Hm. I'm not convinced.

Right now I'm writing a thesis. It's in LaTeX, and auto compiles when a file changes. So on one monitor I've got my text editor and the PDF output. It's very nice to keep writing and get the output asynchronously, with the PDF flickering to indicate it's updated, which I can see in my peripheral vision and look over at it.

And, what if something goes wrong during compilation? I want my terminal to be visible, and again in my peripheral vision I'll see a sea of red error messages and know to look over there to see what I did wrong. So on my other monitor I have the terminal running the make command for auto-compiling.

In practice I have more windows open: version control, citations manager program, file browser. They're all part of the same task, they are not distractions. But for this workflow I need at least the text editor, the terminal, and the PDF viewer. I'm not sure how I could do this with a single monitor without seriously compromising on the amount of my actual thesis I can see on my screen in either the text editor or the PDF - maybe shrinking the terminal down tiny so I can see the last line of output and then making it larger to see the context of the error if there was one, but that's getting a bit ridiculous.

Maybe if I used a monolithic IDE for everything it would be able to fit all this information into one maximised window in a clever way, only showing me what was relevant at any one time. But if you're not using an IDE, I find that my workflow for any non-trivial task almost always involves multiple programs and windows, and switching is a pain.

And when I'm making plots for my thesis, it's text editor and terminal, and then multiple matplotlib plot windows popping up when I run the command from the terminal. If I don't want to spend all my time moving the plot windows around so that I can see the code that made them whilst I decide my next move, then multiple monitors are a godsend.

It's not like I'm leaving my email or facebook up permanently - that would be a terrible idea. My browser is minimised (unless I'm typing code based on online docs) and spotify is over on another desktop.
i don't think any real dude having enough money would keep it in a local currency when he can just buy euro bonds or foreign currency $ or Euro etc ... it i guess only had effected small fishes to some extent, but at the end of the day, the question remain did it help at all curb corruption. Corruption like water will pave its way in terms of monetarily. they will find a way out ... it's not big deal ... such efforts despite looking promising, will be futile.

So my conclusion 'corruption' is not a monetary issue, it's a system issue, fix the system.... and in order to have a 'healthy' system just like we see in the 1st World, everyone makes at least what they deserve or can live good enough ... if not luxurious.

after you give them reasonable good salary keep a check, and hire 'educated' people.

This worked here in Pakistan, our traffic police 'was' most corrupt, Govt raised their salaries 3x .... no more bribe ... they inducted Graduate Students and trained!!! at least our Traffic police dudes are now at Lahore City of Pakistan ... corruption free!!
That was exactly his point.
> That should speak volumes of where we've fallen as a country.

Yeah, it's obviously substantially below FDR interning 100,000 Japanese people [1] based on their ethnicity. Or spraying black neighborhoods with toxic chemicals to test on them in the 1950s. [2] Or J Edgar Hoover's decades-long parade of power abuses and rights violations of the American People. Or Lyndon Johnson inserting us - hundreds of thousands of drafted young men - into a civil war in Vietnam, in which we helped to directly kill vast numbers of people with no clear plan or explanation for why we were there. Or the testing of hundreds of nuclear weapons on US soil, with little concern for how it would harm citizens. Or Sherman burning down Atlanta. Or Nixon's parade of abuses. Or the CIA's countless, terrifying programs in the 1970s. Or how the FBI tried to get MLK to kill himself. Or prohibition and the terrible results that imposed upon the people (eg rampant organized crime). Or the 50 year war on drugs and the horrific toll that has taken on the people.

We used to treat our people with the utmost dignity and respect.

Meditation. It is the practice of being present in the moment and being aware of your actions. That directly translates into "catching yourself" by requiring you think about everything you do before you do it and be aware of what you're doing in the moment.

I'm insure about who has the upper hand, but I feel like SoM manufacturers know what they are doing and are where they are based on merit whereas Android is there because it was available when it mattered and gained momentum, not because of any technical merit. Android as a developer ecosystem is a train wreck. I have better tooling for deeply embedded bare metal platforms than I have for Android userspace applications.
Mathematicians, despite the fact that the field is called "Computer Science"
I've found there's a correlation between expertise in a given technology stack and the gravitas given to complaints about that stack.

Having built with all the methods mentioned in the article, I couldn't imagine building a modern web application without a framework (my current preference being Angular 4).

I was recently able to package an entire 30+ view application into a single 650k bundle with webpack. If you tie that kind of app to bare minimum microservices, running off of well planned DB and caching schemas (that can power any interface imaginable), then having to go back to the server for every single micro-view doesn't make sense.

This is doubled... tripled if you think about the effect on mobile page load speed from anything but the best connections.

My point being, it might make more sense to exhaust every avenue and refine your own development skills before writing a generalized, negative leaning blog post on your company's site.
This is exactly what I'm talking about though, evolution was already proven long before the 1930s, and yet doctors went against an obvious evolutionary truth that breastmilk from a healthy, well-fed mother is superior to processed formula all because a few "studies" proved it??

