With a blog for Machine Learning where Apple shares some of its practices and now open-sourcing its iOS kernel for the first time, Apple is entering a new era of Post-Jobs where every company has started to believe the only way to attract quality resources is to contribute back to the society - Remember how this community scared FB to rewrite React License. It's a great way forward for FOSS and hopefully one that can set up the right way for Post-Cook Apple.
As a Dane, this is what I grew up with. One of the reasons I love living in New York is that it's simply non-existent.

However, I do think the Law of Jante exists in most small communities where being the same is considered a virtue.

> something available in C++11 (that's C++ released in 2011)

Nit: The standard was finalized in 2011 - August 2011 to be more specific, so quite late in the year. Full compliance in various compilers was not achieved for quite some time after that - MSVC being quite problematic in that regard.

Major projects - esp. those compiled on multiple systems across several compilers, like Firefox - absolutely could not just go ahead and start using C++11 in 2011.

I was really into native development around that time, and C++11 was the first time I was exposed to the complexities and gotchas around standardization vs. implementation. I've stopped paying as much attention since, but I believe C++14 fared much better.
How did those users come to learn about VLC Player and what would stop them from learning about the fork the same way?
Yes and no. I live in the USA. I shop in a few different supermarket each catering to a particular class (if you will). Mind you, the overall selection reflects the income level the store serves. But that doesn't completely explain what goes into the carts.

Long to short, I'm not so sure the less well to do are making decisions that keep them healthy. Soda, ice cream, sugary cereals, etc. These things are in the upper class stores aw well, but it seem less people are interested.

I agree with you. But I want to added that the consumers' choices factor in as well.

HTML was created in Switzerland. Linux in Finland. Not sure what "software" companies are for you. Google? Well, China has enough Internet counterparts (Tencent, Wechat, Alibaba etc.). Softbank (Japan) just bought ARM (UK). Regarding "software" companies like Microsoft, SAP (DE) is quite a decent size. Nokia (Fi) was once leading edge too. Sure you have not heard about Skype and Transferwise, but they do exist. Maybe you should come out of your little bubble once in a while?

"She still feels sick about the conviction she was compelled to hand out, to a man who was initially stopped by police for being in a city park after nightfall. Although the law was, in her view, deeply flawed, she felt she had no choice but to vote with the majority. Glaser herself carries a Swiss Army knife on her keychain.

“It just seemed like a trumped-up charge,” she says. “And it certainly doesn’t seem like it’s enforced equally across the board.”

This reads like a textbook example discussing the case for jury nullification.
Bad food, far too little sleep, and sedentia... the perfect trifecta to cause depression, anxiety and obesity (and later diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimers).
That's good to keep in mind. Some friends and coworkers are big on the 'happy lights' but they (the lights) make me want to pull out my eyeballs. Guess we'll have to get umbrellas and stand in the rain to be happy!
Or maybe some people legitimately were concerned for your health?

I know the motives of the judgy people who were a part of my life better than you do.

This kind of comment really should just never happen. In one sentence, you are casually dismissing conclusions about my own life that have taken me decades to arrive at.

Also, GP was pointing out the double standard when it comes to how anorexia and obesity are treated by society.

The article is about France, not the US. The observation that Americans are oversensitive about this could be deemed "off topic." The article lays out the completely valid reasons why France is concerned about a) excessive emphasis on thinness in its country and b) photos not simply lying to you about how people look.

Really, it is kind of BS to act like there is something wrong with requiring a two word label notifying you that the photo has been retouched. We are inundated daily with endless photos. Knowing which are legitimate representations of what actual people look like vs photo shopped fantasy bull seems like a completely valid desire for a long list of reasons.

That's actually really surprising. Thank you for your input.

I had assumed it would have been -teach basics of code, explain the thinking behind it and why to use certain things at such time, then slowly expand upon that. Hmm certanly something for me to think about.
Its effecting all income levels, but I suspect not evenly. The pattern I see (which is anecdotal) is higher income people appear healthier (i.e., are on average less overweight).

