I agree. It's a systems effect. I see this phenomenon manifest in other areas of life too.

Whenever you have a good system with average actors vs a bad system with some outstanding actors, the former usually wins in the long run. Good systems scale better and are more sustainable.

In the traffic case, the average skill of the drivers in Brazil is arguably higher than in America (they can maneuver into spots that Americans won't even try to, and drive at much shorter braking distances without getting into accidents), but the traffic fatality rate there is also a lot higher.

I've also noticed this in the corporate world. Big companies with good management but average employees tend to stick around for a long time (I won't name names, but a lot of people who work at big companies are decidedly mediocre).

Companies with bad management but better-than-average employees tend to get into a lot of trouble. (cf. Uber)

You want to have good systems and good actors, but when it is only possible to choose one, choosing the good system usually works well.
Might have to do with what public health care covers?

In Germany, they used to cover glasses till 2003, tho you still had to pay for the frame yourself. They also covered contacts but only in special cases, so getting those on prescription was quite a bit more of a hassle.

2003 has been a while ago, but I have no doubt that plenty of people still have their prescription glasses from back then around, I do.

It's got either something to do with that or there's some societal difference which allows American people more easily to touch their eyes because that's usually one of the main reason people don't wear contacts, at least from my anecdotal experience.

Ask HN: Your thoughts on returning to college to “refresh” a career?
I'm curious as to how much it helps, in particular for a software engineer. A bit about me. I'm 35, male, unemployed and unmarried (so I don't have much financial backing) and don't live in a tech hub. I went to a fairly standard state school for a non-STEM degree to get into web development.

Now I know web development can have the potential to provide a stable, well-paying career. I have not seen this much in my experience. I've only been contracted by very small companies for putting out fires, or for projects that they don't want their "core" employees to work on. These places underpay a lot to contractors, and do not make any permanent job offers to me. My professional network is also weak. Nobody I know is looking to hire software developers. I think my reputation works against applying to large companies.

As for my goals, it is to work in high-performance computing, in particular with aerospace. My example: adaptive resolution grids for fluid simulations. My reality: CRUD apps and CMS websites for small-med business clients.

Obviously good experience and talent can overcome that, but that's a lot easier said than done. I did not receive a lot of good experience, and see myself as a mediocre developer. So what are your thoughts about returning to college and doing it "the proper way"?

The plan is getting a CS degree at a better school, get one or more internships from reputable tech companies, build connections with people from those companies, and receive full-time job offers. There are a few stated theories made about the hiring pipelines of many of these companies, giving new grads an ironic strength.
I would actually appreciate that. I recently dealt with a DDF file that was 780 columns of tabular data.

One way to make it "big enough" is to put a weight on the end of a long cable, and spin the combination. It wouldn't need to be a full g either, some should be a lot better than nothing.

With a cable, though, there might be weird problems with oscillations.
They were meeting their goals a decade ago with one part-time tech and a budget only 3% of what it is today. How has exponential growth in revenue and spending improved or sped up goal-meeting? It's kept a lot of wikipedians employed building features no one wants (or outright rejects), but it hasn't furthered the goal of collecting the world's knowledge, which is still almost entirely driven by the entirely voluntary editorial staff using the same tools they had a decade ago.
The US is a mere 4.x% of the world's population. The fact that 22% of those people want to move to the US, is extraordinary.
I think the answer these days should be "hire a programmer". Never would I try and do a profession I did not understand, especially if it had something to do with profit/income. While WIX does have a nice community paying for their WYSIWYG, I would advise anyone to pay an experienced developer to create/maintain their site over doing it themselves.
I'm sorry to be something of a negative Nancy - and I'm sure I'm a corner case - but this is not really an alternative to find. It's an alternative for your editor's fuzzy find and a better version of shell globs.

The absense of -delete, -execdir, -mtime, and the ability to chain multiple patterns together for the non-trivial use-cases, means this is practically useless in most places where `find` is used in day-to-day work. Not to mention the "opinionated" choice to ignore a dynamic set of files and directories (what files were skipped? In any directory, or just git repos? Does it back track to find a git directory and .gitignore? Does it query out to git? Does it respect user/global .gitignore settings? Does it skip Windows hidden files from a unix prompt, or a dotted file when on Windows?), the options hidden behind two separate flags.

Perhaps it's just because I'm used to using 'find', but when I reach for it, it's because I need -delete or -execdir, or I'm writing automation that really needs -mtime and chained patterns.

So, I would suggest that you don't call this an alternative to find; it's not. A replacement for shell globs, sure. A replacement for poor file finding in text editors, OK. Just... not find.