A lot of is more in what was taken away rather than what was added.

As someone who is occasionally accused of being too pro-Go on HN... I actually have no problems thinking of Go as a really nice and refined 1990s language. Another type of "Java done right". (I say "another" because I think C# has a really good claim to that as well, albeit in a very different direction.) There's a place for that in the world. As much as I love the cutting edge of programming languages too, I'm not sure that we're anywhere near as far along on knowing how to build really big systems with them as a lot of people think we are. (There's only one way to get there though, and I absolutely encourage people to keep trying.)
"Who he is: Schulz, 61, is a former president of the European Union"

No, he is the former president of the European Parliament. Also the German system is very different from the US and the chancellor is the most powerful political position in Germany, but not the equivalent to the US president.

>>Is there a reason why they all seem to have the same blind spot?

I haven't figured this one out. I think they all buy into the myth that customer service doesn't scale / is a cost center / doesn't have ROI, etc.

Except in my business we don't do anything even close to a Postmates (where I agree, CS should be priority #1) but we ship items around the country and do like 60-80 orders per day, and we made the decision a few years ago to seriously care about email response time, always pick up the phone between certain hours, return voicemails, ship things within a discrete timeline, and more importantly, offer refunds and accept blame 99% of the time something goes wrong.

The goodwill we get and social media cred from the customer service is worth a lot (tough to measure), but we also can measure ROI on the emails we reply to and phone calls we take. We find that tons of people will email or call in with an irrelevant question that has nothing to do with buying something, we'll answer it well, and they are then very likely to buy something immediately after. Customers like to know a human is there for them! Our CS department nearly has positive ROI from measurable tasks, to say nothing of the untrackable rewards mentioned above (and the feeling that we aren't scumbags, which is really the main reason we decided to do it).

In an era where everyone runs customer service like Comcast, standing out can be worth a ton. We also ship product slightly worse than Amazon Prime, which is pretty damn good - in today's market everyone wants things as fast as Amazon and don't want to buy things from random websites, and I understand! So if we can come close to that shipping time (USPS Priority Mail flat rate boxes are 2 days to most major metropolitan areas - even from the coast like we are), then that picks up repeat business and people talking about how fast we ship on Twitter/Instagram/etc.

It just doesn't seem that difficult to get right. But maybe it is.

EDIT: Well, "difficult" is subjective. It took us over 12 months to get our CS pipeline working well. But that was more "hard" than "difficult" - it just required a lot of work to mold it into the shape we wanted. The overall design was pretty simple: Just take care of customers at any cost.
Intro to Probabilistic Programming and Clojure's Anglican
OP's note and my comment are about considering the option of no framework.

Instead of choosing JQuery (on inertia) or the current fad, consider just using current base language features and best practices.

It might be a better choice.

As a bonus, to your point, you're then far less worried about finding future devs with your library/framework-specific experience.
You are right that it is the evolution of the sport, but I think it is driven by the increasing value (Billions of dollars at stake), more than the equipment.

Ask HN: How do you use 3D printers?
I am primarily interested in FDM (building in layers by melting filament).

A recent report says most use in US and Europe is in professional product development.

The image portrayed in every KS campaign of kids 3D printing at home, making their own toys and Mom helping does not ring true. I can see them being used in schools under instruction but imagine them collecting dust at home.

3D printers range in cost from $100 to $5,000 and beyond. Where is the point beyond which cost does not equate to value or benefits? It seems to me that the limitations of FDM are imposed by the materials and rate of deposition issues far more than the mechanics of the printer. In other words, once you get past cheap and flimsy construction the incremental gains per dollar spent are minimal if not non-existent. Is this true? Is a $5,000 printer 10x better than a $500 printer and 50x better than a $100 printer.

Put a different way, if you want to do your won small scale production, you could buy 50 printers for $100 each or five for $1,000 each. Ignoring logistics, are the printed results 10x better or better enough to justify going 10x slower with five printers?

I see 3D printing services out there but can't understand who might be using them when you can buy printers for relatively little money. Unless you are printing hundreds of something or dozens of a part that takes hours to print, what's the use case? Are any of these companies making money or are they chasing a loosing proposition in hopes that it will turn profitable in the future?

Context: I am looking to invest in the sector. I know it has a ton of potential. I am trying to separate reality from fantasy.

We use 3D printers in my manufacturing business. However, we have a full machine shop so 3D printing is used for "look and feel" much more so than anything else. We literally don't care about print quality at all. We are using an older Makerbot. That's the extent of my experience in the domain.
No, indeed! This obsession with "undefined behavior" and the desire to eliminate it from the language spec is something recent; when I learned C, we all just understood such gaps in the spec to be places where the compiler writer would do whatever was reasonable for the target platform.
Yes correct (and not saying that top schools are really top; good article on selection bias a few weeks ago on this).

