Maybe you would, and you know what? Good for you if you do.

Just about everyone I know would start a business, volunteer, do creative things, contribute to making the world a better place.

But, at the end of the day, I don't care how people spend their time or their money. If some fraction of the population wanted to bum around on their minimal UBI for the rest of their lives, fine by me. It's never going to lead to a life of luxury, and I quite honestly don't care if that's how they want to waste their lives.
Yea my hunch/hypothesis does not apply to slow languages like python. That's why I said a fast language that's compiled to native binaries. For example, D, Swift, or Go.
IMHO it is one of the best possibilities for the Fermi Paradox. Way better than the Dark Forest, we're alone, or all intelligent species destroy themselves alternatives. At least with this there is the possibility for our long range probes to make contact and exchange culture/technology.
In most States that is true. NY has restrictions in it, and I think CA does. Federal law allows up to 50 pounds of the stuff, before you need a permit. You can buy it at your local outdoor/sporting goods stores.
This is insane! They even hooked the ECG measurement circuits to the Gameboy via the flash cart!
With the complicated aws-based deployment schemes people are using these days, what's the chance that the db is on the same machine?
Yeah, I recall. Certainly that was a major screw up but, IMO, the users share part of the blame -- if they had a firewall in place this wouldn't have been an issue.
Can you clarify what you mean by this? You're Matt Kroll and you're confirming that you still work for MongoDB? (I'm afraid that nothing is obvious from anyone's usernames.)
Drinks are not complementary on regional flights unless you're in first class or have high enough status with the carrier (Diamond Medallion in Delta's case). Also, leg room on those regionals can be BRUTAL, and don't even think about bringing your rollabord unless you're willing to check it gate-side

I think there's a hubris to the idea that one can "ban speech" - you only ban the speech in the forum you can ban it in.

Banning speech in public only drives it underground and reduces the possibility of argument.
That's not "the christian version of sharia law". Think instead of something like the Spanish Inquisition.

Also, it's not like the christians have a monopoly on disaster relief, nor is it like christians are always helpful in a disaster. Remember the megachurch that had to be socially shamed into opening its doors for victims of Harvey?
They do, problem is they're masochists.
There is a rich literature on culture-bound syndromes [0], but the same phenomenon is visible in certain criminal behaviors. To state it succinctly, crimes can be memes.

In the US, for instance, the school shooting is a meme: it's just what you do when you are massively angry at society and want to take revenge on it. Previously, "going postal" [1] was a meme amongst angry postal workers.

In Italy, several years ago, there was a string of incidents of rocks being thrown from highway overpasses, striking cars. The government reacted by numbering all overpasses to make reporting easier, but AFAIK what really kept it from becoming a meme was an informal agreement with the media to relegate such news to small articles in the inner pages. When this was done, the number of imitators quickly petered out, and the meme disappeared.

As for acid attacks, this is a meme that came from south-east Asia (e.g. Pakistan), where it was endemic a few decades ago. It spread to the UK due to its large population of immigrants from those countries, and for a while it was mostly confined within the Asian (in the UK sense) community, but it has now spread into the general population.

This is clearly an unpleasant observation, but it is quite obvious if you have paid attention to the crime news over the last few decades. I remember acid attacks in the UK making the international news when I was a child. Back then they followed what the NPR article calls the "global pattern" ("males attacking young women and girls, relating to rejected sexual advances or marriage proposals or dowry-related attacks"), and the attackers were not native Britons. But if we could look at detailed statistics for this crime, I bet we would see both an increase in prevalence, and an increase in the percentage of British perpetrators.

It is very tempting to ascribe these criminal memes to purely non-cultural factors, such as the availability of firearms in the US, and their limited availability in the UK, but it does not really work. School shootings were not always as prevalent in the US as they are now [2], nor is their prevalence proportional to that of guns across countries [3]; rocks and overpasses still exist in Italy [citation needed]; and the availability of acid in the UK has not increased relative to other cheap instruments of harm (e.g. knives, hammers), nor relative to other countries.

BTW, the fact that acid attacks existed in Victorian times (but how common were they?) has no bearing on any of this. A meme can die out in a place and later be reintroduced from another source, just as a living organism can (e.g. horses in America).

I'm not sure to understand that p90 latency problem, the cpu is used somewhere anyway so even if you use another language you won't be able to server a request while doing some intense cpu work?
I suppose you also blame Tesla for promoting the excellent crash safety characteristics of their vehicles?

