It is not.

Go alone is easier than Rust. But since Rust has no GC, it is easier to embed, especially with a language with a Garbage collector like Python.
A gray-box fuzzer such as american fuzzy lop (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_fuzzy_lop_(fuzzer) ) can generate quite good test cases. If your regex engine can compile to native code, it can generate tests that test every single branch of the regex.

I don't know if it's the family that is the problem but the lack of community and the fact that most couples now both work while the bulk of the child raising falls to the mother.

It's hard to do but many of my friends have only one parent working and have a strong community of other parents around them. It's very odd in today's world but they've chosen to do it and it seems to be working well for them.
I'm not sure what that statement was based on. The stack project certainly still uses haddock to document its code.

At least some of the projects he cites also use readthedocs for user guides etc.

Try

Seems like a cliche, but it's just a universal truth. Kids love playing with boxes. We've definitely had boxes that have got a lot more mileage than some toys in our house.
Again, since I didn't talk about those issues, you cannot conclude what I do or do not know.
You know how the customers who pay the least are the most work? Well this idea creates customers who literally pay a negative amount. My sense from the erstwhile GymPact -- https://blog.beeminder.com/gympact/ -- is that those "customers" tended to be a nightmare.

Hence Beeminder rationalizing just keeping all the money! :)

People should be allowed to make risky investments if they want, especially if they keep that risk to a small percentage of their portfolio. Besides, the lotto and casinos exist and are still allowed in most places, which is basically what you're leaving these people to do (and what I've seen many younger people waste their money instead).

Isn't it this very website where people over and over again say that the best time to take a risk is when you're young, anyway, and don't have any responsibilities?

There's a difference between risky investments and outright scams, though, and I'm fine if the government steps in and stops the scams, although I worry that they'll start seeing every single ICO as a scam and want to stop all of them (to be fair, it almost seems like they all are right now to me as well).

That's one of the nice things about the rise of cryptocurrencies, actually, is it's allowed younger people to make bets that have wildly paid off for them, that would otherwise not been available to them. It was risky as hell for sure, but for those people that only put in what they could afford to lose, it's outperformed every other investment by many many times this past year.
Any word on damages?
I did the same but only asked for 2 days remote every week. I have an almost 2 hour commute door to door so they were understanding. My last job that I was full remote was because we were acquired and the company didn't want to pay for the office when there was an office about 30 minutes from that office.
You will have to wait till its passed to see whats in it. I wish I could use a sarcasm flag on that statement, but given that the House and Senate versions have differences, we will likely not know the full impact till shortly after it leaves conference and is voted on.
Serverless is a bad idea, it was designed to serve big infrastructure providers as a way to increase their lock-in factor but the benefits to software developers is negative.

Serverless is simple but opaque; it's great for making demo apps but not ideal for real production systems. It narrows down integration possibilities, complicates large-scale development and deployment, and often, it makes it more difficult to keep track of backend errors... In addition to this, it makes you fully dependent on a single infrastructure provider; it takes away all your leverage when negotiating hosting costs.

The control panels of some of these services have become so complex and elaborate that you'll be wishing that you could just SSH into the server directly.

Man I loved the approach to narrow down the offending object file using the regex on the SHA hash of the binaries. That would've saved me lots of time hunting and guessing bugs with cscope+kdb back in my kernel hacker days!
I was surprised by that too. It's really unclear whether companies can just say "$50k - $500k" though.

If that’s bizarre consider the fact that Microsoft does credit check on employees every two years, as a condition of employment, and you can be fired if something really bad shows up. This is for employees that work in the Azure division and the purpose is to reassure customers who host their data on Azure.

You assume women don't want to be here. I see it otherwise. Women want to be here, but the climate is not very welcoming of them.

So I'm asking why should HN actively change itself to be more engaging to women? And how?

HN isn't required to do anything at all. It looks to me like both YC and the moderating staff of HN would like to foster diversity. That is their choice. I try to respect that fact.

I have worked hard at trying to fit in because I want to be here. I know a lot about social phenomenon. If one woman can figure it out, this will tend to open doors for others. That is simple reality and has nothing to do with me trying to change HN. In fact, to the degree that new women so often take it for granted that they are welcome here, have no idea how hard I have worked to fit in and how that makes it easier for them and then quite often are personally ugly to me, I often regret any role I have played in opening doors for other women here. It seems to be of zero benefit to me and to very often bite me in the butt.

Your hostility in this most recent comment seems to be much more blatant and not a matter of misunderstanding. So, if you will excuse me, I don't plan to engage you further.
I got more out of the hacker news comments than the article. The article did however drive my motivation but left me thirsty for tactics.

