Maybe because it takes most people hundreds or thousands of hours to learn a natural language, but the average programmer can get a basic understanding of a new programming language over a weekend? Plus, there's arguably no advantage of one natural language over another, whereas different programming languages can make very different tradeoffs.
Hi,

Most people failed to make money online because they don't have a proven system that works for them...

Good news is, this system has helped more than 100 ordinary people, including newbies to make real money.

You can be one of them too:

http://rurl.us/v1GxM

The best part is...

-You don't need to write or produce any unique content

-You don't need to create any products to sell

-You don't need to write up any sales letters

-You don't need to provide any customer service or follow up support

-You don't even need to learn about internet marketing!

See how this can be done with real proof here:

Don't be left behind......
Go is more a better Python. Even simpler syntax. Types and compiles to native (as they are all the fashion now).

Rust is the best bet we have at a better C (and a better low-level C++).

High level C++ competes with D and Go. Rust is a little too specifically targetted at the low level "systems" programming.
There exists a fix for the vulnerability at the source, namely, a compiler feature that will add extra code that will "touch" every 4k page of the stack if large amount is allocated.

However, for that fix to be useful, every single distribution needs to recompile every single userland package and distribute it to every single user - i.e., instead of downloading a security patch, you need to download a new version of every executable on your hdd.

This is essentially Australia's system, lauded for it's rather strict and rigorous "points"-based immigration system. If you don't meet enough "we want you as a citizen" points, you're simply denied.

Contrast that to somewhere like the US where there are many very game-able methods of entry, like the utterly shambolic H1-B visa.
>All Tumblr blogs, including NSFW blogs, have always been viewable and indexable by external search engines through their public URL (blogname.tumblr.com) unless flagged as private/hidden (a choice of the blog owner).

There is definitely something in account settings somewhere that removes you from search results, I may have mixed that up with the NSFW flag.

>They have only been hidden from Tumblr's search engine if the user has their account set to not see adult content

As I mentioned, this is default. And "adult" blogs do not show up at all in search results on mobile.

My point stands, though. Yahoo already started making adult content harder to find (accidentally or intentionally), the momentum is already there.

A previous post on the HN front page on human behaviour lead me to recommend this book, and I think you'd be interested in it as well. (I swear I'm not a shill.)

It's called "Human Nature: The Categorical Framework" by P.M.S. Hacker. The chapter of direct interest to you is called "The Mind". https://www.amazon.com/Human-Nature-Categorial-Framework-Hac...

Hacker is a philosopher of language and of mind, and he is a very clear writer. He works in a similar method to Wittgenstein and is a scathing critic of the tendency for many (particularly in cognitive neuroscience) to remain in a Cartesian dualist mindset that is, really, 17th-century metaphysics and nonsense. His point on 'the mind' is that it is not an entity. That doesn't mean it is nothing, but that means it is not something. It is a faculty, a conceptual shorthand for our rational powers, or, as Aristotle describes the "psuchē", "the actuality of a body that has life". We alone as persons can do the things that can be attributed to a rational mind.

Reading him is like spring cleaning your mind of nonsense.

(He also has some hilarious criticisms of Chomsky and his treatment of language in the book, and its sequel.)
The problem with delegating these tasks to a service like this is the lack of accountability when your company-as-a-service provider screws up a filing or something else. If you're starting a company, responsibility for these bureaucratic matters starts and ends with you. You can hire a law firm but you still have to trust them, and you still have no meaningful recourse if they blow it. You just simply have to spend the time to learn how this stuff works. I never stop being amazed at how much money and effort people will waste just to avoid reading carefully.
Here's one I searched for just today: "helium" "futures"

DDG returns 2 results.[1] Google returns 369,000.[2]

Here's another one: "opec" "rebalancing" "peak"

DDG returns 0 results.[3] Google returns 319,000.[4]

There have been many, many others. I can email you them as I run in to them, if you want. Just let me know what email address to use.

Also, just to clarify, I noticed the change maybe 3 or 4 months (not weeks) ago.