For one, good customer service is hard.

Also, customer service in that space is costly, particularly because these businesses already operate at a loss to gain market share.

I doubt most folks take out holiday insurance. Typically it's sold in a fairly scammy way similar to how ski pass insurance is sold -- "protect your trip!!" all for a ripoff fee with tons of exclusions. Mobile phone carrier insurance you would also have to elect to pay for and also has a negative expected value.

Homeowner's insurance/renter's insurance would likely cover it. I'm not sure I'd want to make a claim against my homeowner's policy for such a small amount though. I've fortunately never had to rely on it but i've heard rumor of not using it on small ticket items.
It can. U2 did something similar in Vancouver - you needed to show the credit card the ticket was bought with in order to get in. It created huge lineups (a couple hours long) and a lot of fans missed the opening band (Mumford & Sons) [1]. Eventually they just started letting everyone in without checking credit cards, so they could get in before U2 came on.

Maybe it works for the 20,000-seat arenas NIN plays in, but it sure didn't work for a 54,000-seat stadium.

GLSL programmers may rejoice in learning that `1.` is accepted syntax too.
I don't think so at all. It seems to me that people are defending a racist by pretending he's being sarcastic. No wonder we have such a problem with police shootings. I mean the cop literally says he's a racist and implies his colleagues are, but no, he must be sarcastic. The lengths people go to defend cops are incomprehensible and honestly, disgusting.
I worked at a small business that made working from home mandatory one day a month for all employees (whatever day was convenient for each employee, not all at the same time). On multiple occasions they'd tell people to just stay home. Bad snowstorms and power outages, mostly. It worked really well, because everyone know how to get stuff done when remote.
Not sure if you missed the entire rest of the thread, but we're talking about the scalpers. The event attendee in your scenario would have gone with or without the scalpers existence.
Boxers have much stronger punches and would break their hands. Boxers end their careers by punching someone without their gloves. It has happened many times in the past. MMA punch much lighter because it is a different style and skill set.
Yes, you're right - but only the extremely technically literate will understand that. Look how long it's taken the masses to figure out that central banks are an oligarchical control system. You don't have to convince me that the new masters are no better than the old - gen pop only cares that the current masters suck.
Haha well said! I think about this every freaking day. ZFS is about the only pice of software I use I don't literally want to grab the author(s) by the throat and choke them, asking, "Seriously?? you think this tire fire is easy to understand, configure and debug??!!111oneoneone" ok I get its mostly written by engineers, but it's used by normal people. Your configuration syntax makes very little sense, your debug messages are not very clear, and documentation on average sucks, exceptions being BSD documentation and their man pages.

Never said there weren't extenuating circumstances, but that doesn't make formula in any way comparable to breastmilk from a healthy, well-fed mother, only that it's a necessary evil sometimes.
Oddly enough, I got the opposite impression: FP is about making complicated things simple.

There's some sort of epiphany that naturally occurs after fiddling with FP for a certain amount of time. After it winds down, your perception of how to solve problems changes drastically.

If only because of the increased awareness is worth the trouble to play with it a bit. I sincerely encourage you to do so.

Most shareholders don't like dividends because of the tax treatment compared to stock buybacks. It's still less liquid than a public market.

As far as those other examples, I don't know their full histories. From my memory amazon has had a break-even policy on purpose which investors are ok with. FB was profitable for about a year before IPO and its stock went to half of IPO for a year because people were worried about it's numbers until they got a lot of a money through mobile.
I boxed a little and worked out and hit a heavy bag for years. I never would punch someone because I'm not that kind of man and secondly I would more then likely break my hand.
Sure, they participated willingly, but they aren't happy about paying an unnecessary middleman who adds cost but provides no value.

Hence the "screwing" part.
It's usually called "off premises theft" coverage. It's a somewhat expensive option for most homeowner's policies. (Some policies include it by default, and some don't.)
Good point. Maybe this 'scope' could eventually be handled with another layer to predict eye trace. It would require a lot of eye tracking data. I used to be a film editor and I think this might be similar to how composition influences cut techniques. I think this sort of thing is pretictable in context of film editing but that we don't have enough words to describe it.

Example:
When cutting a scene with a lot of people eyes, you can really push the limits because of the high likelyhood that the audience will have a certain amount of focus on some eyes.

So I can understand the €500, as I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable carrying that much cash around. But the articles also said there were calls to abolish the $100 (?) and £50 notes. Which I find really surprising.

The £50 note is not that different in value from the €50, and there's a lot of atms here that simply will not stock up €20 notes and good luck finding an atm that still dispenses €10 notes.

(Maybe it's a deliberate move by the banks to force people into using digital payments, if they can't get smaller denominations easily - it'd definitely be a 180)
