In my experience about a 10-15 years ago when I worked in a super-market there was no "back room" really - it was just a staging-post for getting stuff off the truck, putting it onto trolleys, then taking it out onto the shop floor to put on the shelves as quickly as possible.

I dunno if people expect there to be this huge warehouse of stock "out the back" of every supermarket with loads of shelves holding tins of beans or loaves of bread or whatever just sitting there. The shop floor was the "back room"!

I used to just tell folks that what they see is everything we had, so if they cant see it then we dont have it.

Even with fancy modelling and "just-in-time" delivery stock-outs still happen - I remember one year working on the last weekend before Christmas. We "sold out" of turkeys - in reality it was just that people had them in their trolleys and hadn't checked-out yet so people were stealing them out of other customer's trolleys when they weren't looking! Happy Xmas! :-)
Prof. Richard Wolff proposed solution to this is worker-owned cooperatives. You'll see a lot of his work on this on his books and in interviews and talks.

The Mondragon umbrella of cooperatives in Spain, a multi-billion dollar corporation had to cut down employees during the recession. But instead of simply firing people, they were given options including offers to re-skill and compensation (like commute). The whole corporation paid for this. Even in this ultra hostile capitalist world, we've now a case where a large scale cooperative can survive the cycle of capitalistism's overproduction and over-exploitation.

Ofc this is all work in progress, and nobody knows what problems it will face. But certainly we need to do something about the current Capitalism.
Wonder if this got to the top of the front page because it looks like "Code Rust".

It has nothing to do with Rust, of course.
found outdated editions, but no way to know details of changes in the latest version

In the particular case of 18004, the changes are probably not significant enough from the 2006 version to matter for your project.

F-in A! Do pick the books, they're even better!
"Liberals" does not mean "left-leaning" in most of the commonwealth or even the world outside the US, "social-liberal" does but "liberal" on its own is generally center-right and sometimes "conservative-right", the latter being the case for the Liberal Party of Australia (which always existed in opposition to Labour).
I don't know what kind of flexibility HN'ers have, but the overwhelming majority of people can't just decide to leave whenever they please.

And it's utterly missing the point, keeping track of time is an inherently social issue. If I didn't care about other people (and again, had no time-related obligations to work or study), I'd most likely just use UTC everywhere and wake up whenever I wanted. I want more light in the evenings exactly because that's when I'm outside, and if I went to bed at 8pm, my social life would suffer.

Making solar noon 12 o' clock would be giving the all light to Spooky23 (and wasting most of it), as practically everyone wakes up at most 6 hours before noon, but are awake for 10 hours after. Noon isn't the middle of normal waking day. Making solar noon 2 hours late is exactly the compromise!
You can also install your own separate nodejs version in each environment. Or your own separate ruby version.
Do you post this kind of comment for any hyperbolic statement, or only this one in particular? Because you can do it all day long. I'm pretty sure you understood perfectly well what my point is.
There is nothing anywhere suggesting that RT did or could change the outcome of the elections because it has always been far beyond their reach.

Clinton's campaign outspent Trump's so badly that a few million this or that way did not matter. It may have been illegal or unethical for US outlets to take the money but it did not make a lick of difference in the outcome.
Are those web applications? If they're using Phoenix, they are also using OTP under the hood, but they don't have to use it directly.

After a point they just fix them to make them pass. Integration tests are really easy to cheat when the people writing them and using them are both really demotivated.
Probably not; we won't be able to scramble a mission fast enough.

That said, this was literally my first thought when I saw the headline on HN - that I can't wait until we have a space presence good enough that, the next time this happens, we'll be able to quickly send a probe to such an object.
yes, you just need to find a channel that has that version published, trust the person maintaining that channel, and do something like `conda install --channel amfarrell nodejs=6.6.0`
This looks very interesting. Currently we are storing our dense simulation (and experimental) data in NetCDF/HDF5. Given correct chunking, this seems to be pretty efficient both performance and compression wise. What would we gain using TileDB? How does performance compare with HDF5?
How many similar pitches did Twitter make to the BBC, Al Jazeera, and a bunch of other foreign media organisations?