I've felt like I'm so close to a powerful library that will be robust and advance my pursuits quickly. Hasn't worked out yet. I am getting better and better. Frameworks and libraries are getting better too, but to remove something like 90% of a CRUD app that isn't literally just a basic content CMS site - I don't see that happening soon.
It's actually over 22MB fully loaded from empty cache...
Yup. I was brought into this world almost sixty years ago and spent my youth moving around as the military commanded my father to do.

As such, I got to see the horrible way we treated the planet and can remember the differences in both results and behavior.

It was not even remotely uncommon to just throw your trash out the car window. I don't mean a cigarette butt, but whole waste from a fast food meal, diapers, and any other refuse was simply thrown out of the window.

The national parks were even full of trash. You'd go into the park and the drive in was littered with the refuse from years of campers and visitors. It wasn't hidden, but right there in the open.

The bit about don't mess with Texas was actually a campaign to clean up Texas and stop the littering. The highways were littered more than one might expect at the enterences of today's landfills.

The rivers were polluted beyond what some seem to imagine today - and this was not that long ago. For a while, it was even considered sound science that the solution to pollution is dilution. Technically, that's probably sound theory but there is a finite amount of dilution to be had.

We've come a long ways and there are still things to complain about. However, we can now eat the fish from the rivers and probably not die. Probably...

I think this is a good example of why we aren't close to a web ui of sorts to do away with 90% of coding. As good as Django is. Usually there's still a lot of coding required.
I've been down this path before. There is R:Base (incredibly hard to Google http://www.rbase.com), which is basically the same. Another one is Wavemaker, for the web.

The difference is that if you're a small shop, the licensing costs will kill you (although Magic was a $2000 product, which is around $3,700 adjusted for inflation. R:Base and Magic cost around the same.
I thought it was shady as hell when I got an explanation of benefits letter from my vision insurance (branded Aetna) with a return address of 4000 Luxottica Place.
"essentially always" != "dedicated"

Also, how is "but we couldn't deliver that product at that price" in any way a justification for then simply delivering a different product under the same advertisement? If you cannot actually provide 940 Mb/s for 90 $/month, that's fine ... but then don't advertise it as such.

There is nothing wrong with overselling--but it should be the responsibility of the ISP to hide it. From what you write, it seems like what they are actually selling you would fairly be advertised as a 500 Mb/s link. There is no need to actually have reserved bandwidth for each customer, but the moment the ISP saturates a link for more than a few minutes per month, it should be their responsibility to add capacity, or to reduce advertised bandwidths. I as a customer cannot just go "paying the full price this month is too expensive, I'll only pay half", so why should it be an excuse for the ISP to say "building infrastructure to provide advertised services is too expensive, we'll only deliver half"!?
You said you had a lot more examples to provide, you pretended that nobody wanted them. I do. So let's have all those examples.

I asked for a concise description, I didn't ask you to modify your comment. Surely the environmental protection roll-backs will cause pollution problems (even if it's not of the scale that existed 30+ years ago). If it's too much to ask that you explain how your examples will cause meaningful environmental damage, and you don't want to provide such an elaboration, I understand.

In a general case, the compiler acts as a sandbox. How much harm the malicious code can do depends on the specifics of how much IO it enables.

On the case of Dhall it's entirely safe, if you generalize it into a full OS equivalent system, you'd have to audit everything.
Reminds me of how the Grauniad's negative review of the movie Legend was spun: https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2015/sep/09/legend...
Standard economic theory would say that if there are egregious margins, new players would enter the market and competition would bring down the price. That appears to happen now and then and then Luxottica buys up the players, keeping the prices steady? Alternative explanation that keeps with the facts.
And platforms can be moving targets. New platforms are introduced and adopted, along with new ways to interact with them.

The platforms can also change and break applications in unpredictable ways. For example, iOS 11 won't run 32-bit applications.

Anyone who transfers money, by any manner including, but not limited to, electronic, financial, debt ledger, cash or traditional methods like hawala, hundi, fei ch'ien, and chit is considered to be a "Money Transmitter."

Money Transmission classification and registration varies by state, to receive money from, or transfer money to someone in said state (regardless of your jurisdiction) you must register with the state and usually put up an insurance bond.

Then you must also register with FinCEN and enact an appropriate AML policy that would include KYC.
We seem to be defining those words differently. From my position, it's impossible to create a pure wrapper for an interface widget.
You can't speak for everyone with that "nope". Many people can be indeed struck with the thought that these are over-engineered. Of course, your points are enough to convince most of us that the "over-engineered" thought is flat-out wrong, though. But we were still struck but this wrong thought initially.
A couple of people have asked for it, but the ROI isn't worth it. Think about all the various POSIX compatibilities, locale support, subtle differences in flag meanings, supporting the different flavors of regex (BREs, EREs) and of course, all the various differences in the regex engine itself, such as leftmost-first vs leftmost-longest matching, and subcapture match locations as well.

