Until they murder someone you care about. I sincerely believe there is a reason that people behind bars are behind bars. I don't believe the feel-good narratives about noble prisoners who just had a bad turn in life, especially these days where people with long rap sheets are routinely set free to re-offend at will. I've seen them up close--there's not 1 in 20 that I feel sorry for. Every story is one of a downward spiral where numerous opportunities for betterment were passed up due to a messed up brain. The ones who want to improve themselves have chances to do so, but they tend to drink or use drugs, re-align with their criminal buddies, and re-offend.

ETA: I have to emphasize, this is the same bs that allows ISIS to continue to conduct successful terror operations in the first world. Either decide that you want civilization, or get the hell out of the way for people who do and stop calling us fascists when it's more about taking out the trash.

They haven't gotten out of research in the Area at all, their labs are still among the leading ones in many different subareas (the director of the Zurich Lab gave a talk at my University just recently). They also continue to develop both their Power 9 and Mainframe processors.
Oh, alright. We are speaking about two different things. I was thinking about compilation and specifically supporting complex language features which are mostly handled by a compiler frontend which is this case is clang. And it seems that you are thinking about runtime libraries (or the whole tool chain).
NJ also has the most people per square meter than any other state so that might be misleading. Also many of them might live in NJ but work in NYC/Philly

Not trying to diss NJ though, it definitely gets a bad rap from a few trashy people. They're in NYC and Philly too but Jersey seems to get blamed for it.

Pros and Cons of Using a “.io” Domain for SaaS and Startups
Flo Rida's 'Where Them Girls At' will leave you disturbed then.
1. is identical on linux distros. How many licenses are you using right now? Probably 20+ distinct licenses as a lowball guess. It's not easy to figure this out, and if it's something you and others really want, i'm sure a standard could be thought up to be able to on-demand get a list of software licenses used in a project which could then be built into browsers similar to sourcemaps.

2. might be more possible with WASM than it is with minified JS since WASM has a text mode which is very readable.
It is humid and warm in NYC but it hasn't been this year yet. But it will come and the inside of apartments will be amplified.

Most building are side by side with no windows on the side. And unites tend to only have windows on a single side which means it's impossible to get airflow.

As for radiators some can be adjusted but many are binary, either on or off. You could always turn one off for awhile too. They stay warm for quite awhile when off.

No I'm very alien to the PHP ecosystem. Valet seems to be Mac-only. I'm a happy Windows user who has some Linux servers to play around. It would be very nice to have a step-by-step manual installation guide, then who knows, maybe you would get a pull-request with a Dockerfile! :)

> But why oh why did they have to specify FOUR normalization forms?

Ignoring compatibility normalizations there are really only two and neither of those two you can remove. So that's a bit of an odd question. If you want to remove the compatibility forms that's fair but nobody is force to use them. You can consider them "partially normalized" or "not normalized at all" for all intents and purposes

nope, its not just an anecdotal example, its an entire country, and multiple countries in Europe do this now. They are collectively intelligent enough to agree everyone is better off when you enable people for success instead of punishment, torture, emotional and social isolation, abuse, lack of food and healthy outlets, and give them access to a job, a sense of pride, and allow them to reabilitate themselves.

but this is all based on a deep rooted belief that most people are good, and crime is usually a result of low income/and growing up in places stuck in a cycle of socioeconomic hopelessness (atleast the kind of crime people are imprisoned for, weve already established wallstreet bankers commit crime and dont go to prison), taking people out of these toxic environments and equipping them with a job where they are exposed to society and have a chance to rebuild their lives is beneficial, for them, and society as a whole.

In U.S. politics we have 300million people binned into two extremist views and prison reform is'nt trending hot on twitter right now and if it was it would be used as a litmus test to pit half the country against the other and a debate about whether people deserve the life they have or can better themselves and deserve to be treated better and we all know how that has played out in politics recently. bigotry and stereotyping win.

It is involuntary (all punishment is!), but it's not servitude in the same sense that slavery is. If you want to call that "slavery" nonetheless, that's up to you, but you'd be equivocating. There is a difference between slavery as an institution of unjust forced submission and "slavery" as just punishment for crimes committed.
> Engineering professors are incentivized not to teach undergraduates -- indeed, there's a whole system of reward and punishment around the assignment of teaching duties. A light load is coveted, and the most elite professors manage to teach as few as two courses per year.