Where are the cries of UK and Qatari collusion and interference?

And how is Putin responsible for Twitter pitching this to RT?

And how does this have anything to do with Trump?

You have to jump through some pretty impressive mental hoops to view this as sign of Trump-Russia collusion.
I saw an enjoyable talk recently about snapshot testing. I don't know too much about testing generally but it seems like it could be relevant: https://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/en/snapshot-testing.htm... is the general idea but it doesn't have to be confined to jest/react

Vagrant's documentation leaves something to be desired. It's perfectly possible to control many VMs from one Vagrantfile, but good luck figuring out how from the docs.

I mean with a bit of ruby knowhow and some digging you can figure most stuff out, but Vagrant's documentation still lags behind Hashicorp's other stuff which is usually very well documented.
it's interesting that the article never mentions clojure.spec nor fully-qualified keywords in clojure maps.

imo without those the argument (to anyone outside Clojure world) appears to be "lets just use open maps for everything", which is not really conveying the larger point - that one can have reasonable structure and description/enforcement of that structure using predicate language, which to some extent can be applied during compile time and enables static analysis tools. it's a compromise between rigidity of haskelly type system and the wild-west of tossing open maps around.
Especially Google Maps, I'm waiting for a competitor to blow it out of the water. Satellite images are relatively cheap, you could have a map that shows a daily updated image of every street, and show timelapses. But their streetview would be very tough to displace.
Looks like a duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15566939 where the submitter added a lot more background and link to his/her startup in that area.
No, it shows Twitter partnering with a media organisation. I'm willing to bet Twitter offered similar deals to many other media outlets, both US and abroad.

Twitter does nothing to promote biased reporting in this, merely that RT should use their platform for political reporting.
It's moving far too fast in the worst possible direction, and it's already far too far away.

If we'd known it was coming, we could in principle have gotten something out to its point of closest Earth approach, but the object's velocity means even that would've been a flyby with no possibility of rendezvous outside possibly an impactor.

As the matter stands today, anything we'd send after it would have to overcome a velocity disadvantage of something like 40 kilometers per second - in other words, traversing the diameter of our planet three or four times every second - on a vector pointed near as nevermind to straight away from us. That's not something our propulsion technology is so far even close to being able to do.
No offence, but you work in a bubble of sorts. In enterprise we are absolutely expected to run against a wall - preferably fast.
Use the contact link (hn@ycombinator.com) on the bottom of the page to contact the HN administrators.
It's doing ~40km/s almost directly away from us. We could launch yesterday and still never catch up. Best we could have done would be a flyby as it passed beneath the ecliptic - not nothing, to be sure, but not nearly close enough for sample return, either.
Is anyone using conda to manage environments with versions of other languages/runtimes? For a while, I was using it to maintain different nodejs and ruby runtimes and package-sets, but stopped around node 6.6.0, mostly because I never got efficient enough at creating packages to create conda packages for different ruby or packages other than the interpreters themselves.

If anyone feels like it, you can run `conda create name=trycondanode --channel amfarrell nodejs=6.6.0`
And most of my work mates have public open source code.

I would guess the environment candidates are selected from influences these numbers significantly.

And you're right, I'd understand that in some of these environments, OSS isn't necessarily considered fun or relevant.

Then again it's all speculation.
Regarding the point about his good fortune of being born in 1835, I wonder what the date is for new tech billionaire CEOs. The article made me wonder if we are in our own little gilded age now.

It's not that simple and it's not a fact. I'm an advanced user of functional languages as well and have written an entire scheme implementation before. I only semi-agree. That's slightly disingenuous representation of functional languages which have more than a few pitfalls. They certainly aren't the silver bullet and they really do not scale to the same height and complexity of the problem domain as the OO languages do due to the nature of the abstraction you describe. Nothing is particularly explicit. I'd rather take the compromises of OO over the maintenance problems of a functional language.

String formats are data so they would be stored as constants so that they are interned. They can be stored in a const class which is a static class with no methods i.e.:

sealed class StringFormats {
public const DateFormatX = @"...";
}

Also string formats for example tend to be owned by the respective objects so you can add overloads to the object to provide certain arbitrary representations. If the translation between an object and the string representation is complex, then you're really serializing it so that should be an abstracted concern.