Sometimes I wonder if that's cause or correlation. That is, ill and wealthy just don't go together.
Email works reasonably well because a) we can afford to burn computational resources, b) spamming is not very lucrative, and c) we can hide the impact from end users.

Looking at my mail logs, 96% of recent mail on my server is spam. Sampling what I get, it's mostly incredibly dumb-ass garbage, built to take mostly small amounts of money from very unsophisticated people. Nobody is getting rich off it, partly because spamming is illegal and they will put you in jail [1] for it if you do it at large enough scales to make real money. Most importantly, end users don't see the spam, so they don't even know how terrible the medium is.

For financial markets, the way it gets solved in the real world is mostly by investors moving to better markets, ones that are strongly regulated. And it's not just investors. Companies will list on highly regulated markets like the NYSE and the NASDAQ as shows of strength and as ways of tapping the more available, less expensive capital that comes from trust.

So my bet is that the market will solve it by driving entire marketplaces or kinds of assets out of business.

20% real, 80% hype. There's lots of partial automation in apparel, but handling fabric is still very tough. Especially for operations after the first one, where you have to deal with a non-flat unit of several pieces sewn together. They apparently can make T-shirts, but not jeans.

They're not doing manipulation in an unstructured environment. They're trying to structure apparel sewing rigidly enough that they need a bare minimum of adaptation to variations. That's how production lines work.
I have said this multiple times, but I am going to say it again. I have always used Firefox and Chrome, side by side since Chrome first came out and I have never, ever, in all that time, even once thought that Chrome was faster than Firefox (or vice-versa) for my day to day use. Speed has just never been an issue, yet I see it quoted in almost every comparison between Firefox and Chrome...

Firefox has always been my main browser, with Chrome only used if required, although I generally have them both open. I am a heavy user of tabs and multiple windows, and Firefox eats Chrome's lunch in this area, while using far less memory.

Still, very good to see Mozilla back on track again and producing great browser software. Keep it up Mozilla!

It would be nice to see more of iOS open sourced. Not everything, but enough to run the GUI and maybe Safari.

I think that could be a huge win for Apple. Lower end, open source iOS compatible phone could attack Android offering, particularly at the lower end. They'd gain control over the market (as it would be derived from their source, and compatible with their ecosystem) without having to do much work.

Honestly, if Apple don't do it, someone should come up with an open source iOS compatible offering, which developers could easily re-target their apps to.

A couple will make 3 kids and say "I can't do without a car". But the couple never ponder the cost of making a family.

This is simply mistaken. The cost of making a family is nearly always what people are thinking about in that situation.

If you're saying that people aren't careful enough when they have sex, then yeah, that's always been a problem. But what's to be done? The kids exist now and you need to provide for them. Now what?
That only applies for location access. Even then, you'll see an arrow in the status bar and there's a page in the settings that lets you see which applications are actually accessing your location in the background, and how often.

This article needs to be shared everywhere, on all subjects, to everyone!
The way I’ve heard it explained is that poor people will base their grocery purchases based on price, and that gets to GP’s point about not subsidizing corn. The reasoning goes: cheap corn leads to low-end food being filled with corn syrup, which leads to poor people eating tons of sugar, which leads to health problems among poor people. The solution, under this scheme, is to help steer the schedule of food prices so that it’s cheaper for people to eat healthy food (eliminate corn subsidies).
> Increase in salary for an engineer comes in changing jobs, not internal promotion (which, for places where this is even a concept, is usually constrained by some arbitrary limit, where as job change depends on your negotiation skills and resume). We're optimising for what is successful.

I agree that there are limits internally, if your goal is to stay on the "tech ladder". Those limits carry over across companies once you get to a certain point, right around where you hit the "Lead/Principal Engineer" point. Once you get there, a switch to another company is more often going to be for technology and problem domain (e.g. to do something "more interesting") than for a promotion (pay increase). Promotion by job switching is less likely at this point simply because there are fewer positions of these types required.