I wonder if this has to do with the type of school. Where I went to college, the dept. chair on down rotated through the intro programming classes and then taught their speciality classes. The school definitely focused on teaching above research though that can also have downsides.
I think the different perspectives on this would line up with the personality testing from C. Jung. (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp)

This seems like something I may use. I have terrible memory, so I never remember birthdays, anniversaries or even my own doc appointments.

Tangentially related: I wonder what the fallout is for the average person who may get discovered using this. I could see someone catching flack for having software send them reminders of things that "should be important enough to remember". Then again, what's wrong with using technology to help me enrich my relationship with others?

Is that common? I have this problem of making lists of things that I want to do, but typically it doesn't get much further than that. I feel like a constantly plan, but never do anything.

Also, I agree regarding those that may have selectively published, it doesn't mean that they weren't incredibly prolific.

What are the odds they just drive a truck full of nuts to Mexico?

According to https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/fhwahop12015/ch2.htm there is random inspection on the US side for theft and then random customs in Mexico. Prior to the US starting theft inspections, an insider on the Mexico side would make it work pretty well.

Another possibility is faking the identification and paperwork when picking up a shipment. Disappearing a fake truck is probably easier than disappearing a real one.
I wonder where the world is going with this. At first glance it looks like webassembly is a potential faster replacement for javascript in the browser. However, javascript is an increasingly popular language everywhere. I'm not sure people will want to move away from it for most development. The part that is actually causing performance problems with web application is the HTML/CSS/DOM layer which was not designed as a UI widget library but as a document rendering and styling framework.

Webassembly/Webgl standardization enables the creation high performance replacements for HTML/CSS/dom.

We might end up with applications that are still mostly written in javascript but that call into new webassembly/webgl ui frameworks for rendering instead of into the html/css/dom layer.
There's the well-known Simpson's image "do it for her"[1].

I'm confused as to who he's writing for as it seems very obvious that many people get "motivated" for work they don't enjoy because they have to support their family.

For example, every time the word "passion" is thrown around on HN, it will incite people to respond: "fuck passion... I just want to work my 40 hours and go home and spend time with my family."

Exactly. Excellent point. Moreover, you can't import any of your Facebook contacts anyway, so it's pretty pointless, and I hate relying on third parties.
Maybe https://nim-lang.org would make sense for you? It's GC'd but compiles to C. I've been meaning to try it out and try compiling to WASM when I get a chance.

This brings up a question I've been meaning to ask when the topic came up, because I know almost nothing about GC. How does nim (a GC'd language) compile to a non-GC'd language? And since this is a thing that's possible (unless I'm misunderstanding, which is likely), why does WASM need to add support for GC (http://webassembly.org/docs/gc/#native-gc)?

That's the same everywhere of course. In some countries it's just more blatant and short-sighted than in others.

Yyep! And all those pointless bullshit requirements are in place so that plenty of pissy little parasites get to collect their bribes.

I've been thinking about this. First step would be an API. Second step would be to either me learn Cocoa, ObjC or .NET to do this on the phones/desktops apps, etc..., or let the community do it.
Unfortunately, most Mac ports of games have lower performance (sometimes up to 50%) and less features than their Windows counterparts. Even A+ ports like CS:GO look different (some shaders disabled?) and don't feel nearly as good to play. I doubt these Metal eGPUs will be cross-platform. Unless you're using them for professional work, I think it will be better to just get something like the Akitio Node and use it in BootCamp.
CCDC gives approx 10 days a month gain time to all sentenced inmates regardless of if you work or not.

Actually working for the jail only provides you the opportunity to LOSE gain time, not get more.

If you refuse to work, you get up to 15 days in solitary confinement (the box, or I simply call it "jail" because its actually jail inside of jail) and lose 5 days of gain time, thus adding 5 days to your sentence.

However, it does not end there...one of the CO's that worked security in the kitchen often threatened to contact your sentencing judge and ask for extra time for screwing up in the kitchen.
Having two sets of APIs, one that does not mess with paths and one that does or adds other constraints, will cause all kinds of funky problems.
For APFS it will be high-level-API using applications not being able to open certain files or using the wrong file[0], like stated.

You got a similar siltation with NTFS where the file system supports long paths while the userland WinAPI does use a much smaller length limit (unless you jump through "\\?\ hoops, which does not work for relative paths), which renders certain files "unopenable" by certain applications.