I agree hence the reason I put 'colluding' in quotes.

This is grasping at straws.
It's all "damned if you do" or don't regardless.

It's no secret that our political systems have problems, with this sort of thing. Factionalism, corporate interests and other monority special interest, continuity.

Sometimes policies have a chance of being coherent, usually through a small group of "authors" that have a clear idea of what they want to do. This is generally when a governing party gives free reign to some internal group.

The other option is bipartisan commitees & a "wide consulatation approach". This is how the vast majority of australian laws get made. There's an alarm-like flashing oof lights (red or green) in parliament when an attempt is made to do things otherwise (a split).

Anyways, the standard process means compromise. Specifically, comromise between all "relevant" participants. The two big parties, obviously. Several interested factions within those parties, and various corporate interests usually represented by specific industry chambers of commerce or similar. Everyone needs to get something.

Coherence and compromise just don't go together, not when it comes to policy/legislation.

Look at the americans. They've been fiddling with health policy for a decade. As far as I can tell, the more attention the issue gets, the worse it gets.

Anyway, apart from being "pro-internet" labour never really had a solid agenda. The parliamentary end of this sausage factory was basically "the internet is important!!" vs "why spend 100bn on streaming cat vids!?). The hyenas and crows did the rest.
The bubble happens to be at the bottom of everything everyone runs. If we--or kernel folks for that matter--applied the advice of the article to our development practices, our system meltdown would be your system meltdown.

Sure, you have requirements from management. So do architects and engineers for building bridges. Yet they still have a duty to build bridges that don't fall down.

Thank you for "vagrant global-status". There's still a lot of boxes I don't even remember.
The series is mostly true to the physics (they speed up travel times a lot, but that's kinda required for a TV adaptation), with the notable exception of a certain manoeuvre in the 11th episode of the second season (which the writers have conceded to be preposterous).

Space ship design is the other thing that regularly annoys me, it's all metal and not at all foam-padded on the inside. They're designed to look cool and futuristic, not utilitarian. They're also much too spacious, which makes it easier to get nice shots, of course, but is also a little ridiculous.

That said, it's amazingly fun and I've watched it twice and read all of the books. I think we can all agree that if the two points above are what's wrong with the series, it's pretty damn good. Highly recommended!
Yet another web site that thinks I am using an ad blocker.
I think the error is the 'per month' part. $80 per year matches pretty well with a daily wage of $1.50, and a monthly housing cost of $6. It would work out to over 20% of their annual budget being allocated to food, which while higher than today, historically seems to match.

If you work with other developers and store your Vagrantfile in source control, then you can allow per-developer settings using the method shown here: https://www.glenscott.co.uk/blog/allow-per-developer-vagrant...
The author of the post agrees with you that library code is different:

> I should mention that almost all of my open source projects have 100% code coverage. This is because most of my open source projects are smaller libraries and tools that are reusable in many different situations (a breakage could lead to a serious problem in a lot of consuming projects) and they’re relatively easy to get 100% code coverage on anyway.
Is this pricing accurate: https://ufb.org.nz/pricing-plans? I'm seeing prices like $150/month for symmetric 200/200: https://www.trustpower.co.nz/-/media/files/terms/legal-offer.... That's pretty expensive (about what I'm paying for symmetric gigabit with TV and phone in the U.S.).

It's interesting to note that the compromises made with UFB would not fly in the U.S. Liberals would kill it as a handout to rich people ("if you can't afford to feed your family by the end of the month, you can't afford $75 a month for the broadband service")[1] and conservatives would kill it because it's not available more than 50 km from an urban area.

Nvidia could be documenting their product so they wouldn't have to throw more people and money at Linux support.
Nowhere did Rutkowska claim that hypervisors are perfect, as she says[1]:

Hypervisors do not add security by themselves. But they make it possible to implement security by isolation cheaply.