No sir, I don't misunderstand your stupid argument.

The only way Apple's competitors are ever going to care about user privacy is if they're shamed into it through competition. If anything, Apple ought to beat this drum more loudly.

(Also, your husband analogy is junk. For your analogy fit properly, we'd need to live in a world where it was the norm for husbands to be routinely dishonest and disloyal. And the wife would need to be a product rather than another equal human.)
Are there nuclear shelters for seven million people in Dallas?
About as likely as cooking ingredients somehow turning into a caked during shipping. Even an accident involving fire isn't likely to result in any additional risk. They get mixed in certain proportions and it takes some work to get them refined enough to be ready for ignition. Additionally, ignition requires a goodly amount of heat.
Maybe I'm spoiled, but I've had a hard time dipping my toes into Go due to the lack of batteries included frameworks (like Rails or Laravel). Can anyone recommend some resources to give it another shot?
it is really sad that the first thing that comes up with this issue is, "omg immigrants are causing this" vs, why this crime is actually happening.

this article points to a case of someone who most likely isn't an immigrant yet that is the first thing people rush to.

edit: according to the wikipedia page, a disproportionate number of the attacks using acid are against women. why not talk about that instead?
There is a correlation between the % of Muslim population and # of acid attacks. This could be interpreted different ways (i.e. perhaps Muslims are being targeted by others?)... But to call someone's viewpoint alt-right dogwhistle because they bring up the other obvious possibility is close-minded and is what leads to these sorts of problems in the first place.
My favorite line: "Go is huge in China". My first thought: don't they mean Weiqi!?
Idk, if given the choice between eating in the airport and eating in first, I always take eating in first, even though there are better options on the ground. It's part of the experience of being in first.

Re: "I never see meals on planes during domestic travel really": You'll get food (complementary in first, for purchase in main) if your flight is over 2 hour long AND you're not flying a regional jet (which you don't want to do for more than an hour anyway).
Indeed, grim as it may be, acid attacks are better than gun crime.
True. But I think it is the rise in acid attacks that is intriguing. Indeed, a rise in crime in general, and it is correlated, moderately, with Muslim % of population.

Take out the transport infrastructure and you've basically done the job and can dust of your hands and go home. Good luck keeping a megacity (or nation) fed when you destroy its ports and interchanges, polluting them with radiation such that they can't be put back into some form of action.

I agree. I happened to have visitedCappadocia and Derinkuyu during the week of the (orchestrated?) coup last summer. It was safe. The tourism companies already took a huge hit, for example at one point we were the only guests in our hotel.

Yes, that something being racial prejudice. Sad to see this attitude rife on HN.
A lot of the UK is "immigrant-heavy" (I've lived in Leicester and Boston, both of which fit that bill). Seems highly unlikely to be a causal link unless you can show a pattern across many areas.

Seems highly likely to me this is a result of improved and increased pressure over knife crime, pushing criminals into new methods, alongside increased exposure to the idea of acid attacks from news.

They already have, its called the open invention network, which uses similar theories iirc.
I've been using and relying on MongoDB for years (since 2010). It's pleasant to develop for, the query interface is awesome, and the library / ORM support is top notch (Mongoid on ruby, and Mongoose on node).

I also use Postgres regularly so I can compare the 2. And in my experience, I always enjoy working with Mongo more.

Many people don't care about the developer experience and rather focus on Mongo's lack of features like joins and transactions. There's definitely tradeoffs to choosing Mongo and I wouldn't criticize anyone for picking Postgres over Mongo, however the amount of belly-aching about how Mongo is "the worst" was always pretty ridiculous.
Surface tension
I live in Tower Hamlets and witnessed an acid attack a few weeks ago, the attacker was white and the victims were white. I don't feel unsafe here either.
One of Larry Wall's slogans for Perl is "Easy things should be easy, and hard things should be possible." In its own way, that's what has made Go the kind of success that Perl once was.

Perl was the glue language of the web and Go is the production language of the cloud.

I'm actually a bit scared to imagine a world in which Go was not created, given how much success I've personally had with it.

