That's a false dichotomy. The real solution to this problem is, and was, as you strangely seem to have forgotten history, to abolish slavery altogether.

Likewise in prisons the solution is to abolish slave labour and instead give the same work rights to prisoners as to the rest of the population, including minimum wage.

For some perverse reason there is the general idea floating in people's minds that prisoners should be subjected to as much suffering as possible. Being deprived of their freedoms is not enough, they should also sleep in unhealthy conditions, be raped, and be forced to work for next to nothing. This is not the social contract, and this is not an efficient way to fight crime. In fact it probably contributes to create more crime.

Ask HN: What is your favorite website for posting code snippets?
Its pretty common that I want to save/share a tiny generic chunk of code to be re-used later.

Its typically too small/useless to be packaged, and seems to be about method signatures while switching around languages:

- parsing data

- jekyll helpers

- ruby/js/bash/etc. syntax for reading/writing/appending/etc.

just small junk that I'd like to reference very quickly and help others reference quickly if need be.

I have written and answered my own Stackoverflow question before but it feels stupid so I won't do that anymore. github gists don't often come up in google results and not easily categorized and such.
I usually learn by doing which means that my github while a mess does encompass the things that are relevant that I have learned.

The other way would be taking notes. I'm really bad at managing notes at this time but when I take notes I can recall them for a few months.

But, going back to my previous paragraph due to the fact I learn by doing I remember things that I do repetitively.

One of the perceived benefits of YC is the alumni network. In so far as this perception is meaningful, funding every application would reduce the signal to noise within it...perhaps so far as to make it no more useful than Hacker News.
Perhaps this is why there were really no Roman mathematicians. For how much they admired and emulated the Greeks, they themselves were never really able to contribute to math and science in the same way. Practically everything we think about today in western civilization in terms of Law, Architecture, Engineering, and Urban Planning comes directly from the Romans. Yet they never produced an Archimedes or a Pythagoras. Euclid remained the height of mathematical sophistication in the West through their entire reign until the rise of Arab/Islamic mathematics in the 800s.
Yes it is true. Alfred Russel Wallace was on the other side of the world doing his own independent work and looked to Darwin for advice about his own theories. ARW is a bit of an unsung hero with regard to what he contributed to this part of Biology (at least to those that are not deeply involved in Biology).

5 Things Users Want to Know Sooner Rather Than Later
BMR units should not be required by private developers. This is a public problem that private developers are being forced to solve and many are just refusing to build more housing because they cant make a profit. Instead of requiring them to build BMR units just require all apartments to rent out 25% of units to section 8 housing and the city can subsidize the rent of low income people. The more barriers to housing you put in the more developer leave the market. If you want BMR units then have the city build them and they can build 100% BMR complexes
I really want someone to come out with a proportional font with programming-oriented ligatures; they make more sense with a proportional font because unusual "widths" are no longer a concern. I've foresworn monospaced fonts, but really like what they did in hasklig. I can get the same effect if I do my own editor (replace => with unicode ⇒), but not with an off the shelf editor.

I tried to figure out how to hack open sans to do this, but the tool chain and steps needed to modify a font aren't well documented as far as I can tell.
How about the Wheel? Wheels deprive millions of jobs for people to carry stuff.
True, but Seattle is seeing large increases in housing prices do to low inventory as well. Maybe it will play out different in the long term vs the bay area?
> Picking a programming font is like picking a religion. No matter what you pick someone will say you're wrong. Most people will agree at least that monospaced fonts are ideal for reading code and that both of you who use proportionally spaces fonts are destined for hell, or at the very least, purgatory.

I guess I'm destined for hell or purgatory then.

Hanselman is not alone. I had the CEO of one company look over my shoulder and ask, "Mike, I don't understand how you can program in a proportional font. How can that possibly work?"

He wasn't interested in the answer, he just wanted to make a point to me and our teammates that what I was doing was weird and wrong.

I would hope for people to have more intellectual curiosity than this. One of the best ways to learn is to let your assumptions be challenged: talk with people who do something differently from you and find out why they do it.

It's been said that a programmer should learn a new programming language every year or so, and especially learn a new kind of language that will teach you different ways to think about code.

