I've long thought that there was a creation of trust when the firm is created and it remains small, and another breakdown of trust when the firm becomes huge. So I think the fundamental transactional cost analysis applies when, say, the firm is small enough to be simultaneously hugged by a very big man, but doesn't apply above the Dunbar number.
Arizhel, I have never been subjected to rape and attempted strangulation myself. But someone that I know well has.

In the country that I live in, the justice system rightly requires that guilt in criminal cases is proved "beyond reasonable doubt". In court, the accused has every reason to allege that the alleged victim was "up for it" and "consenting" and "enjoyed it".

The victim who "lets it drop" in these circumstances may be selfish - but they aren't stupid when they weigh the cost to themselves of an adversarial court case against the gain to themselves of a rape conviction. In an ideal world all women would feel strong enough to testify in a rape case but maybe this isn't an ideal world.

Testifying that someone raped you isn't like testifying that someone stole your wallet. It's way more intimate and personal and dangerous.

To the thread starter - I am so sorry that your friend was raped and killed. Please look after yourself and talk to someone about how you are feeling.
So about UWP: Browsing the Microsoft website, I see that you can develop in C++.
But can you do OpenGL apps with UWP?
Or is Direct3D the only way to do 3D for the UWP platform?
If it is, it kinda makes porting from Android/iOS/Linux to UWP too hard to be practical.

So what would you use for declaring a variable that won't be assigned to until lower scope? Like a variable that will be assigned inside a try/catch block but needs to outlive it so it's declared before the try?

Just

let x

? That looks weird. Or we're back to "var". Or throwing another keyword at x?

let x exist

Also weird. I've often dreamed of a nice lua-like math with syntax aimed at being familiar to a first year college math student, and "let" is an obvious keyword for variable declaration, but unless you go pure functional you need to be able to pre-declare variables.

> In any case, the DNC having ruined Sanders, what have you got that's better?

The DNC didn't "ruin" Sanders; he's still the most popular politician in the country, and the faction of the party that looks to him as a major leader is stronger than any time (and the neoliberal faction, while still more powerful, weaker than at any time) since Bill Clinton and his "Third Way" swept the neoliberals to dominance in the 1990s.

(It's also weird that you'd target "progressives" for your complaints; even insofar as the problem you complain about exists in the Democratic Party, it's about partisan tribalism which cuts across the ideological divides in the party, and, tomthe extent it ties to ideology at all, typically—particularly in the most recent cycle—morr associated with the strongly partisan members of the neoliberal faction rather than the progressive faction. (In fact, the ignoring a large part of the country has been a key complaint by the progressive faction against the neoliberal faction since the latter became prominent.)
An additional anecdote from high school three years ago
(take it with a grain of salt)

There was a person in my CS class where we built a virtual computer using Python. Almost weekly I saw her cheating, yet during her spare time she devoted that saved time to a side project that won her an award and some publicity.

Starting from then I've learned to focus less on the grade and more on actual projects that are challenging enough that I have to learn.
Ask HN: A year to do my own thing – how should I prepare?
My partner has got an amazing job offer (for a year-ish) in an area that doesn't have many software engineering opportunities. I'd like to take that time to do something I've always wanted - start my own company, preferably building a SaaS product.

I have a full-time job now as a software engineer in the bay area. There's a year and three months before we leave California.

What can I do now to prepare? What skills should I learn? What books should I read? Has anyone here done this before and do you have any advice?
Interestingly most of the things I described as illegal, became illegal in the last 20 years. Tackling at top speed, in groups, etc is all fair game in Rugby, and frequent. But since you are not wearing a helmet, you put your head to the side of a player when you tackle! As for getting into Rugby, there are a lot of subtle rules around contact which can make it seem quite complicated and inaccessible.

In the UK Rugby fills an interesting social space. In southern England Rugby Union is a game played by posh schools (and indeed named after one), and remained amateur(ish) until 1995, in Wales it was a working class game and a way-of-life. In northern England they play a completely different game called 'Rugby League' which was always professional, further north in Scotland they play rugby Union again. In Ireland again it is associated with posh schools and English occupation! Occasionally (as is the case this summer) all of the nations team up as the 'British and Irish Lions' to go and take on the mighty All-Blacks of New Zealand, or in other years Australia and South Africa. It does strike me that with several US sports you seem deprived of the drama of regular international competition...
Flat is the new up
Presumably a 15K Camry is a used one (New ones start at 23K) so it would make compare also compare to a used Tesla. Used Model S' can be bought for as little as 40-46K, depending on where you buy[1].

Assuming electricity costs ~1/3 for the same distance as gas, then the used Tesla starts to make some sense, even when compared to the Camry (While being a much nicer car to drive).

"But then Galileo made the troubling discovery that the heavier stone does not fall any faster than the lighter one."

It does fall faster, if you drop both stones in the atmosphere; the heavier stone has more mass per unit of surface area, to better overcome a constant level of air resistance.