Ha! I had the exact opposite.

I used DDG a while when it was introduced. But returned back to google since the results were no as good.

But recently I was feeling googles results has got a lot worse and gave DDG another try.

Big difference! Like Google vs Yahoo back in the days.

Now DDG is my default search.

I don't buy it. It simplifies motivation down to a boolean.

BJ Fogg teaches a Persuasion Techniques course at Stanford. His model describes the threshold at which a person will perform an action as a curve on a motivation / difficulty chart.

Persuasion (the act of making someone else more likely to do something) requires reducing the difficulty of that thing, increasing the motivation of the person, or both.

If the guy might be interested in programming (or just being able to make a living for himself), perhaps having a mentor lowers the difficulty enough to put him over his threshold.
Maybe because people subconsciously equate the % rise in wage to % rise in out of pocket expense e.g. if wages increase $4/hour (50% increase) that means the cost to buy that shirt will increase by 50%

It's not quite the same though. It would be more like if the store said you could pay $50 to enter and fill a cart with whatever you want, but you can use as many other carts as you want but only for their store brand items.

Then the local government comes in and says that they are the only store allowed in town.

Now, is it fair to General Mills that they have to compete with the store brand cereal when the store brand is effectively free and there is no way for General Mills to get their cereal to you any other way?
This sounds really interesting -- can you share anything else, or pieces of the pipeline...especially topic modeling?
I don't think your 'small rural town' metaphor is solved by removing net neutrality. From the provider's point of view, who cares if someone is using up 1000 packets of youtube or 1000 packets of nytimes? They cost the same from the provider's stand point (unlike 1kg lobster vs 1kg of bread for a restaurant). Filtering by content doesn't change anything, network providers can already charge by amount of traffic. If they can't provide enough, they can raise prices, free market style.

The issue with removing net neutrality is that it enables censorship and removes 'the free market' of the internet. The internet provider doesn't like your political blog? Well now they can wall it off under a addon package just like cable TV. Facebook makes an exclusive deal with the internet provider? Now Twitter is locked behind an addon package or completely unavailable.

You might say, "well people will just use a different internet provider!". The problem with that is that many places in the USA only have one, maybe two providers to chose from; So it's not like a restaurant where they can just go somewhere else.

You might say, "well more internet providers will be created if no-one likes the current ones!". But its very expensive to create a network of fiber optic cables. Billions of dollars, maybe trillions. A start-up can't just 'interrupt' the market. And usually when a new internet provider is created, they have to lease the big-company lines just work. And you can bet if they make that deal with existing companies they'll have to accept big-company's traffic policies.

The combination of ranges and UFCS led to it just naturally falling out of the language design. It looks like this (adapted from a LINQ example[1]):

auto names = [ "Burke", "Connor", "Frank", "Everett", "Albert", "George", "Harris", "David"];
names.filter!(a => a.length == 5)
.array // convert from lazy range to array so we can sort
.sort!()
.map!(a => a.asUpperCase)
.joiner("\n")
.writeln;

Ranges enable lazy processing with efficient static dispatch against arbitrary types of ranges. Those individual algorithm functions are basically all template functions that return types tailored to match the input which allows the lazy evaluation to work. When writeln asks for the first element to print it asks joiner which asks map which asks asUpperCase and so on. The results are calculated upon request, not in advance, which helps you forgo a lot of memory allocations for storing temporary results.

UFCS lets you call a function as if it were a member of the first parameter (i.e. fun(x, y) -> x.fun(y)). This lets you write it as if it were chain rather than a series of inside out function calls (i.e. `writeln(joiner(map!(a => asUpperCase(a)(sort!()(array(filter!(a => a.length == 5)(names)))), "\n"))`).

There is exactly two memory allocations in all of that. Once for the initial array and again prior to sorting because it's not reasonable to sort a lazy range. We could have reused the initial array by eagerly removing the items being filtered from it if we wanted.

