Unfortunately they don't identify those incidents. The GTD doesn't list any triple homicides by the right. Let me know if you can find out what they're talking about here.

That's just where the most jobs are. There are ppl all over the world doing freelance work for US companies; it's a huge need.
> And interview, how? And find it, how? Who will recommend them?

I got a job in New York, while living in Dallas.

Interview: by flying in on an airplane, staying in a cheap hotel, and lining up a few interviews a day for a few days.

Finding it: There's not a shortage of job sites, or recruiters breaking down your inbox.

Recommendations: your former coworkers and friends won't assume you get lead poisoning in the rust belt; they can still recommend you to others, and jobs to you.
I honestly think it makes a difference. People don't necessarily think about the monetary value of something. It's like paying for employees' lunches every day. At $10 each the cost is 5104= $200/month. I am pretty sure they will be more excited about free lunch than $200/month more.
Absolutely! I'd justify it by the potential risk of discomfort those guests pose to my other tenants.

Why is that bad? Is it a question of inherent stability, or do you have a wife and child who don't want to get dragged around on your job-leash?
There is no communication issue that cannot be addressed with Slack, because Slack imposes almost no structure on its users. That doesn't mean you want to use it for issue tracking. I think of Slack as UDP for humans - it's very powerful, but it's something you have to make work. If a higher-level communication protocol already exists that fits your needs, might as well use it.
Can you specify which book you mean, when you say "ISLR"?

Nope. Not even JavaScript screws this one up. You've got to be doing something stupid with strings to get tripped up by "Null".
Snabel: an embedded Forth with parameterized types and generic words
I wish smartphone manufacturers would shift the focus from making better cameras to improving battery life. The performance of every phone becomes zero once the battery runs out. This review claims excellent battery life, but for me to really find the phone compelling, the battery life needs to be more than excellent so that I can believe it will still be able to last a full day two years after I get it. Are magnetic accessories really that great if I'll have to get a new core phone anyway once the battery gives out (from what I understand, the Essential Phone's battery is not replaceable)?

Before 360 degree pictures, VR, or a better AI assistant, I just want a phone that I'm actually willing to use as much as I'd like to instead of dimming down the screen to the point that I can barely see it when I know I'm going to be away from a charger for most of the day.
That's a good point. It would be nice to have an actual photograph of our Oort Cloud, after all.
Yes, I changed what I said. I didn't actually think everyone on the planet should head over. I was simply trying to convey my enthusiasm. Should have known I was going to get nailed by that nerd response: "Well, ya know if everyone ..."

The fact that it's $1000/night per person sort of limits the problem.

People will write awful rust code. The impact of this will not be an attacker's ability to completely take over a system. That's a level of "awful" I'll take.
I like the last one. True, Infosys like companies started as a service company and never expanded their business to develop out of the service sector which is bad. My observation is, all these service companies only focus on their profits and never reinvest to expand the business out of it, maybe developing a product to start with.
How do you know there isn't already a separately trained group of reviews whose only role is to carefully examine videos related to war crimes/terrorism/violence? I suspect there was, and Google/YouTube's senior management just decided to take a harder line on it than they should've.
It's pretty bad UI design, but pressing the discard button does open a confirmation box that says "Are you sure you want to discard ALL changes? This is IRREVERSIBLE!"

With that kind of a message, it's amazing how he didn't think twice about discarding them. Especially when he didn't have a proper source control before.
And along these lines: javascript modules automatically turn strict mode on, so most people will just be on the "new" (strict) version of javascript once modules are popular.

> and I frankly don't understand how people ran Python engineering projects of any significant size without it

Pretty much the first thing the Zope folks made was port Java interfaces to Python.

Considering that Zope projects were both relatively early and big in Python's life time, that might answer your question. (Plus, projects not using anything like it usually either have very large test suites, or are broken more frequently than working).
An office doesn't have to "taken seriously", whatever that means, to provide you a job, which is all we're talking about. WalterSear even mentioned a satellite office in his post.