Thanks to the entire Go team.
I fly a lot. I think that the #1 thing that makes people hate flying is being inflexible about time. Transportation in general is complicated and has a lot of moving parts (traffic, weather, accidents, etc.). Expecting transportation to always be on time is a good way to always be frustrated with transportation. So if you book a flight expecting the aircraft to arrive at your destination by a certain time and then have an event planned soon after that, you're going to be VERY upset when you discover that the flight was delayed because of x
>Ah yes, the "if you don't like it, you can go back to where you came from" argument, in different clothing of course.

I really don't think that is a fair analogy to what he was saying. He's saying if you grow up in a particular system you can't just ride it out and claim willful ignorance.

Go back to where you came from is different, that would be saying you chose to come here and therefore why are you trying to change it.

I don't necessarily agree with either argument, but they are definitely significantly different ones.
Your website has virtually no information on it. I can't tell if I'm looking at a demo layout on ThemeForest with neural network generated content or what.
My introduction to Go was pretty recent about 2 years ago and we went all in. We had an internal tool that started out as a test MVP written in python. Demand was growing fast so a year later it was an absolute mess of tech debt.
We knew a significant refactoring was needed and figured the best thing to do was to just redesign and build from scratch. One of the guys had played with Go in his spare time so convinced all of us to just try it. Best decision ever, at least for this use case where we needed speed and stablilty. Go's native concurrency features were an absolute joy. It's really opinionated too so it ended up very convenient to use as a team with different coding styles. Thank you Go team!
Because Pinna nobilis is a protected and endangered species. Thus the whole point of this article explaining how to harvest it, avoiding the coast police not less, is plain wrong.
Just like the Jews in post WW1 Germany, it's great (from a certain point of view) to have some group you can point at and blame everything on. Much easier than actually addressing problems and gives people targets to hate.

The UK has been using immigrants, and by extension the EU, in that role for a long time.

(To be clear, I think this is wrong, but it's definitely how it is.)
> Russ discovered—that's the right word—that the generality of Go's methods meant that a function could have methods, leading to the http.HandlerFunc idea...more general ideas too, like the the io.Reader and io.Writer interfaces, which informed the structure of all the I/O libraries.

Big testament to great interfaces being hugely impactful. For me, the IO and HTTP interfaces are a big part of why Go is so nice to use; the libraries (including std) that emerged around those interfaces and their subsequent interoperability makes everything so coherent.

Congrats to the Go team and their amazing work!
It's a major milestone for a compiled language to have it be self hosting. Another is having a competing implementation of the compiler/runtime. That's legit; cool project and kudos to the beautiful Rust ecosystem.
If you don't care at all, then why are you okay financing that situation with your taxes?

¿que pasa con el planeta tierra?
I've been writing Go professionally, full-time, for the past five years.

I'm a polyglot, so before Go, I loved exploring every new language I could get my hands on[0]. I still do, for fun, but Go is the one language that has kept me hooked all this time. It's not for any single feature, or for the community (though that's a great part of it). It's because it's the only language which I feel gets out of the way for me and lets me write powerful, robust, and maintainable software quickly without having to think or struggle against the tools.

For me, Go is like trying to do surgery wearing latex surgical gloves, instead of wearing thick woolen mittens.

[0] Seriously: if you can name it, and there's a working Linux x86_64 compiler/interpreter for it, I've probably tried it.
It seems pretty obvious. Piracy is a synonym for particular sort of theft, but one that paints a very vivid picture of the person doing it as an outcast and a danger. If they had, for example, used the term 'digital shoplifting', which in the case of P2P is pretty close to reality, people would have brought their preconceived notions about the term which many associate more with teenage stupidity rather than hardened criminality.

Other synonyms for theft (larceny, burglary, robbery, etc) are too tied to the physical world to work for their purposes. The goal was to frame the conversation away from more accurate words like copying or infringement since those have more ambiguous moral connotations. Looking at the thesaurus entry for theft, I struggle to find a better alternative to piracy if the goal is to shape the way people think about the issue in your favor.
Yes, it's getting interesting. There are probably significant differences in chemical activity in cells that could be quantified and strictly detect in which state the organism is in.

Self-interest overrides politics in this case. Forcing employers to pay more is also likely to be preferable to helping the low-paid in a way that involved raising taxes.
This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but MongoDB no longer has much technical justification.

Compared to Mysql and Postgres, it does have an out-of-the-box partitioning scheme, which is something, and a reason to use it (although I'm not sure it outweighs the downsides).

Compared to newer cloud databases like Spanner, Citus, or Aurora which scale well but also provide your with ACID guarantees reminiscent of traditional RDMSes ... there's really not much there.