Aristotle's physics were based on pretty accurate observation of the pre-industrial world, although they're surprisingly short on first principles. The really serious shortcomings were mostly related to impetus, the Aristotelian theory of motion -- it accidentally models friction well for objects in continuous contact with the ground, but it's very hard for Aristotelian physics to explain why an arrow keeps flying after it leaves the bowstring, and even gains speed after its apogee.
> I don't know about you, but I would never, ever count on the government running anything more efficiently than the private sector. This is a bad idea.

It depends on the bureaucracy of each country, but for countries in the top 10 of the HDI [1] who have proven they can run effective public organisations (perhaps excluding the US who are tied with Canada at #10) I'd say that because their governments can play the long game i.e. not be hamstrung by fiduciary duty -- to constantly deliver profits in the short term -- they can focus on more abstract ways of capturing value.

In a metaphorical sense private banks are forced to feed on the lowest-risk, fastest ROI food which allows them to merely live another day and repeat the process over and over while government-run banks can eat foods that require more time to digest but reap greater rewards due to the circular nature of that ecosystem. A more successful, gainfully employed community is one that is less of a burden to the government, and an effectively funded government can further aid communities.

Right now, that's probably the best way to go if you're keen to build non-trivial wasm stuff, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that it'll stay that way. There's a Rust implementation now, for instance. And some talk of better support for garbage collected languages.
Cosmo Worlds was the tool I used to get my sister a job. I downloaded Cosmo Worlds and I paid for it. Around £450 pounds in 1998? We spent the weekend building a VRML version of her CV with all those things Cosmo Worlds was brilliant at, spatial sound, things that moved, lousy lighting that cried out for a GPU.

My sister had rocked up fairly homeless the week before, we put a solid 36 hours on CosmoWorlds and my sister ended up in an awesome career thanks to what was on that one floppy disk - VRML.

The ambition of Cosmo Worlds was something else, we ended up with a flat web instead.

I thank you sir for Cosmo Worlds!!!

The Meaning of the FY18 Exascale Request – A Former Insider’s Perspective
My layman's guess is something that combines the two. larger immutable storage using B-Tree's (or similar), and more live data using log structured stuff. With semi-regular promotion of data from log to b-tree and eventual clean-up of data no longer referencable in the b-tree.
Nice work. Odd that you would be ahead of Google though. They pulled only the apps mentioned in the article so far.

Right, that was always a big problem.
This issue is pernicious in the biological sciences. Evolution is often depicted as having a will and is referred to as a marvelous creator which completely misses the point of evolution, a system driven by simple instructions that over time create emergent complexity (like a cellular automata). People assume that their is some mechanism for adaptation exercised. Adaptation happens at the species level and the only thing exercised is survival.

I have an electric car in the US and a 60+mi/day commute. My new electric car is so so so much cheaper to operate. It's actually below half the cost of using my older but still quite efficient Prius.

It'll still take time for me to see savings over a car in the $20-$30k range. But in terms of daily operating costs for equivalent priced cars I'm there. Gas prices can only go up and electrical storage is on a downward trend.
As someone that studied on Universities that prefer OOP first approach, I would disagree.

Design skills can be only learned through experience. Understanding what abstraction to apply is something you would learn after many "failed surgeries". You can only learn this on the job and by reading a lot of code.

Writing efficient software is impossible without understanding machine. Without knowing how things are represented in memory or how compilers/OS works you will never write good software. You will end people that do not understand how event loop in node.js work or write thread safe Java.

Just ask few practical question about Promises, Heap, GC, Threads and you will see blank faces from the same people that just white-boarded DFS.

It seems weird to focus the risks of a good attempt when the greater risk seems to be from far earlier uses of weaker AI from corporations that aren't invested in using these safeguards at the cost of lower profits.

> In the end, this all is just reinventing the JVM, in slower, but more secure

More secure?
Yes, I agree with this. In SWI-Prolog, in addition to library(persistency), there are already some published results on transaction support for the internal database, which will give you some features that facilitate such use cases. This is already available and in fact also running for production web apps, but currently only for the RDF database. It is true that if you need more advanced functionality that dedicated database systems readily give you, then you have to wait until such features become available in SWI-Prolog, pay for their implementation, or resort to using an external database for which there often are bindings.
Agreed, the SSH client is a bit of an outlier since you have that natively.

I still listed it for completeness, I do use it, after all.
I drive SF to SJ on the reg in a Bolt. With a 220 charger I recover charge overnight. My other commute is SF to Mountain View, I can recover that at night with a standard outlet set to 12A mode.

Its interesting to me because I'm conflicted to how to raise my children. There are a lot tiger moms around and you have to be confident that pushing kids academically might not be the best thing to do.

My touchstone is my super academic cousin who has always topped their class in ivy league universities and who is also one of the most screwed up and unhappy people I know.

So any article that says top grades aren't the best thing to strive for is worth reading. Self selecting I'm sure but a good counter balance to what is out there.
The compute stick I was referring to is the BOXSTK2m3W64CC which has a Intel Core m3-6Y30 processor. The RAM is really the issue, 4GB only. I run Kodi on it 99% of the time.