Thanks News.YC.com
That was my point that it should have been paid as taxes in the past. Instead of robbing the host country and keeping it hostage.
It's not really easier, though. It makes it really hard to scan visually for key words because only the title/company/location is visible, until you click the box to reveal the post detail. In the 'native' HN view, I can scan the whole post quickly and decide if I want to move on or investigate further.
I grew up in Mexico, where extended family is usually part of one's daily life. Upon moving to the States, I first experienced freedom. Extended family provides joy, companionship, and support, but it also can create worry, anxiety, and the feeling that you must support them emotionally and there's a need, financially too. Not unlike having a big group of friends.

After coming to the US I understood that being alone, freeing yourself from the extended family brings focus to your work. No longer do you have to worry about this big group of people; you can start thinking about just yourself, your work, and your schedule. A nuclear family could be a worry too, but it is something that's perhaps more predictable, as the group is more homogeneous and close to you.

After a few years, I started noticing the loneliness. First as overwhelming silence, which at first I enjoyed because I'm an introvert. Then it became obvious to me that most people have simple life problems that could be so easily solved with a big support network. Can someone care for my kids today? Or my pets for a few days? In an extended family situation, you can find someone that would gladly do that for you. They want to see your kids, they know your pets. Are you feeling really sick? Someone from your family will drop by and make sure you have something to eat. These things create a feeling that "someone out there cares for you" that is unmatched even by friends. You wouldn't want to burden your friends. And perhaps your friends will offer to help, but it's nothing like the unconditional support offered by the extended family. Your friends will usually be of your same age, and thus facing the same challenges in life. Your extended family will include retirees, homemakers, and other people with free time that are always willing to trade time for companionship. And once you reach old age, you will do the same for your younger relatives.
>you do nothing for the conversation, you only prolong the back and forth

This is an important contribution - the back and forth has to be prolonged, it has to be argued endlessly, to change the status quo. Not everyone has to become a leader. Awareness is also good enough for many.

>We are in control of our own destinies

Yes we are, but the ease of control could be much better for many people than what it is today.
>And just like a regular HDD, you can forcibly delete the data

Except apparently not, because the linked article is literally saying it's not supported.

I get wanting an audit trail, and I get wanting to not delete data if you don't have to for performance reasons, but neither of those things is the same as saying "it's literally not possible to delete stuff".
Massive props to everybody involved with AOO who has helped get the project back on track over the past few months. I just wish I had more time to be involved myself.

> Under this law, employers will no longer be allowed to ask applicants about their criminal conviction histories until after a conditional offer of employment has been made.

So they are making employer waste the time interviewing someone that they will not hire because he or she has a conviction.
I wonder if it's because it's safer in that it doesn't change anything there if you've gone over the stack limit and into the heap? I know that -fstack-protect was designed a long time ago, possible before guard pages and before 64bit addressing.
> The scary part, which is vast dystopian databases of facial fingerprints is already being done with normal photographs. The depth data is not needed

Exactly what I've said from day one - that Apple's "FaceID is 50x more secure than Touch ID" claim, based on the False Acceptance Rate, was total bullshit. That only works if you're going to throw random data at the authentication mechanism.

But someone who's going to target you isn't going to do that. It's going to you a 3D profile of your face from your online photos or from CCTV cameras (to which not only the government has access, but hackers, too).

In practice, it's much more difficult to gain a clone of someone's fingerprint than it is to gain a clone of their 3D face.
Google Cloud Datastore?
As for the point about how nobody is working on replacements, that's wrong. There's (partial) replacements for most coreutils written in rust, and a whole kernel has been under active development for years now.

I acknowledge the strong pull to go and re-implement existing standards like POSIX in a new language like Rust.

But, having had to again deal with all the corner cases of signal handling and threads for a Linux application, I encourage any prospective Rust OS developers to pick a different path.

Please, please, let's move beyond POSIX. Give me a sane set of operating system API calls that work in a reasonable way together. And that can compose easily.

So that future developers don't have to deal with file read calls that may (or may not) be interrupted by a signal, and all that.
So let me get this straight: you can unlock your iPhone with your face and Apple is giving away a free high-quality 3D scan of your face to anyone who wants it, who may or may not also own a 3D printer?
Well, isn't it quite simple? The original watch was made and sold by the company which constructed and designed it. At a minimum, buying a fake is equivalent to buying software on the black market, afterall, the bits are the same...

But of course, the fakes usually are cheaper, because they are not as well made as the originals. That is ofte not visible by an outside inspection, but might contain different qualities of metal used, different production processes, less care of assembly. Have you seen how much know-how goes just into making the main spring of a Rolex? They invested a lot of R&D into it. Of course you can just use a standard spring. But it won't be the same quality.

If you don't appreciate that extra bit of quality in a Rolex (or any other comparable brand), then there are excellent original mechanical watches at basically any price point, starting at $ 100 up.

Finally, I don't think it is legal to sell or resell fake watches in many places, in some countries even owning them can be a felony. If you don't disclose that the watch is fake, it is clear fraud, and even if you do, it is still a misuse of copyrighted and trademarked material.