It's a tough catch-22.

Cryptocurrencies are so volatile that there's a non-negligible risk that locking away a large sum for 48 hours could potentially cost you nearly all of it.

And they're so hackable that not putting a time delay on withdrawals could also potentially cost you all of it.
Well, shucks. There goes my idea for blowing up the moon next 4th of July.

I wonder if these are sold at Microcenter. They're about 15-20 miles from one here in Michigan, although it's not like that particular store is their Headquarters or anything.

It is a shame there aren't more MicroCenter stores around, although I'm not sure really how they stay in business. It was logical that computing equipment would make the switch to being purchased primarily online[0]. Somehow MicroCenter competes well on price and very well on selection. That place is like a retail NewEgg, carrying all kinds of very specialized things. They've got everything from water cooling rigs (multiple brands), to oddities like shrink tubing, development boards, 3D printing supplies and every kind of upgrade for PCs you can think of. It's a place I avoid when I don't have an hour to sit around and a reasonable budget because I always leave there with more than I intended on purchasing but it's so nice that when I need an adapter to plug my one power supply cord into my two ports on my new graphics adapter, I can drive up the road.

Small tangent, yeah, but this product would fit really well over there.

[0] While I'm sure Apple stores do OK and full PCs probably sell OK in larger electronics chains, none of those chains carry anything resembling a reasonable selection of pieces/parts.

Except that it's just stupid to do that, you don't want to store that much data in one host, it goes against any sane architecture design, good luck when you're mb / cpu dies. Splitting data on smaller / cheap hosts is the way to go for ops / scaling / backups.

While I understand your metaphor, I don't understand your position. Are you against copyrights entirely? If you want to reform it, how so?

For example: if my friend who works on self-driving software for Google is at my house, should I just be able to download the source code from his work laptop onto a USB drive? The software distribution cost, like music, is near zero, so is this ok? If not, how is this example different than music?

I, for one, don't believe it is "absurd" that creators like musicians or Google be able to exert some control over how their creations are copied for a limited period of time. Currently the copyright system has run amuck and become far too creator-centric, but I think the basic idea is sound and makes a nice set of tradeoffs.

I also disagree that history somehow makes it obvious that incentives are not needed to make music. When the printing press came along and drastically reduced that cost of distributing music, copyright systems followed almost immediately thereafter. What historical precedent of an environment with low cost distribution but without copyright systems makes it obvious that the copyright part is unnecessary?
Have you tried postgresql with JSONB support?

I used to use Mongo a while ago and found it a very painful experience (this was a few years ago). With postgresql I can use SQL and get the benefits of document storage, and so-far I've found it efficient and rock-solid.
Just do a bit of digging. Both names dropped appear to be accurate from usernames/profiles. Matt did indeed leave MongoDB for Google, that much is accurate.

>But reading a few headlines and articles once a week isn't going break anyone.

Mightn't this be a worst of both worlds scenario? If you totally ignore politics and abstain then you have a neutral impact. If you only "read a few headlines" as you suggest, and base your actions off those then you're highly susceptible to fake news and easy manipulation (while having a false sense of satisfaction for "participating").

What follows is that, only those who steep themselves in the minutia of each issue should have strong opinions, which actually seems about right.
If you're young, in an area with frequent attacks, moving with a gang, and not on a trajectory from the store to the location of your claimed clogged drain, then yes, I'd say it's pretty incriminating.

Street officers are usually pretty experienced and capable of making a judgement whether this should be looked into further. If needed, the evidence and circumstances can be reviwed in court.

It's not an all or nothing situation. We're capable of nuance.
Pots, probably. You do your business in a chamber pot, and there was probably someone whose job it was to collect it all. The solid wastes get composted, the liquid gets processed for its ammonia, used in cleaning.
You're right, it's a 2.5-10 scale. For future reference, the median review score for a hotel on booking.com is around 8.1, based on a bunch of scraped data. Varies a lot by location, though. Business travelers also tend to rate almost a full point lower than any other group (family, couple, solo, groups), but I'm not sure if you can break out that information on their UI.

My personal heuristic for using booking.com is rating > 8.0, then skim over the negative reviews for dealbreakers. Bad ratings for restaurants or concierge or whatever is fine for me, but "room reeked of cigarette smoke" is not. Positive reviews don't really have a lot of signal to me, but YMMV.
