The problem is that when anyone can speak equally how do you tell the sage apart from the village idiot.

This is why fox news survived as fox.com along with most of the existing journalistic culture of never digging too deep into something the authorities are going to react to badly to having dug up survived the transition from airwaves to Internet. You might have some blogger somewhere knowing the truth but you also have some blogger somewhere who thinks the truth is something radical different then it is and when those are equal they are equally easy for the "press" to dismiss.
You misunderstand notions fundamental for what is being discussed in this thread, like power dynamics in various social situations, and confuse inappropriate behavior with honesty. It would be great if you could educate yourself on those things and read through multiple stories and researches on how views like you present affect women's and minorities lifes and careers.
I worked for a big company that spent considerable effort to migrate to an email-as-username solution. Not sure about the background but likely well researched. For big companies, these are definitely not arbitrary choices.

How about giving people the choice to choose whether they want their login to be an email or a username. It's daunting task for developers, but at the end of the day, we write code to make people's lives easier, correct?
Gmail maybe, making an account at mail.com was dead easy. On the flip side, you have to keep pointing out "mail, without a g at the beginning," so who knows if that's worth it.

Agreed. A 'fast' Python, to me, the perfect language. The changes 2 to 3 broke compatibility, but for 'pureness' sake. If speed and the deployment situation were better for python, that would be all I use. I once thought to make a compiler, but don't have the time and honestly knowhow to begin. Nuitka is trying, but also agreeing to live with compatabilty vs performance or type safety. A type safe compiled python is my dream.
If its your sister, if the police flirt with her, she will probably have an easier time in jail, maybe able to get preferential treatment. Good if you are the guilty criminal. So A.

If she is a suspect, then she would feel pressured to go along with the police's advances, because of the risk of retaliation for knocking back advances. So, B.

But for the victim of your sister's crime, she will want justice to be served, and will definitely go for B.
The question you asked was not dumb. What was dumb was replacing the question with a dot. That is against the spirit of the community and makes the people who responded to your comment feel disrespected. That guy spent time giving you a meaningful response and you replace the question with a dot?? Don't ever do that again. Ever.
A username is an additional (if somewhat trivial) authentication factor.... I like to see them anyway.
As long as I can change the email address I don't care. I've had many email addresses over the years to which I can't log in anymore.

True, but I think this problem can only be solved sustainably through education. At some point, we may just have to accept that one has to deal with some number of idiots a day and get over it. Discovery suffers dramatically, sadly.
I'm not sure I totally agree with your comments. In particular:

> Now if I push back an advance, they might get petty and decide to not hire me as some kind of revenge

I think this is precisely the reason that it's inappropriate, regardless of gender. Even if you (as a hypothetical VC) aren't going to be petty (and let's be honest, emotions are complicated and keeping feelings out of a decision is hard), you've put out the idea that your advances are somehow related to the recruitment process. This will totally make someone uncomfortable, especially when they're probably already sweating about the recruiting process.

Where can I find a list of "objectively wrong" things, and is there some kind of formal process to challenge them?

Then you visit some very unfriendly sites.

The only part of HN that is remotely easy to read on mobile are the homepage/etc list pages, which recently became slightly better to read sometimes (I don't know why but the new mobile-friendly scaling doesn't always kick in).

Those pages have zero need for a table based layout - they're vertical lists of stuff.

The comments threads are honestly terrible to read on mobile.
That resonates Peter Theil in Zero to One saying, Silicon Valley Developer-Entrepreneurs believing Good Products sell by itself with no sales and marketing effort.
Interesting. Looking forward to more comments on this.

* It looks like exceptions carry no error information. When something goes wrong, you know nothing. Is that right?

* Calling finalizers from GC is usually troublesome. They get called late, so they can't be relied to close files and such. They also have to be prevented from making trouble by doing things you can't do during GC, or "re-animating" the object being deleted. How's that handled?