I think that essentially, the LXD project focuses on making VM-like containers (with a full OS that you SSH into, etc), whereas Docker and friends focus on immutable application containers - essentially, a zone for running a single application, and which you delete and start from scratch rather than entering and changing stuff.

In fact, the LXD people have a guide on how to run Docker containers inside LXD :)

About DACH, I think your interpretation is correct, but I had never seen it either.
Video playback is not hard. If you are any good at UI/UX, you can make a great video player with HTML5.

DRM is hard (it's really an impossible pipe dream, but that's another conversation). Getting any sort of "DRM" to work in a browser with a good UI/UX is difficult, and most of the huge media providers (HBO, Vudu, etc.) are still using outdated, buggy, sluggish flash-based methods. The only decent video player using "DRM" that I know of is Netflix, which still has arbitrary limitations, like 720p video.
Perhaps the "Compute Module" is the thing to use for Raspberry Pi clusters. Probably fit 100+ in 1U with no cables at all.
Sendfile() and TLS
Sorry if dumb question. If Haskell types don't exist at runtime how do type class functions work? I'd think the type needs to get inspected to choose the implementation to call?
I haven't had the chance to try the Rust language mode, but I've been using VS Code for all my julia development lately, and I'm pretty impressed. It's quite a nice editor. I avoided using it for a very long time because I thought it'd match Atom's slowness due to their shared Electron heritage. But for some reason VS Code feels a lot snappier. Not quite Sublime levels, but perfectly usable.
What do you expect them to do? Transcribe what would've been said if they hadn't been cut off?
I remember the history on Slashdot about it.
Very true, but we are discussing phones, and without glue on my few year old Mac book air, it was less than 10 minutes as there was no glue. Again you're right, it ain't swappable, but it was surprisingly easier than I thought when it isn't glued.
Sure free lunch has always been seen as a perk even for the supposedly rational and logical people like programmers (being slightly sarcastic there). I've heard of people going for a lower paying jobs and citing free lunch as deciding factor.

Moreover there are other ways to influence doctors. In some states they have to pass certifications or exams for continued education. Pharma companies would pay the companies writing the tests to insert names of their drugs in there.

There are speaking fees and other such things. Eventually the law catches up but by then they find a new loophole.
I have a friend who's been working on a healthcare-related startup (smart baby mat). When I used to help out, I remember it being quite complex as he's gone to hospitals to help him perform some clinical trials before going to market. If you'd like, I can put you in touch with him.
No one parodies Hacker News comments as well as Hacker News commenters.

This is a piece about one guy's emotions and feelings about the rise of e-bikes. He's not policing anything. He's not setting government policies. He's lamenting that bicycling, especially in NYC, was once an activity for people who had to physically struggle with it and who got some viceral return from that and now it's just another form of commuting alongside cars, taxis and the subway.

He's not telling anyone not to buy an e-bike. He's not saying they don't belong on the road. People have written the same pieces about automatic transmission in cars and all other sorts of automation. Of course e-bikes will continue to grow. But riding one will never be the same as doing it all yourself.
So is facebook for friendship lol

If you ask for their email and they offer to friend you, and you decline, should they assume you don't want to be in the loop for things?

Your arguments for email as a platform equally apply to facebook. Yeah email is decentralized and oldsr, but that stuff doesn't matter to regular people who want the easiest tool for the job.
The foolproof way of extending battery life, which is to make the phone thicker, has been roundly rejected by the marketplace (and there are many benefits to limiting the number of models, so most manufacturers won't make an "extended battery" model). Battery life is also important to me so I take an external battery everywhere I go.
I disagree. I think doing business should be based on business reasons; if Daily Stormer upholds their end of the contract, then Google/GoDaddy/etc. have no ethical business reason to terminate it. If they disagree with what Daily Stormer says, they are totally free to publish their own statement. The only ethical consequence of free speech could be another speech.
Yeah so can I get a phone with the thickness of the old Motorola Milestone/Droid but with current guts and a proportionally higher capacity battery?