It's different for a switch to the "non-tech ladder". Even "laterally" (e.g. "Lead/Principal Engineer" -> "(Senior) Engineering Manager") is effectively a promotion: the compensation is better and the leadership is more likely to listen. It also opens up more opportunities up the ladder internally.

> I know there are lame fan boys, but many of us are actually value focused and realize that a more powerful language is cheaper across the entire product life cycle.

This is by no means absolutely true. It depends strongly on the product and the duration of the life cycle, among many other things. Language choice sometimes has a significant impact which can be positive or negative. Most of the time it simply doesn't matter that much.
Absolutely, but don't let this caveat stop you from considering this sort of advice if your depression has crossed that threshold. For those of us who have been there it's little strategies like this that keep us from crossing that threshold for too long.
At least until we repeal the 2nd Amendment.
To be fair, the law seems to be quite a bit more specific than that. It applies to commercial use of models "whose physical appearance has been modified through the use of image processing software to slim down or thicken the model's silhouette" according to the translation on this site. [1]

I can't think of any case where `switch(true)` is what you actually want to do, barring some weird compiler workaround or hack or something.

And the first one is akin to:

if (data == 1) {}
if (data == 2) {}
if (data == 3) {}
...
if (data == thevalueIactuallywant) { doSomething(); }
When you do your research you will find that you are right.

A dictator gets over 95% of popular votes. Like in Syria, Egypt, North Korea. In 2015 elections (second in the last) Erdogan's party lost majority to form the government by itself (got 40%). After months of negotiations/bargaining political system could not produce a government and elections are done again and this time they could get the enough majority (49%).

The system in Turkey does not allow irregularities. All political parties have the right (and they do) to be represented at the voting polls. They are the very people who run the process at every polling station, from getting ID cards, finding voters in registries, counting the votes after polls are closed, etc. As you have said you can not find such fraud cases since other political parties and each one of them has to be complicit for a fraud.

Creatine weight gain doesn't make you fat: it plumps up muscles, making you look more muscular, which, in turn, makes you look like you've lost weight.
Yup. But, evidently, the cost of healthcare is due to the system. What those critics fail to admit is that the biggest component of that system are the people seeking care, and the average baseline health there of.

Americans want to abuse their bodies (and minds) and expect healthcare to remain cheap. It doesn't work that way. Healthcare resources are limited. Increase demand and prices increases.
That's fine, if I cared about downvotes I wouldn't frequent Hacker News. I'm happy to state my opinion, and others are free to judge those comments with up or down votes (or replies). That's how discourse works. I'm just happy to have the chance to participate in discussions with my fellow humans.
I don't think so. It used to be like 10-15 years ago when many of these startups were created, but things have changed since then. Many people are in denial though since they already have their education, apartment and insurance.

It used to be possible (or at least not impossible) to rent an fairly cheap apartment close to the city and find a way to do something on your own. Conditions for getting a student loan, leave of absence or unemployment used to be more favorable.

Since 10 years ago the government have been actively trying to get more people to work. With the consequence that it is harder to do anything else. Studying, getting unemployment (risking your job) and living (housing costs have doubled) has all become harder to do. Most people these days would risk their job or apartment and do something on their own, because chances are will have a significant reduction in life quality if they fail.

Most startup activities these days seem to be running around cocktail parties trying to get (more) investors for you local clone of something else. Which is understandable, people need to pay their mortgage and attain social standing, but it's largely the opposite of what has made some Swedish startups successful in the first place.

One could try getting investments. But while Sweden is in generally has high degree of equality, it can also be very insular. Especially in recent times as social status matters a lot. You shouldn't expect to show up and compete based on your ideas. It's very much "who you know".
What does eating take-out have to do with obesity ?