* The notion that variable type is established at initialization is becoming mainstream. How about extending that to structures? The fields of structures could get their types inferred from the structure constructor. (There was a statically typed variant of Python, Shed Skin, which did this.)
Why would "makes your code run 1% faster" be a better sell than "saves you 1% development time by reducing the number of bugs"?

I've been labeled as such before, mostly because of my good looks, loud voice, and willingness to crush beers while working on things. It's possible I exude toxic masculinity, or maybe I just look like I would.

Never been "accused", so much as had the word used in an endearing way.

Ask HN: Dell XPS Developer Edition (OS Change from Windows to Linux)
Hi Guys, i recently ordered for an XPS 13 developer edition from US dell shop and my order was rejected due to the credit card as it should be issued from US when purchasing products from dell US, and now I'm thinking of buying a brand new XPS 13 with preloaded Windows and install Linux Ubuntu on it. Let me know if this would be a good idea. Buying a brand new dell with windows os and completely changing the os to linux.

> This will totally make someone uncomfortable, especially when they're probably already sweating about the recruiting process.

But from a male perspective (in the hypothetical above), I don't see it at all. I only see it as positive, and I think most males would feel the same. If there were repeated advances, then it would get a bit frustrating. And if I didn't get the job after knocking back repeated advances, then I would definitely see who I could contact about it.
You submitted this question, deleted it and again submitted it? Please don't do that, you give me bad vibes.
> Oh please, stop with the scare mentality.

This industry has a huge problem with survivorship bias. We keep encouraging people to burn themselves out doing startups that usually fail. Some cold reality is necessary, IMHO. By all means chase your dreams, but have a backup plan and don't bet anything you can't afford to lose.
This is what happens when people get rich quickly- lot's of them behave badly.

It is hardly unique to men - there are plenty of rich bitches in female dominated indsutries.

As for women being sexually harassed - that would stop immediately if they all shunned the rich guys.

Python 3 did not break compatibilty for "pureness" sake. They broke it, because for 6 billion people in the world, for whom English is not the only language, there was a very real pain (bordering on stuff that was impossible).

Most of the world is moving to unicode exactly because of this (I know Sillicon Vally companies are probably moving to unicode, so that their users can use cute emojis).

Most people also need to handle stuff that are in different encodings (I work daily in both Latin1 (north-western European) and UTF8), translating between that was painful/borderline-impossible in the old days (python 2).

The sharp distinction between bytes and strings are essential for any non-english/american/aussie person. Sadly python2 got that wrong, and hence had to die..

Which is probably also why Perl6 choose to go the same route..

If you really need a good reason to go to python 3 other than 6 billion extra potential customers, try "oh look, we have emojis" <sarcasm/>

High speed rail doesn't actually provide the eco-benefits over planes that proponents think it will. And high speed rail is only competitive against planes and cars at distances less than 500mi. Unfortunately the US is too sparsely populated and the big cities outside of the coastal corridors are too spread out for high speed rail to be economically and ecologically sensible.

The interesting thing in the UK is despite those high costs the network is running at capacity, people seem willing to pay the fares.

Given that is the case I think it's hard to justify extra subsidy for people who are clearly getting enough utility from the system.
That tends to be a more difficult sell because the counter-argument from further up is 'But we're not seeing those bugs right now, and won't we find bugs when we do this upgrade?'

Not even ultralights are required to have a transponder.

TRANSPONDER REQUIREMENTS
Do I have to install a transponder in my amateur-built aircraft?

In general, no, a transponder is not required equipment. However, if you wish to operate in class A, B, or C airspace, or at an altitude of over 10,000' MSL, or within a 30 nautical mile radius of the primary airport in class B airspace, you will need a transponder and altitude encoder (commonly referred to as "mode C"). The regulations regarding transponder and altitude-reporting requirements are found in 14 CFR 91.215.