YouTube is now what TV used to be. So yes, you should be able to show this content. However, the platform needs to provide betyer tools to users and producers to aide in categorizing content.
I love this comment. Maybe because I am a software engineer and dig the comments on the lack of precision and research. But also because I'm a manager and had to talk many developers of a cliff who got irked when things are not right or complete.

Applying Hanlon's Razor, I don't see any malice in this comment at all. It's just a sharp comment with a logically valid point that is a little off base socially.

I forgot about that, downhill without pedaling brings most bikes a good clip, mine being no exception. I have a really good bike with great disk breaks I keep in good shape so I'm no more or less in danger than any other bike on the road. The biggest concern any cyclists have are crowded streets and poorly thought out bike lanes, not ebikes.
The biggest problem, imo, isn't the random flagger but rather the concerted actions of groups to flag videos. This is obvious in terms of reddit or 4chan users swarming a channel they don't like. This kind of behavior needs to be mitigated in some way. I think a quick solution would be to force a cool down timer on flagging of 24-48 hours for all users to ensure they're not abusing the system. That should include random users who file DCMA takedowns that aren't partnered with Youtube in some way.

> Look at the corruption like gerrymandering.

What do these have to do with different income tax rates in separate states?

Its like you had a google alert on "corruption" and had all those responses on your clipboard regardless of the context.
The funny thing about "moving quickly in dynamic languages" is that it doesn't last. Refactoring code in a dynamic language gets difficult fast and is an entirely hopeless endeavour without a huge test suite (you obviously need tests on every level, because you can't refactor an interface and its test at the same time and still think it's working as intended).

Typed code may be slower and more cumbersome (to some) to write in the first place, but is usually much easier to maintain in my experience.
Austerity is the policy for when the money runs out. Neoliberalism is the convenient scapegoat for that fact.

Practically all the countries that are under "austerity" (few of the policies actually implemented in these countries fit the dictionary definition of "austerity", except perhaps Greece) were following supposedly Keynesian policies of spending in downturns, except they forgot the bit about consolidating in upturns. The 00's were a huge upturn, yet most of the countries now under austerity were spending freely. Then the crash hit, and they had to spend even more, and then came a downturn and suddenly spending was actually problematic.

But yeah, economic liberals are the bad guys, and they were also the bad guys 10-15 years ago when they warned that governments should step back, consolidate and prepare for a rainy day.

2017 Tax Burden by State
With the 3BN tax-dollar giveaway, Wisconsin will not receive any positive pie returns from Foxconn until 2043. Assuming Foxconn doesn't move on to another location in 2042.

It's worth pointing out that Wisconsin is giving billions to a company where working conditions so bad that workers have been killing themselves there since 2010: "It wouldn’t be Foxconn without people dying."

If sunshine was poisonous to your eyes you would already be blind. I look straight into the sun for several minutes at a time on a regular basis, if it gets uncomfortable I stop; been doing that for most of 40 years, no big deal. The sun is a life source, not our enemy. The only real danger is viewing the sun through lenses, glasses and other human contraptions.
There even used to be a death penalty on sun gazing back in the days; you have to stop and ask yourself why the people at the top are so hellbent on preventing it. But then who will buy all the useless protection-gadgets, and pay for the useless certifications, I hear you ask; not my problem.
Meh. It's been on my iphone for about a year and I've used it maybe a dozen times. It would be nice to be able to open a link from another browser (eg. Endless) but the option isn't available. So it goes by the wayside.
I've worked in an modest Erlang codebase (~30k LOC) with a couple other people, and we used dialyzer pervasively with pretty good success. I would actually say that in some ways it was an improvement over Java's approach to types:

* there is no implicit 'null'. I.e., if your type signature doesn't explicitly include the value "none", then it's not allowed

* you have union and intersection types

* it's super easy to create new records (and types from those records)

* even if your type signature is structural, you can optionally give more meaningful names to arguments and return values in the signature itself

* success typing is still good enough to catch many "uninteresting" bugs (which I consider to be a significant advantage of static typing. When I fix bugs, I want it to be bugs with my understanding of the requirements, not bugs with my understanding about the values returned/expected by a function)

pattern matching also helps clarify the expected values of a function.