[0] Regarding opening the wrong files, anybody remember the Android zip vulnerabilities? https://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-8219321-androi...
It's not that hard to imagine that some macOS software does security/sanity checks on files using the low-level non-normalized API but then opens the (wrong and unchecked) file later with normalizing high level API, or vice versa. Having this API discrepancy built into your OS certainly makes these kinds of things more likely.
In other words, you think there exist situations in which it is just to enslave people. You're trying to make a distinction that literally no one else makes because you want to separate forced labor as punishment for a crime from the connotations attached to the word slavery. It's just a sleight of hand.

The problem is that most students now go to school just to get a degree, a certification of sorts. They don't want to think and they're very resistant to any teaching that not "on the test."

What's more, college students have come to view their college enrollment as a commercial exchange where they expect to get "what they paid for." Unfortunately, for them, that's not critical thinking skills, but a "good" piece of paper that can get them a job.

Critical thinking can't be quantified or measured on a multiple-choice test, and is therefore becoming highly unpopular with students in even the best universities
I'm a fan of FB login. In practice it's pretty trivial to maintain once it's set up, I don't recall ever having to do any updates to an FB login system once set up.

It's nice that I don't have to create yet-another-password for a new app as well. I use a password manager so it's not a big deal for me, but for other users it could be so they may just use a shared password and having FB login would be a way to have them not do that.
It's free for now. I wanted first to see if there is an interest. The product is open source, so it'll be free forever anyway. I like the GitLab approach - free for everyone, but perhaps put some way to monetize this. I just have NO idea how. I honestly didn't think about it, because I wanted to have a side project that would be useful for people, and I don't know if people need this.

How about paying what it's worth for labor instead of expecting to get 'cheap' labor?

Yesterday people expected cheap construction labor, today they complain there's not enough cheap home nurses around. I wonder if they'll aim for cheap software development labor tomorrow.

I wonder why I don't feel entitled to cheap caviar and cheap yachts?
Wait why is a file name a sequence of bytes? Why is it not a sequence of bytes that form a valid string in some encoding, so that you can just refuse some file names? Who refuses invalid characters such as invisible characters or "/"? Would not the same place be a good place to refuse anything that doesn't normalize to the same byte sequence, or an even stricter subset?

Oh, and server costs is Linode (love Linode) on their 10$ monthly plan. This kind of product does not need expensive server anyway, it's pretty basic.
Agreed.

There's an interesting difference between overlay paywalls like Wired uses, and content-not-loaded walls like WSJ uses. In the Wired case, they text is sent to you but they try to stop you from reading it. In the WSJ case, they don't even send you the text of the page you supposedly clicked on.

Since we're in the second case, this isn't even a decision by Google. The WSJ actually isn't sending you the data in the search result snippet, so the crawler rightly says "wow, nothing useful here". The complex, ideal solution might let me tell Google "search as though I'm a WSJ member", but short of that they're accurately assessing what content is actually available.
IMHO: You want to pivot this product, now, to compete with ourfamilywizard.com. OFW is a great concept but the site runs slow, its search and reporting is erratic and basic, and the UI can be difficult. It is, however, the only game in town for managing divorced families and its about $200 per year. It also features:

- Timestamped and hashed communications and records.
- Lower price point than OFW.
- More intuitive reporting.

This will NOT have widespread appeal under its current use, and will be tough to make money from.

It seems to me like the kind of thing where a 30 day free trial followed by a small monthly fee ($5? I don't know, something in that ballpark perhaps) might work - if people enjoy using it and become dependent on it during the trial, at least a portion of them will be okay with paying afterwards.
Call me cynical, but I find the term CRM pretty wrong. Yes, I understand what it does, people have been keeping track of this stuff (if I read the intro page correctly) for ages, and still I find this borderline creepy and overengineered.

The last election cycle and the conservative party is not reflective on intelligence. (Granted the party has had and currently has vocal people who are 1. aren't well educated and 2. are incredibly intolerant 3. a mixture of both)

Politics relies on playing on people's confirmation biases and it works. Trump is not the only one who did that. Politicians won't debate fact because they can be wrong, and also they can be proven wrong. (From there their opponiate can harp on that and use people's confirmation bias to discredit)