There is an exception to the regulations as they apply to the 30 nm Mode C "veil" around the Class B airports. This exception is found in § 91.215(b)(3), which states that if the aircraft is a glider or balloon, or was not certificated with an engine-driven electrical system, it can be operated within the "veil" without a Mode C transponder. This is allowed so long as these operations are below the upper limit of the Class B airspace (or 10,000 MSL, whichever is lower) and not actually within Class A, B, or C airspace.

The key to this exception is whether or not your aircraft has an "engine-driven electrical system". A good way to look at this is, if your aircraft does not have generator or alternator that is turned by the engine, and that recharges a battery in flight, you probably do not have an "engine driven electrical system".

And with exactly zero selling you have the best product you can make but one that nobody knows exists.
Elysiums key ingredient is nicotinamide riboside, a recently discovered pre cursor to NAD+ which has shown incredible results when it comes to slowing down aging. You can buy NR supplements pretty easily and I can't recommend it enough if you're into this stuff.

The next thing is NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) but currently it's way too expensive to buy for individuals. There are some Chinese labs synthesizing it for cheap but unless you have access to a lab I wouldn't trust it's what it says it is. Though it's very likely that we will see accessible supplements in the next 3 years.

In fact, NMN was so promising in rats/mice that Keio university in Tokyo just started human trials.

NR (the stuff you can buy already) gets converted to NMN in your body though.

I for now am taking NR (not elysium) daily until some big study tells me not to or until I find a reliable NMN source. What has been discovered so far convinced me to give it a try just for the offchance that it's really doing what people say it does.

We live in exciting times and I am very much looking forward to see what the next years has to offer.

> It's possible to build a server rendered React app

What's the advantage of server rendered React app over server rendered anything e.g. php jsp etc?
From the description in th article, it seems like the content of the stack frame is usually not saved, which would break a lot of code that modifies a variable on the stack. E.g. if you are incrementing a counter in a loop and save a continuation into the middle of the loop, then on each invocation of that same continuation, the loop counter might have different values.

The obvious fix would be to never modify the content of a stack frame, instead recreating it with a different value for each iteration, but that doesn't strike me as very efficient.
Can you elaborate what is "true" GST and how is it different from others?
There is no need to have faith in anything special. As I said in my original post, it's just a matter of looking at healthcare systems in most of the developed world. The healthcare systems that work best, in any published study and metric, have much more public involvement that the US system.

"Fervor" is what it takes to believe in utopian solutions that go exactly in the opposite direction to the success stories, and with no evidence whatsoever that they work in the real world.
How do you architect that, regarding DB, code and endpoints?
They are quite powerful, and not to diminish their use of course, but they do feel like glorified, annotated goto statements. Which is not that bad in the end, because even break; would be just a special case of goto.
To be fair: That's the same thing. Counting on a system of humans keeping its stance regarding a certain topic while declaring laws is a recipe for disaster.
This was on the front page and got flagged away into oblivion. Great going, people who flagged this story. This was a post that could have helped IH if there was a vibrant discussion on this sensitive topic. By censoring it, you are doing IH a disservice, I hope you all realise that.
> Anyone else thought that this was very weird? The author appears to be complaining about the fact that reputable people/labs can post a PDF on arXiv and be taken seriously. How is this avoidable? Without arXiv, they could just post the PDF on their website or anywhere else.

The issue is "flag planting" : arXiv is one way to do it; the same arguments hold true for other sources but arXiv is used as a canonical example for "flag planting".
The rationale seems to be: "you're going to run into a lot of other software that'll also fail". He mentions xinetd as an example.
The Map That Popularized the Word ‘Gerrymander’
Maybe it's a big deal for foreign schools?

Universities in the U.S. are accredited by regional bodies, like WASC. ABET is not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to give accreditation for higher education, so having an ABET accreditation will not allow you to get government guarantees of student loans, for example.
See: https://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/

For this reason, it can't be a big deal for higher education, which is why it doesn't set any standards for U.S. higher education.