Similarly, I think every programmer should try coding in a proportional font, at least for a while. It may show you new ways to think about how you format your code, as it did for me when I got curious many years ago and tried it.

For example, it cured the bad habit I had of lining up too many things in columns, like this:

myFunctionThatDoesStuff(someArgument,
andThisCalculatedOne(anArgumentThatMeansSomething,
anotherWordyName));

Obviously that won't work in a proportional font, so it forced me to try this instead:

myFunctionThatDoesStuff(
someArgument,
andThisCalculatedOne(
anArgumentThatMeansSomething,
anotherWordyName
)
);

This indentation-only style has many advantages, and of course it works just fine in a monospaced font too. In fact the Rust/Servo team recently switched to it from their former column-aligned style.
I noticed that immediately, too; I just assumed the author changed the source before taking screenshots and forgot to update it on site code. If a font was doing that, it would be criminal.
I would contest step 1.

If we assume that rational means "true", then it is clearly false:

If statements A and B are true, then the statement "A and B" is true. In fact, if the statement A is true, then "A and A" is true, so if there is at least one true statement, there are infinitely many.

If by "rational" you mean "true and meaningful", well, then we have to define meaningful.

The strongest definition of meaningful that I can muster is "contains information that cannot be logically deduced from previously known rational statements". But then by Godel incompleteness (assuming that we accept arithmetic as rational), there will always be a (true) statement we can make that is independent of our previous statements.

So while I think the discovery was more or less inevitable, there's certainly a flaw in your proof!
They could pay more. But since what we're really talking about here is the market, the real question is who would pick up the added costs. Are consumers willing to pay the "real cost" of food grown by employees who are paid a fair wage?
> For most people here, using a third-party sync service is probably more convenient than avoiding whatever mass-market-cloud-thing 1password is trying to move everyone to.

Using 1Password's service is actually far more convenient. It Just Works™, whereas other solutions like Dropbox are prone to creating conflicts.

TBH I don't know why anyone who was using a third-party sync service like Dropbox would dislike the 1Password sync service (beyond the fact that it's subscription pricing instead of a one-time license fee). It's only the small subset of users who used Wi-Fi sync that seem to have a legitimate complaint here.

> this article just knocked 1p off my list of candidates

Why? Unless you were planning on using Wi-Fi sync, then you shouldn't have a complaint. Tim Bray makes a lot of noise about web sites being insecure, but you don't need to use the web interface for 1Password (well, until today you needed to use it to create new vaults, but 1Password 6.8 can now create cloud vaults directly in the app). And his comment about if you use Dropbox all they have are the encrypted password file applies just as well to AgileBits, because you need the combination of your secret key + account password to decrypt anything, and at least the secret key (and maybe the account password too, not sure) is never sent to AgileBits.

If you're interested, they also have a white paper on their security, which you can find linked at the bottom of https://1password.com/security/.
To be blunt, most "genius worship" is just another way for someone to feel like they're better than you. Genius lay in the eye of the beholder - one person's unsung genius toiling in obscurity is another person's fool following their folly.

Geniuses may have additional creative, productive, or other cognitive capacities, but they are still humans. Indeed, having greater capacity means geniuses can waste far more time than an average person can access.
Does it? In monospaced fonts, you can use width to know how many characters are in a ligature.
Funny how for the longest time now, cities and counties take more and more money from public parks citing their underuse... then when they get used, they cry out legally to stop the use.

Part of the costs of a park is cleaning up after people, its already in the budget. So is the landscaping. So is the coverage for wear and tear in general.

Its also funny to see the difference. National Park Service embraces Pokemon Go and enjoyed the increased park traffic. Austin embraced it and stores all over downtown and even government buildings had specials for Pokemon GO'ers (some public art museums here gave like 50% off admission if you were Pokemon hunting)

And the fact that so many normally sedentary people were getting up and going out and doing shit and getting exercise .. and people still went out of their way to be dicks about it... I don't get it.

Aside from Niantic's handling of the game, its PR and its issues, the pokemon GO craze was probably one of the most positive, healthy things to go viral in a very long time in the US...
This replaces -> and whatnot with unicode equivalents, right?