Questions...

This is civil, so a preponderance of evidence is the burden here. Can he fight that at all without talking? Google has a ton of evidence that he 'downloaded' a lot of stuff. It's not a big jump to see Otto/Uber made a tremendous amount of progress pretty rapidly too. I'm not the judge but being an engineer, knowing other engineers, hearing Google's story about the data he took, seeing the dollar figures, it seems damning. What evidence is there to the other side if he won't explain things?

> SATA

ext3 predates SATA, briefly. While SATA was commonly used with ext3 soon after ext3's release, a lot of the hardware Ted Ts'o is probably referring to would have been ATA-4/UDMA (or SCSI).

> while the CPU is still executing instructions

The problem Ts'o described doesn't involve the CPU:

DRAM tends to go insane and starts returning
garbage long before the DMA engine and the hard
drive stops functioning.

A bus-mastering ATA (or SCSI) controller - possibly on the motherboard, possibly an expansion card, regardless almost certainly PCI - may be copying data from RAM directly as Direct Memory Access.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is, especially when cheap, poorly-designed hardware is involved.

> Particular to have cleaner diffs. But why for function calls?

Exactly the same reason :)
Yes it doesn't handle the error case.

And if you replace the if(err) lines with a log(...) function it doesn't reduce them to one place. It makes you repeat the log(...) function everywhere. And you'd still need the if statement to handle the control flow.

Simple code is great, but not handling errors doesn't cut it for non throwaway applications.

The 15% seems fair. I'm not that familiar with the travel industry, how much more is that percentage compared to the commissions paid to traditional travel agencies pre-internet age? There were always,or at least very often, middlemen involved in the travel industry. Is the cut that for example Booking.com takes really that much bigger than travel agents used to take in the eighties?
The dual of this for gas cars is, "Unfortunately, still holding gas prices at their current lows and ignoring any supply issues."
That's largely orthogonal to this switch. WebAssembly can't actually do anything except for compute and access whatever its embedder exposes. As others have mentioned JavaScript ChromeOS apps have this API available, so WebAssembly running in that context will be able to access it.
I think if the web assembly experiment succeeds it will spawn new languages that become wildly popular. The web is huge, and client side programming is just a different animal.

We have similar rules for keeping your desk clear, electronics in your bag. I think the difference is having people walking the floor, which isn't effective if you only have 1 professor watching 50 people, in my opinion. It's also very difficult to know exactly how effective those preventative measures are, either in discouraging students from cheating or catching them when they do. It's apparently still easy enough to keep your phone in your pocket and pull it out onto your lap when you want to look something up. Honestly, I've always assumed it'd be impossible to cheat during those exams but have been proven wrong. In the most recent case, I and the person next to me were sitting in assigned seats in the front row, ~3 feet from the professor. He still wasn't caught, as far as I know. (I mentioned it to the professor near the end of the exam but she didn't catch him in the act). Even if she had, she'd have to be willing to go to the work of reporting him, attending the hearings, and doing the paperwork which historically doesn't result in getting the student expelled if it's the first time they've been caught.

Lockers seems like a good way to prevent it, although phones are still easily hidden in a jacket pocket so you'd have to ban bulky clothing too.
Postman recently released a Native App, fwiw
They're fixing things that aren't obviously broken and have served us well for many, many years. That alone is enough to make me sit up and take notice. But in several cases they've then created issues this way.

It's purportedly a replacement for Sysvinit/upstart. There's massive scope creep going on. Among a zillion other things, it now includes its own DHCP server.

It's generally looked down upon to scrap an entire codebase because "eh, it's old legacy code, we can do better". And systemd is running into a lot of issues that demonstrate why that's a rule of thumb.
Ask HN: I'm leading the app development as a jr dev. How do I not screw this up?
I've only been coding professionally for a year. I know how to write some basic server code, am familiar with rest apis, have built a few web applications with react and angular, and have a general understanding of full stack development. I have no college degree.

My professional job that I code for doesn't pay me that well, so I work in the evenings as a cashier at a family owned restaurant, they have 7 other locations. I met the owner and told him I have some ideas for web apps that can solve some of their problems.

After having a meeting with the owner today, he said he has at least a year of development work for me and that I will be leading in creating apps that work with all of his store locations. By leading, I will be doing almost 100% of the development by myself.

Apps that will be built: for inventory management and ordering, employee training, customer surveys, and others that are related to running a restaurant businesses. I told him there would be value in gather all the data from these apps and use it for understanding how to improve the business (data science).

This is obviously a great opportunity for me. My employer is aware that I'm at a junior level, but wants to give me a shot to grow with the company. I'm stoked.

How do I not screw this up?
Not the OP, but with HTML5 video in modern browsers, you can't simply escape obnoxious auto-play videos by disabling/never installing RealPlayer/Shockwave/Flash/etc.

Chrome Apps were great because they worked on all (desktop) platforms.