That's not to say that ABET isn't a professional organization or that it doesn't recognize schools schools as complying with its own standards. FIRE gives awards for schools that have freedom of expression on campus. But FIRE isn't going to let you take student loans. The Department of Education has to recognize the accrediting body for that to happen.

ABET it is recognized by the "Council of Higher Education", which is not a government body or regulatory body at all. It's just a private professional organization which doesn't have much influence in higher education.
Sorry, but wtf is wrong with you? You even made a username IH_dead for this?

Seems that you are a troll...

Your points are also no valid at all. Of course at the beginning everyone is grinding a lot until it takes off, now it has enough recognition to get people asking for interviews. Of course when a community is new the founders are more active until it takes off.
I wish more software developers kept these things in mind.
At one of my customers I worked on interfacing their online store with several other software components. The store was the only piece able to handle the names of customers (from different parts of the world) correctly. All the rest failed at some point. There are so many additional aspects you discover only when you actually work on these things.
Unfortunately, there exists a point of view that giving women more power = more sexism as it reduces the power of men, actually. I agree with you that action and opening the doors for women is far more important than punishing 'guilty men', but I'm not sure if it is possible to have the first without the second. Maybe more 'guilty men' punished = less 'guilty men' keeping funding from women = more women funded.

We are in a world that is moving so fast and you want to try new things continuously.

It works also if you don't really love to do any particular thing right now. Trying new things will let you explore and find something that you would enjoy doing it for the next 5-10-15 years.

> Communities will naturally recognize contributions and give credit when credit is due. It's always happen that way.

"Let the market decide!"
When they sign up, they probably have to choose (at least) one of those options, so that can be included on their profile and the data can be separated from the profile. E.g. Your "profile" in the db can say "login_type: phone_number", which is supplied when you sign up or your profile is created, and then you can do a lookup on the respective table. You could likely make it simpler and just include it in the profile table (phone_number, username, email columns) since there would only be a set amount of login types (unless you somehow make it generic and augmentable from a UI).

The Turkish situation referenced (http://gizmodo.com/382026/a-cellphones-missing-dot-kills-two...) is not an indictment of bad tech, but of a fucked up honor-based patriarchal culture.

"Ramazan went to the family's home to apologize, only to be greeted by the father, Emine, two sisters and a lot of very sharp knives."

There's no technological way to fix people that would try to kill someone over a text misunderstanding without figuring out the truth first. People like this are garbage-people murderers, let's not blame tech mistakes for the fact that some people are scum. Everyone involved knew damn well that a couple characters would make the difference between a benign text and an offensive one, and frankly, even if the text was offensive, murder was not justified. Scum.
No you don't. As someone who lives in a country with functioning high speed rail and who uses it regularly, let me tell you how it works here:

You go to the train station, which is in the city centre. You use a subway, tram or bicycle to get there. You walk in, go to your platform and enter the train. You place your luggage in the luggage rack and take your seat. When the train arrives at your destination or interchange point, you grab your stuff and leave. Sometime in between, staff will walk the train and check your ticket.

No long transit to/from the station. No check-in, no security screening, no baggage drop-off/pickup. It's a train, not rocket science.
The way https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-VAT-a... describes the difference between VAT and GST to me it seems that GST is very similar to the German Umsatzsteuer which also applies to goods and services equally.

And Germany is also a federal nation which has had this unified tax for decades.

> Worse - strong claims about mathematical provability immediately fall apart because of Godel

incompleteness means true but unprovable propositions in specific forms of higher order logic, but Kurt also proved the completeness of first order logic. However, the scheme of induction used to lower peano arithmetic to first order logic (Presburger Arithmetic e.g.). Likewise, an incomplete higher order logic can (ostensibly - I couldn't) be proved in a logic of even higher degree, which is again incomplete, so again that's an argument ad infinitum. Obviously that's abstract nonsense, but the question shouldn't be whether the universe can be predicted up to infinity. The question at face value is rather, whether quantitative analysis can solve any given qualitative problem. It's the syntax semantics duality - what comes first?