There are a LOT of problems with that. First and foremost you really do want double character width for these symbols in the iosevka format. Stuff like → is microscopic.
I see the logic if you have to live in, say, the New York City region... But the fact is, you don't.

I live in a suburb of a moderate-sized southern city and work as a data scientist at a technology company just outside of downtown. The pay is good, the commute is 15 minutes one-way (pretty much 100% of the time, too), the cost of living is phenomenal, and I'm within walking distance of all the shopping, eating, mountain biking, hiking, and boating I could want to do in an average week.

I have no idea why folks seem to think NYC and the Bay Area are the only places you can possibly live...
"Necessity is the Mother of Invention" - how many of us here only program when we have an itch to scratch? Human ingenuity will prevail.
But then you have to remember the counter setting for that website. So it's almost the same problem; I could just add a 1 to the end of my master password for that website.
At least in theory, once the loss due to lack of sufficient number of workers exceeds the cost of raising the wages they should go up and at the cost of margins or increased prices. This should offer nobody a competitive advantage because every farm is likely facing the same issue.

Sadly employers behave like raising wages was not even an option. I guess that's human nature - money going from you pocket is a more tangible expense/loss than money not going into your pocket due to lost profits/opportunity.
Offtopic(ish), but do you mean like the MS ergonomic keyboard split-but-one-piece, or actually two separate pieces? If the latter, what do you like about them?
Which might actually be quite possible. At the very least, I'm sure machine learning can have a better understanding of your general musical taste than most of your friends do.

I use the proportional font "Input", which is designed for programming. I really enjoy it. The only annoyance is matching indentation in certain scenarios.
The 1Password situation is complicated because the people who run the company make it so. There's always been a push to get more income with less effort, not that that's wrong. But what frustrated me, and finally moved me off of 1Password, are the instances where the founders and staff responded in an obstinate way that "this is just how we're going to do it, and we've decided not to hear anyone, however loud you may be." Then after sometime when the noise seems high enough to cause damage, they backtrack (like it happened with the MAS-only decision). The only word I can use to describe AgileBits is "disingenuous". It sounds harsh, but it has a history of being so.

AgileBits has also used dark patterns, if I may call them so, on the website to hide or obscure what's available but not considered favorable by the company, and prominently push what's considered favorable by the company as if that were the only option available (one visit to the home page in the last couple of years is adequate to get this). This ought to be shameful for any software company, especially one that claims to care about the users.

When it was originally created and stabilized, 1Password was a great solution, almost like Dropbox in simplicity and value. But the focus has been sorely lacking on other platforms, like Windows (and of course, nothing on Linux). There doesn't seem to be a lot nowadays to justify what the end user gets from the subscription when there are other options out there (that didn't exist several years ago).

Ever since I started using Linux, I've looked for solutions and have been trying Enpass once in a while. [1] It's free on all desktop platforms and has browser integration.

Edit: Of course, it's also been quite sometime since I started using Keychain Access and Safari on OS X/macOS/iOS.

Everyone knows it but no one will do it.
Interesting anecdote from my experience using mechanical keyboards in open, corporate offices: people never stop me and complain about the noise. Rather, people usually are curious about my "retro" or "vintage" keyboards. I quickly tell them that these are new products and then they ask the price. Once they hear that I pay for "special" keyboards, their eyes usually roll and I feel the judgements coming :)
No it isn't, because each firm doesn't have a 50% chance of beating the market each year. Unless you're postulating that that is the case, it's not at all the same.

I can quibble about the odds of each individual trade resulting in profit or less being binary, but for the sake of argument it'll do. But a 50% chance of beating the market each year isn't supported by anything.

The grouping of data reporting doesn't suggest anything about the underlying data if it doesn't also share the same probability distribution. The trades are the events which determine if a fund will outperform on an annual basis, and we can group those trades by day, week, month, year, etc.

But the point is that that while the fiduciary can't try to profit at the expense of the shareholders at all, they can trade off the interests of the shareholders against that of the employees as a group, the environment, their integrity, common morality, etc.

