Would be interesting to tie that to ratings. Have a diverse set of people read lots of code (samples from projects large and small, in different languages, etc.) and rate it on things like "easy to understand" and "easily extendible", then correlate that with styles. I'd be very interested in how I score and what I can improve.

ICOLERT ICO ALERT ON PornToken
In Europe, some grocery chains have orange press machines so you can make yourself some really fresh orange juice.
They are afraid of not living up to a 9 digit valuation and being able to make VCs money, so they are scrambling for any edge they think they have.

Its the same kind of move that was behind twitter killing off their API.

Calling this "a commitment to do open source right" is insulting to their user's intelligence.
> restaurant quality meals, for cheap, large selection, with zero effort

If this were ever to happen - and what I know of food chemistry makes me strongly skeptical - you would definitely see it in actual restaurants way before you get it at home. Because for a restaurant, if you can effectively replace a human costing >$40k/yr with a change in supply chain and a fancy machine, you can easily afford to pay $40k for the machine alone. A consumer would never afford that.

(Same goes for fully autonomous cars.)

As for the "reducing food waste" concept - no store actually wants to achieve this. Think about it - actively trying to get people to buy less of what you sell is pretty bad for business.

You misunderstand, I was referring to WHY these sorts of articles have value, which seemed to me to be the topic of our exchange. Google would not have released a statement on this topic without this article. Likewise, if others have additional information (such as witnesses or journalists at other companies) they are more likely to come out with it.
Did you ask for an adjustment? I guess they can't read your mind, and thus they don't know that you're hoping to get that reduction. If you gently ask them, they can consider your direct request.
Right, but the OP's point is that if I watch your kid for you, and you think I'm doing an OK job, then you and I can reach an arrangement separate from UberSitting. Say UberSitting charges $15/hr, where I get $10/hr and they get $5/hr. When you pick up your kid, I could say "hey, if you pay me $12/hr, then you'll save $3/hr" and then I make an extra $2/hr and UberSitting makes nothing. In other words, once you make that initial connection, you don't need UberSitting anymore.

This is one of the reasons why those cleaning service companies like HomeJoy have floundered, btw.

HN is made up of two groups in ever constant warfare, the yin and yang, as it were- the group who thinks that programming should be fun, experimental and enjoyable, and the group that thinks that programming is a means to the end of getting a product to market and nothing more.

Whenever a post from one group (such as the article) comes out, a post from the other (such as OP) will quickly appear. And everyone loves it :)

For what it's worth, I think that both perspectives are valid. It depends only on your goals.

1. The author is posting one of these lists EVERY DAY(!)

2. The author puts in the About: "Since ideas are useless if you don’t share them with the world, I decided to post them here. If you like any of them, go for it, make them."

3. Also in the About: "Sometimes interesting, sometimes thought provoking, and often enough pretty stupid.

> when the person is underage

This feels like post-hoc reasoning, given that the parents are involved, and that the person can also stop, transfer, whatever on their own later on.

> while they were still a child

Referring to 17-year-olds as 'children' is simply being disingenuous. You can join the army at 17.
The problem is the founders did come from that world and tried to consumerize it. If they'd focused on per-juice-cost (thus, high volume) and gone from attended to semi-attended (office) or unattended (vending machine) it might have won.

They also could have just built a "scrappier" v1.0 hardware product at a lower cost (maybe with rollers or something) at 50% BOM cost and subsidized it a bit more. At $200 + $6-8 per pack they might have been successful; at $200 + $200/mo for 30 packs they probably would have been.

I find this line really funny for some reason. (Juicero has been the laughingstock of the tech community over their go to market, pricing, and marketing/business models, and we are now looking at the pieces as they exploded over this fact.)

So I had to try really, really hard not to reply to your innocent comment with mock surprise - like no! You think?

I've read so many studies that show how diet and exercise and vitamin supplementation can boost your natural T levels (still within the natural range, though). And sleep of course. I encourage you to search around the web.

What's kind of scary is that the natural range is so large - like 300 - 1000 ng/dl for testosterone, but you will literally feel like a different person if you fix all of the above factors properly and go from say 350 to 600. And living in that higher T state for months and years at a time, you will start to look different as well (generally in a good way for men).
I looked at those, but my wife thought I was crazy for looking at $400+ Chromebooks when much cheaper ones were available. She was right, as long as I was willing to pass on the convertible form factor. I just picked up the Acer Chromebook 14 from Costco for $260. It has a nice IPS display with decent resolution, and the rest of it looks good as well.