Good point. I didn't read that when I posted my comment.
At-large representation ends up with majoritarian exclusivity, which is why it isn't used by anyone who values minority civil rights. As an example, the city of Austin recently went from an at-large city council to one elected by districts.

District representation has its down sides, gerrymandering being one of them, but the alternative is 'tyranny of the majority' or, at best, "gentlemen's agreements" that leave certain seats available for minorities.
People can already make a risky investment, by just buying public stock on the public markets.

I wonder how low in the price range you have to get before you have visibly uneven chapter ring marks. I think I can print a perfect one on paper on the laser printer here at work. Although the ring on my sarb is not perfectly aligned.

> rewrite a large part of hg in Rust

That's not really the right story. The motivating factor is that we'd like to write /less C/, not /less Python/. It's likely in the long-term that parts of the code that are performance sensitive will move out of Python, but we've been doing that for years, and we just keep finding new things to optimize as the scale of Mercurial repositories keeps increasing.
You don't need a lot of lawyers, but yeah I do see your point. Usually, if the nature of your crime is big enough to warrant the a federal/state prosecutors attention, you would most likely have the resources. If you're a 5 person company that accidentally committed a crime but they want to make an example out of you... yeah that can be tough.
Almost upvoted this, but then it seemed to be an App not a website. I'm probably a minority in this preference.
Then every customer would have a financial incentive to always lie and say they completed their goals.

It's already iffy with the 'lose money if you don't meet them' approach, but if you could actually get a piece of all the users moneys, yeah, you might as well say you're a winner (or only create goals where you can easily win) and game the system.
You pay per second of usage and the ACU starts and shuts down automatically. If your DB is only actually accessed a occasionally then you are not paying for 24hrs of usage. I think the auto-scaling is the draw though, not necessarily the price. So you are only getting charged the the database is being accessed. I think the examples on the pricing page make it a little more clear.
The NYT has always banged the drum for war. They backed the candidate gagging to get stuck in in Syria remember. Trump getting in instead set them back but only by a year or two, they'll get their war eventually.
You'd probably have a weight of some sort so if the program wants to modify N files, it gets 0.23N 'suspicious-points'. To get how many files the code wants to modify, you have standard symbolic execution without actually performing the syscalls/WINAPI. Same with checking if the deletion is in the main code path vs behind some event trigger. There's no silver bullets but you can certainly factor 'normal' behavior into your analysis.
Libtask: A Coroutine Library for C and Unix
Supposedly it turns off when you're not using it, so you'd need a small, consistent load all year to reach that price. And if that's the case, you'd just use a low-end RDS instance.

I think the value is in that you can build something quickly with no static instance cost that scales. You can (presumably) switch to normal instance-based RDS when your usage favors its pricing.
Serverless is (way?) over-hyped, but has valid use cases I think.

As an example, for a tiny side-project, I don't care about the markup or lock-in, I just want my code to run an unknown, small number of times per day for a cost-effective total price and a low cognitive and support overhead on me.
Except it's not, because it makes a black box the arbiter of legal obligations, and judges get the role of signing off on whatever the black box says.
Did something similar to this at a previous employer. We had a problem with a particular weekly meeting starting on time, so we all agreed on a $1 late fee, per minute. At year's end, the collected fees were gifted to one of the firm's wealthy executives whom we all disliked. The meeting's on-time rate skyrocketed.
I'm more concerned about small blogs like my own[0] who will never pay an ISP to be in the fast lane.

My blog doesn't get huge amounts of traffic now but I could imagine that it could get blocked by ISPs unless you have the Wild Wild West package that lets you visit any website, not just the big names.

We can't treat websites like cable channels because cable channels are separate streams. But websites are all linked.

As is usually the case, you might as well leave that off. Most of the world has moved into cities.
Have you considered that F# CUDA and the delivery situation are not causally related? Maybe a good optimization system is programmed with bad constraints.
This works for engineers too.
I think there's something called 'anchoring' in negotiation where the first number dropped is usually what people dance around afterwards. Waiting for the offer and then negotiating is letting the hiring manager do the anchoring. Where as I think what the root comment is saying is for you to set the anchor first.

This means that negotiation actually begins much earlier than when the offer happens. In that case then everyone is considered negotiating.

Wouldn't it also incentivize talent-less frauds to work on big-sounding projects?

Given the huge problems with current ICOs (Outright scams, or simply terrible investments), it seems that being smart or talented are not the qualities ICO 'investors' are looking for. I think the zeitgeist is that they just want quick pump & dumps.
It's the sole reason they're suddenly changing their stance. Legally it'll destroy their business the more they actively censor. They'll get buried rapidly under that vast responsibility.
Isn't this a bit like saying that Apple is sharing your photograph with apps [that use the camera]?
I have a feeling that the average lay user might actually find the camera demand more invasive than 3D measurements. In one they'd feel that the application is getting their picture while in the other just some face contour blah blah.