This is what e.g. many Haskell developers do, the issue is that this will usually fuck up alignment (because the base font does not contain the non-ascii symbols) and generate different alignments between different viewing contexts. It also leads to odd issues where deleting a character just changes it and doesn't move the cursor at all.

Ligatures are a time-honored way to improve the look and feel of combinations of characters, that's basically the entire point of them.
Fair enough. I guess my point was that each step actually takes a lot of work to learn how to do well enough to make a viable business. You don't "just" try to sell something any more than you "just" build a video game or "just" convince 200-odd congresspeople to vote for something.

This seems like a place where industry self-regulation could be helpful. It could be helpful if there were an organization that would keep track of blacklisted areas (eg whitehouse lawn) and release them for all to the public, and developers in particular, for easy consumption. There would need to be some procedure for adding or removing regions from the database, eg a written request from a relevant government official acting in their capacity as an official.

I think we would see less heavy handed actions if there was a lighter touch option available.
I suspect that down the line, some group of clever people will design something like Pokemon GO, but with some real meat on its bones and a long, monetized lifetime. At that point, you have to wonder if there will be a measurable hit on childhood obesity. I suspect there might be, albeit relatively small, still a measurable reduction.
I think the first step would be to work in the area for a while and learn about the real issues. A lot of industries look really easy when you take a quick look from the outside but reality is a little more complex.

They already have converted some of the ETH to other coins. There are services out there that are completely anonymous that you can use Tor to access and exchange coins.

The problem that this hacker has is that they need to convert a lot of coins.
That's a pretty exciting prospect then, and I could imagine even a mediocre implementation being almost catastrophically popular.

I’m definitely interested in the farm/cv realm. It takes funding though.
In the same boat as you.. 2+hours, but about 1.5 of it is usually on a bus so it's bearable. That's my alone time. Phone goes to Do Not Disturb mode, put on some music, and relax. I thought I'd hate the commute but your comment is spot on: "With the right ingredients not just doable but weirdly enjoyable" Every once in a while I will drive the whole way and it's really not so bad. It sucks not seeing my kid during the week though.

My home is not amazing, it's pretty bog standard, but then again it didn't cost me $1M+ so that's amazing. Home prices entirely drive this. When we were looking for a place to live, we basically plotted on a map "places we can afford" and picked the place the shortest distance from my work.
I said how to start a sidehustle. Not how to grow a sidehustle (or business) into a unicorn. That is a lot more involved.

Your examples are a great way of starting all those things as well. Want a law? Write it, vote on it, boom. Law. Want a souffle? Mix ingredients, add heat. I've done souffles before, that's really all they are. Want to start making a car? Draw picture, order off-the-shelf components, assemble. (Watch OCC, this is how they make their famous choppers). Want to fix a tumor? Gotta know where it is and gotta open the skull. Cutting it out sounds like a great next step.

The part where a lot of people get tripped up on starting a business is that they instead start a hobby. It's not a business if people aren't paying for it. Yes even if you have thousands of users or app downloads.

It's already been shown in Seattle that raising minimum wage does not raise prices.

Therefore paying these workers more should not raise prices. It might make them rise to middle class though :)
Any reasonably-well designed urban area is teeming with parks of all different shapes and types. In the suburbs, there may be one part per town, largely focused on ball fields, but in an urban area, there are parks all over the place.

The other big thing is that parks often have much better equipment than people's back yards. A lot of suburbanites buy their kids swing sets, which are usually not well designed and of poor quality. Most urban parks aimed at kids have lots of professionally-designed equipment that is well made and keeps kids attention much longer. It's also much easier to find a full-size basketball court, tennis court, etc.

You don't have to plan a trip to the park if you actually live in a walkable area. You just walk to one.
I find having a GitHub repo where I write down what I'm learning in Markdown pages and also link to my coding excercises helps a lot.

Ditto for me. Going proportional made me consider using saner formatting policies rather than fancy ones. I've also narrowed my code column width by writing more vertically and less horizontally to make scanning easier on my eyes while also allowing for more side by side buffers.
interesting :)...if you use all the bone segments in the fingers you can also get base 14 or 28, there is probably a culture out there doing just that.