Cheaply means: 1) preserving backward compatibility with apps & drivers, 2) with drastically reduced attack surface due to smaller APIs. (Note that the HVM hypercall API isn't very big. Mostly physical memory ops, vCPU ops, physdev stuff, evchans and sched-related stuff.[2])

I wished I'd known that Vagrant + Windows is always full of surprises. So many problems with Windows developers because Vagrant will not work as expected there :(

Anybody know any best practices what to do with Windows developers? I'm thinking of going to docker... but I'm not sure if this really helps.
Nvidia Optimus was (and perhaps still is, i never updated on that) the only issue i had with Nvidia and Linux the last 15 years that i have Nvidia GPUs. I've used Nvidia on all my machines and always boughts Nvidia GPUs because of their excellent OpenGL support and drivers.

So you probably was just unlucky and ended up in the only fully unsupported case that has happened with Nvidia and Linux in the last decade (at least as far as consumer GPUs are concerned anyway). I did the same and i was annoyed by Nvidia, but after searching a bit i learned that they did try to support Optimus on Linux initially, but some developer refused to allow them use some symbols (or something, i'm not 100% into kernel development) in his code under a license that was compatible with their driver. So they dropped it.

I think they did something with Bumblebee some time later, but last time i used Bumblebee was incredible slow compared to Windows (whereas in my other machines Linux and Windows have the same performance in OpenGL) so i never tried that myself. That laptop remained a Windows-only machine.

But yeah, beyond that for me Nvidia was always pretty much the only choice exactly because of their Linux support. Although i might consider AMD at some point if Mesa implements GL_ARB_compatibility and compatibility profilers properly (i used to think this wont happen, but AFAIK there was recently some work towards the former, so who knows).
I wish show-Avasarala was as abrasive and foul-mouthed as book-Avasarala. That would make it even more fun, but would probably make the show harder to show on TV ;)
> A government with the nerve to crash the market through sane taxation would be able to reap a sufficient dividend to compensate those genuinely disadvantaged through negative equity,

Ha!

The government is already collecting taxes because of home sales, it doesn't need to restrict it to solve it with its magical redistribution powers.
hermansdenkmal is a lot less catchy, than Herman the German, but many people have see in picture or film.

However I would guess, that your colleagues just forgot about the 'Schlacht im Teuteborger Wald', because it definitely visit part of the history curriculum.

In modern days the French Revolution as a well as Bismarcks doing have the focus for the 'identity' of Germany.
Running against the wall in the enterprise is what management expect but in my experience it’s down to developers “holding their nerve” to use the proper process (unit tests, PRs etc).

It’s not even necessarily experience because I see the experienced devs do this all the time. But your good developer will know that when the feature is so important that it needs “rushing”, aka straight to prod or, skip QA etc then that’s exactly the time to stand firm and write those unit tests instead of throwing crap over the wall and making it next weeks defect.
The thing is, everything that survives becomes a library, as someone will always find a way to try to reuse it.
The Exponential Boom, Bust and Rebirth of the ICO Economy
The blockchain build up is eerily reminiscent of the Dotcom era — inexperienced founders with only an idea raising absurd amounts of money to build a product and take it to market.

We all remember how that turned out. Things went up, things blew up, and later things went up again. This time is no different.

Except that it is…

Today ICOs are accelerating at unmaintainable pace, funded by cryptowhales with billions in Bitcoin and nowhere else to diversify. And the pace is accelerating while the stakes get bigger and bigger.

Tezos, the largest ICO to date has had their fair share of problems. And the truth is non-profits are not designed to be businesses and the majority of the ICO market is preying on dumb money.

That is not to say all founders launching ICOs only want a free lunch, but that is basically what it boils down to.

Blockchain is a fundamentally disruptive technology, but not all businesses and use cases make sense to tokenize. Ideas with little to no merit and little more than a white paper and “well thought” plan are raising 10s and sometimes 100s of millions of dollars. This is dangerous.

What happens when investors realize there is little to no value in these tokens? You cannot create hundreds of categories of “valuable” assets in such a short span of time without having some intrinsic value and not expect problems.

And the conversations I have with founders are almost always “how can our company do an ICO?” rather than, “does our company have inherent, tokenizable value?”

Because until further notice, crypto currencies CANNOT legally be equity/securities. Even though they should be and are the likely evolution of the outdated stock, this is not the case today.