In contrast to the author's main complaint: For me, the camera is one of the least important features on the phone, and I'd actually appreciate a phone that did not have a front-facing camera.

LLVM on Windows Now Supports PDB Debug Info
> Are they currently forbidden by e.g. the FCC from passing local net neutrality laws?

Not directly, but it would be problematic. The "channels" of interstate commerce are an area in which the Federal government has primacy. States can regulate them to some degree (e.g. prescribing speed limits on the portions of interstate highways passing through their jurisdiction). But they can't regulate them in a way that conflicts with how the federal government regulates them.
Amazon forces 1-click use in places like Kindle and Video purchases. I find this is a detriment if I want to purchase multiple things from these areas since each results in a credit card charge and too many similar charges or too little time between will result in my card getting flagged and locked out.
> The link between financial openness and economic growth is complex. Some capital inflows, such as [...] transfer of technology or human capital [...] do seem to boost long-term growth. But the impact of other flows—such as portfolio investment and banking and especially hot, or speculative, debt inflows—seem neither to boost growth nor allow the country to better share risks with its trading partners.

I know very little about economics, but this makes a lot of sense to me. Industries playing "zero sum games" (i.e. investment banking) _can't_ result in overall growth because there must be a loser for every winner, but sharing true value-creating technology will raise the GDP for everyone.
Google's recent crackdown on alternative viewpoints appears to have also been coordinated across other tech monopolies. From American Renaissance:

"""

Since the Charlottesville rally last weekend, American Renaissance has been under attack. Internet giants from PayPal to Facebook are trying to squeeze us out.

PayPal has cut us off, which means for now we can no longer take donations or sell books by credit card or any electronic means. All our recurring monthly donations—which are the predictable cash flow we count on and plan around—have stopped.

Facebook has blocked the AmRen account for seven days with a warning that if we violate their vague “terms of service” it will close us down for good.

MailChimp, which is the service we use to reach supporters by email, has cut us off completely. Our Twitter accounts—with a total of more than 60,000 followers—could be next, and our YouTube channel, with 35,000 subscribers and millions of views, is just as vulnerable.

As you know, American Renaissance had nothing to do with Charlottesville, and for all its 27 years, AmRen has consistently repudiated violence. This doesn’t matter. Corporate America is stamping out our revenue sources and trying to block our access to the public.

If this continues, AmRen.com could be kicked completely off the internet.

We cannot go back to the pre-internet days. With your help, we will find alternative platforms and, if need be, take legal action.

This is a historic moment in our movement. We are being silenced because we are winning. We are winning because we cannot be refuted. We cannot be refuted because we are right!

Please, give us the means to keep our voice heard.

At this point we can take only checks, money orders and cash; no electronic or credit cards.

Please send your donation made out to:

Zapier Support here. The most common way I see people do this is by starring Slack messages they want to add as Todos. Here's a template that uses Todoist, although there's no shortage of alternatives on that side of things: https://zapier.com/app/editor/template/1580

Outside of that, you can build a zap that triggers on any message and use a Filter step to make sure only messages that meet your criteria(e.g. your keyword) move on to the action: https://zapier.com/help/how-get-started-filters-zapier/

If your ultimate goal is to manage the todo list from inside Slack, there's not a great way to do that with Zapier. Personally, I manually add/delete items in my 'You' channel to get to that type of functionality.
I think recognizing that there are tradeoffs is the best way to get me to consider your stance. It says you've used it long enough to be honest about its flaws. Anything else just feels disingenuous to me.

I totally agree with you, though. The ease of refactoring alone is a big enough win to get me on board.