I feel like people significantly underestimate the difficulty of being 100% compatible with another tool. Not even GNU grep is strictly POSIX compatible, for example. To get POSIX compatibility, you need to set the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable.

And then what do I gain from this? Do you think distros are going to start throwing away GNU grep for ripgrep? No, I don't think so. So what then? A few people will have the pleasure of using ripgrep with grep's flags, even though they are already significantly similar? Not. Worth. It.

Now... If someone does think it's worth it, then they are more than welcome to start that journey. Most of ripgrep is factored out into libraries, so in theory there is a lot of reuse possible. But if you want to support compatibility all the way down into the regex engine, then you might be hosed.
Well, yes, good ISPs do just that, sure, I guess my point is that anything else should just outright be rejected as obviously unacceptable, and it should thus be the legal responsibility of all ISPs and thus breach of contract if customers do actually notice that the network is oversold.
Despite its shortcomings, I share the same vision as this article. Here are my reasons:

- Tensorflow has a way too large API surface area: parsing command lines arguments handling, unit test runners, logging, help formatting strings... most of those are not as good as available counterparts in python.

- The C++ and Go versions are radically different from the Python version. Limited code reuse, different APIs, not maintained or documented with the same attention.

- The technical debt in the source code is huge. For instance, There are 3 redundant implementations in the source code of a safe division (_safe_div), with slightly different interfaces (sometimes with default params, sometimes not). It's technical debt.

In every way, it reminds me of Angular.io project. A failed promise to be true multi-language, failing to use the expressiveness of python, with a super large API that tries to do things we didn't ask it to do and a lack of a general sounding architecture.
So many layers are now built on top of the OS that it seems the most obvious way it will continue to grow is by gradually subsiding abstraction layers above that are so common, you'd never not want them.

This has already happened with things like sound drivers, TCP/IP stacks, firewalling, etc. but will continue upward
This. And at some point enough of these alternatives might accumulate that a new distro will form using only the new tools. The issue is that most people don’t realize just how entrenched the existing tools are. They are a part of cross distro standards because often times they are used for scripting. Imagine a distro that decided to not ship ls in favor of exa. Ok it’s own this isn’t a problem at all. But combined with the overwhelming amount of FOSS you might want to install on top of your distro, you would suddenly need ls anyways.

You'd assume that a device as sensitive as a hardware security key would get extensive testing from the vendor, from 3rd parties contracted to the vendor, and from random unauthorized 3rd parties testing out of personal or public interest.

But in fact there are almost certainly commercial hardware security keys that receive no testing at all at the level AGL is working at --- which, while impressive and super interesting, isn't as low-level as serious third party specialized crypto validation goes.

My takeaway from this is: buy the most popular U2F key (which happens to be Yubico's). This isn't a place where you want to shop around for interesting alternative brands.

Nobody pays me to say this and I have no relationship with Yubico of any sort.
In Melbourne I never experienced sustained speeds of below 9Mbps on ADSL2+ in two locations, normally 11–12Mbps.

But if you want a fast, stable Internet connection, move out into a small country town with a 4G tower (doesn’t need to be NBN). There’s much less congestion. Look around for plans, as most are expensive; I use amaysim’s 50GB/$65/28 days which is about what ADSL2+ would be in the country. Living in Stawell (a few thousand people) I get 20–25/12Mbps with greater reliability than I ever got on ADSL2+. I shall be moving to Navarre soon (~100 people) and get 45/15Mbps there.

More specifically, Kaspersky studied at Institute of Cryptography, Telecommunications and Computer Science, which was administered by the KGB, and "offered the best mathematics courses available in the old USSR" [0].

It is disingenuous and misleading (like so much of the anti-Russia narrative) to state that he was "trained by the KGB", as though they taught him everything they know about spy-craft and espionage.

Once I reported a notorious scammer who was using their platform to their support team. I provided tons of information (including investigations from the press) and explicitly told them not to pass on my details. That was actually a precondition before I had revealed any information, and they ensured me that they will not pass on my details.

What do they do? They treat it as a DMCA request and give the scammer every single piece of information they had on me (which included my phone number). I woke up to a voicemail on my phone from the scammer saying he's "going to find you motherfuckers" and "kill all of y'all".

After asking why the hell they did that, they basically told me to piss off and denied doing anything wrong.