I've wondered if some of the problem here is how many people involved are so well off, the VCs especially, that they've forgotten what $40/week is to the vast bulk of people in the world, or even in the industrialized countries. That's on the order of 5% of the median total income and a great deal more than 5% of the median disposable income in the US. I wonder how many people just forgot how expensive that is and how small the market is for that level of extravagance.
Squarespace is nice...
Basically off-topic, but this might be one of the few places someone might know: does anyone know which of the quad-core 8th generation Intel CPUs that are about to come out in laptops support TSX-NI? I can't find this information on their site.
Believe it. I'm based in Austin, and a few years ago was making about $125k as a senior dev when Apple came calling. They wanted me to move out to California which I didn't want to do, so to blow them off, I did a small calculation (cost of living, california taxes, etc) to arrive at the conclusion that at the very minimum I'd need $180k for that move to even start to make sense for me.

The recruiter explained how they could easily pay me a $140-160K base and give me about $40k in RSUs to get me up to $200k if I was the right candidate. I'd never heard of RSUs before that and he had to explain what they were to me.

The easy with which it was offered definitely helped me understand why $250k in total comp was definitely something that could be done at the bigger tech companies
I think it's interesting that few/none of the "Technical hiring done right" startups I'm aware of deduplicate the process of attesting that a person can accomplish some software development. So far as I can tell, they outsource the process of screening, but they don't provide the same screening to multiple companies.
One big reason for padding that is not directly related to player-on-player contact is getting hit with the puck. I play in beer league hockey (non-check) as a defense man and I wear full shoulder and chest pads to protect from the puck, not hits from other players. At the pro level, taking a hit from a puck without padding could easily cause very severe injury.
That part I did not know, most of our professors in our first year engineering classes strongly recommended it, though. I co-oped at a company only about 100 miles from my university, though other students were from out of state schools.

The other thing I just thought of was I co-oped at IBM for three semesters which was the max for a location but they had openings in a different country, I probably should have done that instead of staying in the USA for my last co-op, are most of the Waterloo students going to Canadian companies?
There's this thing called overtraining (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtraining) and I've found it's very hard to find that sweet spot between "not pushing hard enough" and "pushing too hard". I've a climbing partner who pushes me hard (and I'm thankful for that), but recently I've started to wonder if it's too hard, at least in the mental space. It's one thing to be a little outside your mental comfort zone, it's an entirely different thing to be constantly scared out of your wits, even when you're on top rope.

I may be lucky, or I may be ignorant, but thus far not having a degree at all hasn't particularly impaired me.

I think it's interesting that there's nothing equivalent to a professional engineering qualification for software. Worst case, hiring people for a few months to do some software development and being able to say "They developed some software" would be a useful thing to look up rather than conducting the spanish whiteboard inquisition every time.
OK, but:

1. CL implementations are free to do static type analysis based on declarations (and some do) and they are also free to signal run-time errors if you assign a value not of the declared type (and some do).

2. Not all storage locations are variables, e.g.:

Welcome to Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.10-r16479M (DarwinX8664)!
? (setf a (make-array 10 :element-type '(unsigned-byte 32)))
#(0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)
? (setf (aref a 0) 'foo)
> Error: FOO doesn't match array element type of #<VECTOR 10 type (UNSIGNED-BYTE 32), simple>.

The point is that focusing on "variables" makes tacit assumptions about programming languages that aren't necessarily true.

You're prematurely optimizing.

If someone is roadblocked and cannot work (login issues, etc) their problem needs to be solved immediately.

If resolving that issue is causing the programmer or DBA themselves to become roadblocked and slip behind on work, they themselves can communicate that too many people are falling through the cracks to HR or whomever else is involved and get the gears moving on a fix.

You could think of the chancellor of Germany as the equivalent to the Prime Minister of the UK: elected by parliament and holds the real power in the country.

The president of Germany would be more like the Queen in the UK: head of state with mainly ceremonial powers, but doesn't take much of a roll in actually running the country.

The chancellor was originally a subordinate position to the King of Prussia and later the German Kaiser. After 1918, the Kaiser was replaced by the president, who had a much more diminished role than the Kaiser did, and the chancellor undisputedly became the most powerful position.

In the US, the president is both of those positions rolled into one, with the exception of being elected by the states rather than by Congress.
Yes. I'm bound to Word because that is what the publisher uses and has their templates in. If it was self publish then I would've been using Latex (or maybe even markdown) the whole time.
Except you would still be more likely to target other parents in the same close-by neighborhood, which would lead to a lot of repeat "business", at which point you would develop relationships with your neighbors with kids of a similar age.

I mean, a business accidentally creating closer, friendlier communities is great, but I think it'd still be a financial failure in the end, because once you've met all your neighbors with kids and trust them, you can just friend them on Facebook and say "Hey, can anyone watch Timmy while I run to the grocery?"
Of course not, but you can still market it that way.