HN helped, but I'd credit WordPress.
I strongly disagree. You can be an extremely good athlete without any supplement "stack" whatsoever. Maybe creatine helps eke out slightly better performance in certain activities, but like with most supplements it's really not worth the risk to your kidneys and other internal organs. If you exercise, eating well and sleeping enough is sufficient.
Someone who can't write (or doesn't understand the concept behind) a switch statement shouldn't really be called a junior developer...
I could be confused too, but I would rewrite it as

"It is a universal practice for a young woman to fart in her husband's lap."
There is a complex relationship there that can be summed up pithily as "Them that has, gets."
Ok, I'm relatively new to professional coding (I tried to be an engineer for a while before being lured in by the programming money). I have a question: what exactly is a junior developer? I mean, if you don't understand how a 'switch' works, I would have thought that basically means you can't program, and shouldn't be working as a programmer.

Is it really the job of non-junior programmers to teach the junior ones how to code? What level would you expect a "junior C++ developer" to be?
I've tried almost every anti depressant on the market and none of them worked. What did work for me is kratom. I've been taking it daily for about six months and it has completely turned around my mood and general enthusiasm. There are some minor side effects but they went away after six weeks or so. I know it might frowned upon to recommend what is basically an opiate for depression, but it has been a minor miracle for me.
Is there any "safe space" I can escape the ever increasing stupidity of our civilization? I try MOOCs, university degrees, etc. but it's just getting worse and worse. It's like the Nothing in Neverending Story that was taking over the world...

Maybe I'm missing something, but my impression of Brave was that behind the scenes it was just another Chromium browser. All the same little issues I have with Chromium were present in Brave when I tried it - exact same configuration tweaks (other than privacy stuff in Chrome) I needed to make to get me to a happy state. So aren't any of the visible speedups just a matter of the native adblocking? Are you comparing the speeds to Chrome/Chromium with adblocking?

Maybe Brave is more heavily customized than I thought?
How about using Discourse? I think it scales well. Would love to hear your experience with this.

A few months ago a young man (early 20's) came into a shop I sometimes hang out at. "What brought you to town?" "Recovery." He'd been in town for 3 weeks, and sober for 3 weeks and 1 day.

I asked him, "People usually know when their problems when substances started, when did it start for you?"

When he was in 3rd grade his teacher thought he was disruptive. They put him on some kind of medication for "ADHD". He told his parents in 9th grade that he was going to kill himself if they didn't take him off the pills. Soon after discontinuing his "ADHD" medications was when he started experimenting with self-medicating... Tobacco, alcohol, etc.

His latest bender was on alcohol & laughing gas (nitrous oxide [0], for the euphoria).

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide#Recreational_use

After a bit I told him, "I bet you're exhausted."

"YEAH!"

"Recovery" is good for getting people to feel like failures, so I thought it'd be helpful for putting a different 'frame' on his last 15 years. I told him that he doesn't actually have a substance abuse problem, he's just been exhausted this whole time, and didn't know what to do to help improve his energy levels. I gave a few suggestions for keeping his energy levels up.

Saw him three or four more times over the next 2-3 months, and he was doing much better. I saw him last 2 days before he returned to where he came from. I think he's got a chance this time.
There are plenty of junior (skillwise) developers who are "Senior Software Engineer" in title. That's not what the author is talking about.
> “Both sides are upset about ideas and content they don’t like,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “That’s what running a platform for all ideas looks like.”

It does, almost by definition.

> Are you bothered by fake news, systematic misinformation campaigns and Facebook “dark posts” — micro-targeted ads not visible to the public — aimed at African-Americans to discourage them from voting? You must be one of those people “upset about ideas” you disagree with.

Users can control which ads they see.

> Are you troubled when agents of a foreign power pose online as American Muslims and post incendiary content that right-wing commentators can cite as evidence that all American Muslims are sympathizers of terrorist groups like the Islamic State? Sounds like you can’t handle a healthy debate.

I can debate that.

> Does it bother you that Russian actors bought advertisements aimed at swing states to sow political discord during the 2016 presidential campaign, and that it took eight months after the election to uncover any of this? Well, the marketplace of ideas isn’t for everyone.

I do remember pro-Clinton anti-Trump opinions from leaders in dozens of countries. The influence of the Russian boogeyman is vastly overstated.