Why do people seriously believe that presidential administrations are motivated by petty childishness? Do people really believe it to be possible that someone incompetent could make it as far as the presidency?

There's far more going on that we are unaware of, be it malice or good intentions, thus it is absurd to believe that our leaders are man children. We are too far removed from primary sources to know the truth.
I'm not an American but as an outsider it's so odd to see the anti-Obama stance this government is taking. Look at the US economy coming out of 2008. From my perspective it's done quite well. Unemployment has gone from 10% to 4%, GDP has climbed. S&P and US stocks in general have done exceptionally well. It seems like whatever Obama did was working. Do the Republicans think they can do better? Why not just ride their coat tails to glory?
Can I say that I had the inverse experience where an Uber driver drove off with something that I left in the trunk of the car.

Banks aren't in the business of offering APIs because there's little incentive to do so. Even if there were a lack of talented technology-based employees, that likely wouldn't prevent APIs from being developed.

The issue of incentive boils down to the fact that business clients, being the main source of revenue for retail banks, simply aren't making enough noise about their desire for APIs.

There are three visibility flags for Tumblr blogs:

- Allow this blog to appear in search results

- Flag this blog as adult-oriented

Either of the first two flags would obscure the blog from search engines, but the latter one has never.
This analysis doesn't give the speaker any room to challenge the listener's expectations about what is possible. If the listener thinks a thing is impossible (particularly in a way that sounds potentially hyperbolic or humorous), the speaker can no longer use the word "literally" to clarify their meaning.

Worse, as usage of the second meaning grows, it encroaches on one's ability to use the first meaning unambiguously. If the second usage becomes more and more commonplace, with the bar constantly lowering on how unbelievable something needs to be for this usage, it affects everyone who wants to use the word functionally.

> The use of it with its meaning as an intensifier of a figurative statement is only necessary (or appropriate)

That's awfully prescriptivist of you. Go with the flow, man! I'm literally done replying on this thread.
I apologize for calling your opinion vapid in my other post. Thank you for taking the time to articulate your ideas in this post.

I too am a proponent for free markets, but I have to point out that the telecommunications industry could care less about free market principles.

For the last hundred years telcos have consistently lobbied the federal government for regulations that lock out competition. They pretend regulation prevents them from performing as well as they could, but the last thing they want is a minimally regulated market with a low barrier to entry.

The only reason we're even having this conversation is because there was a small window of opportunity in the 90's to pass smart Telco laws that both regulated and deregulated divergent aspects of the industry. First, because the incumbent telcos enjoyed monopolies for nearly 50 years, they were obligated to lease parts of their networks to resellers like local ISPs.

Had this not happened, the larger telcos and service providers could have choked the early Internet and giving us networks like AOL/MSN instead.

If you truly believe in the virtue of free markets, you need to understand that powerful politically connected companies do not and they can be some of the biggest opponents of free markets while they pretend they are.

Not sure if the parent comment was being serious to be honest. If not, then, well, they are very tragic.

A sizeable portion of HN users are technical middle class citizens and seem on the face of it often highly separated from the working class, who they mine the metals for their self-driving car batteries and fold their $12 burrito, and drive their Ubers (for now).

Having said that a lot of HN is very modest and objective, so you bad sorts like parent comment and good sorts...like anywhere.

Yeah, that's how capital markets work in general. If you can charge more and still find a tenant, you're replacing low-value land use with higher-value land use. This is particularly true in commercial real estate. Though that's kind of a side issue to my original point: the excess profits attracts and incentivizes similar investment, which increases the cost of investment, which lowers profit down to the general waterline of the economy.
However, if you do not, your investors can sue you and win, no?
? "I don't think kotlin is TypeScript." ?

I don't either. What are you talking about?
It is not bad per se, but it is not what the internet is. The moment they start charging based on content is the moment that it becomes something different.

Right now is like a public road, with free and equal access for every body, and thus, an economy can be built around it. If you change it to the store model, it morphs from an economy to a business, and businesses are not capable of supporting an entire economy built on top, so it won't.
