic law.

I wonder if playing Go on a much larger board (e.g. 37 x 37) would limit the ability of AlphaGo to explore branching significantly to tip the advantage back to humans. I'm not sure if A.I. is limited by branching sizes. And would human intuition of strategy on a 19 x 19 board map easily to the strategy of a 37 x 37 board? After all, Go is still Go no matter what size the board, whereas chess can only be called chess when played on the 8 x 8 board.
I will admit that the lack of file system access was a bit difficult to get over when coming from Android - but it comes up rarely and is easy to work around (store the files on something else icloud dropbox etc..).

External storage seems to be pretty rare on Android though?

My #1 complaint about iOS is that they don't really allow other browsers.

Augmented Commerce: why so important?
This discussion got me thinking about my push habits. While I only have to type `g psh`, the actual process has more commands. I check that I'm on the correct branch, check which commits will get pushed, and maybe even the diffs of the commits. Sometimes I have to rebase, fixup, and squash stuff.

It is similar for committing, where checking diffs and partial adding is part of the process.

Using an IDE or GUI might help to streamline this. I do not use any, so I don't know if they do this.

Maybe I should analyse my shell history for sequences?
Ask HN: If .com taken what is best TLD?
Decided on name for an app but the (app name).com is (of course) taken.

.net is available so are all other TLD/ccTLD

At the moment the website would just be to tell people about the app and links to app/play store. It is possible in the future users could access some functionality of the app via the website but not any time in the next 10 months.

.net is not used a lot but would one pick that over say .io? Could also have (app name)APP.com or get/join/use (app name).com though down the line that would not be as good.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

btw the .com has been registered for 12 years but is not in use.
Note that semicon roadmaps nowadays are primarily a marketing tool, There's a strong disconnect with current and near future state of the art engineering capabilities. the newly spun-out Samsung foundry company is going head to head with TSMC and Intel, and they will promise anything as all parties are aiming to lock in as many as possible customers into their proprietary workflows.
once they see something that somewhat resembles the final product they get really impatient.

(Especially for internal tool) Is it possible that what they've seen is, actually, good enough?

Or at least, good enough to solve 90% of the problem while you fill in the missing piece that covers the rest.
Hacking Ruby's Net::HTTP to Support X509 Client Certificate Chains
This is from their $100B fund though, which has primarily non-Softbank LPs.
Yeah, and last year they had a session called Extending your App with Safari App Extensions (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/214/), as well as Apple Pay on the Web (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/703/). So they still do have the occasional web-related session. But for the most part there's not much need to be talking about web stuff at WWDC, because most development of the web stuff happens in the open already throughout the entire year, and WWDC isn't being attended by web developers anyway, it's being attended by app developers.

I don't crave any drastic change. I realized long ago that society is not a thing I can fix. So I changed myself, to not get so upset whenever confronted with more evidence that life is not fair. It doesn't really matter to me that the US elected a reality-show host as its President, because "the US" never really belonged to me. The illusion I carried of it in my head was never real. The real US doesn't care one infinitesimal iota for what I think. I'm just a kook, with no valuable insights whatsoever. Historically, the US has been generally content to leave me alone, as long as I pay more than the minimum measure of tribute, and don't stir up trouble. Abandon the illusion, and you lose all the cognitive dissonance that it fuels.

So have yourself a revolution. Or don't. Or rearrange the deck chairs and rename the ship. Do any of those things, but you're still caught up in the shared delusions of tribalism writ large.

Vonnegut said it best: "To find the substance of a granfalloon, just prick the skin of a toy balloon."

Every four to eight years, there is a great heaving shift in what people think they are supposed to be, with little to no fundamental basis in reality. Real wages have been stagnant in the US since the 1970s. Technology is better. Environmental catastrophe looms taller. Younger people agitate, and older people dissipate. Charlatans and con men ply their trade on the unsuspecting. Those who wish to eat must work, even if the work is gratuitous and unnecessary.

What really changes for that middle 80% of Earth's population? They gain freedom of speech? No one is listening. Freedom to own property? They can't afford to buy it. Freedom to cross borders? The available work-for-hire can move away faster than you can chase it. All the while, people like Putin and Trump wield the power to reduce all those people to radioactive dust without care, while meting out lesser (still deadly) consequences at whim, with even less possibility for remorse. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The tsar becomes the party leader. The shah becomes the ayatollah. The king becomes the president. Mr. Machiavelli sidles up, whispers into their ears, and the pigs move in to the farmer's house.

Tracking down a segfault in grep
Problem with a school system choosing the curriculum, is that they can filter the truth or focus on what to teach. Forget REAL history. Why did the American Civil War really start? How about Henry Ford getting an Iron Cross from Hitler in the 30's? Why did he receive it? I didn't learn this stuff in the 70's and 80's either, but stumbled upon it as I read outside of the official curriculum.

Kids nowadays have even a more PC curriculum. Lord help them. My 15 year old niece who we are raising comes home with some pretty crazy stuff that is required.

Game development also has very large files and codebases, Git LFS is sometimes not enough. This is great for everyone really but very nice for game development and larger codebases that might have lots of assets along with it.

It has occasionally been used in a racist way, yes. In that sense, it's a racist symbol, just as the numbers 12, 13, and 14 are racist symbols.

I'm a big fan of Keybase overall, but I share the annoyance of intrusive notifications. I don't really need to see a popup window of all users that pertain to my keybasefs folder every time I access it. Also, I've noticed keybasefs can be quite slow sometimes.

But these are minor annoyances in the context of a great product.
We use a rebase workflow when working with third party source code. We keep all third party code on a main git branch and we create new branches off the main branch as we rebase our changes from third party code version to version.

Then it seems to me that you're missing a third option: the bloodbath has been fuelled for years because it benefits some of the players directly or indirectly involved; and there's no greater good that justifies what's happening, only gains of one party or group over the other. Which would mean it's not incompetence and it's not for the greater good either.

> Should web developers be forced to open source all their work, whether they want to or not

Yes - that's how the web works (barring obfuscation/minificaction). And it's how wasm will work too: http://webassembly.org/docs/text-format/.
If it takes 60-80hrs/wk, then you need a better workplace regardless of nature of communication. Unless you plan to live like monk (meaning no family no friends out of work) - beware tho, monks have pretty much guaranteed membership for life you do not.

Yes, my observation is the same - the people who spend 60-80hrs at work do take all their socialization into workplace. Meaning they waste time of people who want to work at work and then go home - either because of kids or because of aging relative or because of anything else including hobbies.

The above is one more reason to avoid fun cultural workplaces. They tend to want all of you, not just your work.
Vue.js is basically just a js object wrapping a DOM node. It's claiming to be the equivalent to a full fledged MVC framework (or similar). But it only supplies the V and completely ignores the C and M. Leaving it up to you to invent your own framework on top of it. The parts that Vue.js do supply are not well thought out (Vuex is a nightmare). The parts that do work and are nice are simply straight out copied from other frameworks like Angular. When you give an average developer Vue.js as the only tool you end up with the same kind of code you get when trying to write a complex SPA with jquery: a Single-Pile-of-shit-App.
Brexit is TBD. Seriously. The thing hasn't been implemented yet (hardly even an implementation strategy exists), so calling it for the worse is premature.
