A key point comes from the linked post entitled, "Why don't software methodologies work?" People are the greatest factor in a software project's success, not tools or methodology. Good tools and methodology are part of success, but they aren't sufficient for it.

Definitely read that post.
In Japan (mostly Tokyo), the concept of "share houses" are super popular. With the ever increasing workload on everyone, people have a hard time spending social time with others. These share houses, with large common living areas and kitchens, give people a little bit more social interaction than they'd otherwise get. I've lived in a few myself, and as long as its a quality house (medium price range and up), it's a great experience.
So my understanding is the hg developers are planning to rewrite a large part of hg in Rust. If so, this is an unfortunate blow to Python, because often I hear (and I do as well) Python developers cite hg as one of the largest Python-based application (regardless of the C-extension). I certainly feel sad if that is the case.

I studied hg quite in depth in undergraduate for a semester, when I was implementing "bitbucket" myself. To be really honest, the codebase was easy to navigate, and function names were pretty consistent with the actual hg commands/internal spec. While the code itself is probably hard to write any true unit tests (you'd have to monkeypatch like crazy) using mock -- which means the function has a lot of code, overall the codebase quality was pretty good for a complex software. I just had to know the variable name abbreviations, get used to them and referred back to the Hg paper.

In anyhow, whatever the decision is, I'd learn a bit Rust to help out :-)

P.S. I am still trying to find an answer to this: if FB uses Hg, then what about their git code?

The "deal" is that Ireland is holding the back taxes in escrow until the appeals are exhausted. And because it's such a large amount, Ireland had to hire managers/custodians for it. The terms are probably about what the money is going to be invested in.
IT is directly responsible for a lot of those things. In some places, it seems like IT departments try to make their own lives easier by ensuring the infrastructure is so ridiculously constrained that nobody wants to use it (no users = no things broken by users that need fixing!). Users instead will make due in creative ways, which make organizations vulnerable (and people unhappy).

Confused, did you click the link at all? It literally answers your question right there at the beginning:

> An offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. [...] We generally approve an offer in compromise when the amount offered represents the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time.

It's a corporate tax heaven. But incorporating is trivial.
I'm not sure how to answer without stating the obvious (e.g. poor health reports) so I'll just state some of the causes.

1). Years of stress due to debt and having to work extremely long hours to make up for the debt. This includes less than ideal work environments.
2). Spouse being forced to take up all other responsibilities because their partner is working so much. Even though the partner is working so much, there is limited money for extra help. Plus, the constant stress of a bad financial situation.
3). Having to move every few years. Kids changing schools every few years.
4). They were a minority (not white), and were lived in places that had very few people from the same ethnic group. That's not easy, especially in schools. Ever been bullied because your lunch is different from what everybody else is eating?

Prolonged stress takes a toll. This includes families who were happy with each other and lived "normal" lives until that stress began. Long term stress on a family will take a long time to resolve after things become good again.
"Administrate from your couche"

I very much appreciate Troys approach to criticism. It gives the other party a fair rebuke but also treats them as the fallible humans they are. People make mistakes, and I feel like out society should be a little more lenient sometimes, especially on issues which can be corrected, like this one.

Granted there are definitely times when a person really ought to have known better ahead of time.

In any case I wish we could see more leadership of this nature.

You know how some F2P games will allow you to watch video ads in order to e.g. earn extra in-game currency, activate a point multiplier, etc?

As it stands, you can start one of these ads and then turn your phone upside down, or look away. How long until an advertising provider makes use of the attention API and makes it so that you can't look away? Seems bleak.

You said, above "And after some more research I can confirm the Treasury actually did predict an immediate crash"

But your links seem to be the opinions of others and not the Treasury.

Where in your "more research" have you found that the Treasury predicted a stock market crash? Or do you still not have any evidence for your claim?
I think I'm fairly clean and direct in my emails, but that doesn't mean you can't pay attention to how your communication comes off. A friendly opening, ("Hey bob"), and closing ("Cheers, {initials}") should be sufficient to make you not sound like a monster. Maybe throw in a smily face once in a while to remind them you're human.

Next up: "Could modern work in downtown offices be the reason why we're all miserable?"

I'm only half joking.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that staring at a computer screen 40+ hours a week is not healthy at all. Couple that with the known psychological ill-effects of social media together with the hysterical, outrage-driven news-cycle, which we consume while staring into said screens, and the effect is downright toxic for mental and physical health and general happiness.

That reminds me of a quote from the book "The Billionaire Who Wasn't", about Chuck Feeney, co-founder of DFS, who secretly donated $8 Billion to various charitable causes until he was outed:

“Since my earliest days I have been frugal, but I am a frugal person in that I hate waste, at any level,” says Feeney, who always wears off-the-peg clothes, a cheap plastic watch, and reading glasses of the type sold in book-stores. “If I can get a watch for $15 that keeps perfect time, what am I doing messing around with a Rolex?”

Being part of a Nuclear family doesn't mean that you can't branch out and be more involved in a community. Raising kids is hard, and can be lonely but also gives you a strong bond and shared experience to talk to a HUGE part of the world and make introductions.

The community, layout of housing, etc are all extremely impactful on this. So too, is the ability of the community to organize. You can have a GREAT community in a cookie cutter suburb. This is especially true if you have communal gathering areas like a pool, park, etc.

I guess what I'm saying is that the Nuclear family is not the underlying reason for any of this. The ability to be alone if one wants to be alone for all things (think about how technology has basically enabled you to function without any human interaction if you choose, and people DO choose this), and the idea that you're being rude by taking the risk of saying hello is a larger cause.

EDIT/ corollary: Advice to new parents - try to find a place with other young families. They're all looking for this connection. These are some of the strongest networks that you will find especially if they live in close proximity.
"it’s the loneliness and isolation of the nuclear family in the modern world that is making us miserable."

No, it's hyperconnectivity ("'social' media) and completely unrealistic expectations about one another that is making us miserable.

I quit using Twitter on a day-to-day basis around Trump's election. Best thing I have done for my personal health in the last five years or so.
Those problems also outline a potential business model based on verified long-term reviews.

If a doctor's treatment record and long-term ROI follows them around, or if piano students can track their proficiency over time, the market can act on that information. Without it, we're all flying blind so of course we get suckered into bad exchanges.

It also reflects opportunities for stronger regulations... For example, financial advisor were required to act in the best interest of their customers (until Trump repealed Obama's executive order)
tl;dr: tl;dr.
It's based on this fraudulent premise that makes its rounds as an empty soundbyte (when back in reality, the US has the second highest effective corporate income tax rate in the OECD). The setup is that Delaware is being used as an information cloak (while there's zero evidence the US is actually being used as a real tax-evasion haven of any sort).

This story explains the foundation of the soundbyte:

Alternately, if it uses a regular expression or other form of pattern matching, it's very likely that the original coder made unit tests for the most common behaviors, but built in assumptions for edge cases. And I'm unaware of any code coverage tools that help someone test every single branch in a regex. So you're reliant on comments, documentation, etc. (thank goodness for Python's verbose regex mode, for example) to make those assumptions explicit. It's not an easy problem to solve.
Good luck getting that into a datacenter.
Seems like it depends on the content, and whether or not I was previously aware of it. Sometimes it's a news story I already heard about, so I'd feel comfortable upvoting w/o reading.

It also seems dependent on the site. On HN I'm more likely to read articles that are posted, but not as much on Reddit.
>Why is this 30% of gross income? I thought the target was 33% of net.

33% of net is a fantasy in California. That will just barely get you a run down studio in a bad part of town on an engineer's salary.
That depends on what you mean by slur. If you just mean "bad word" then we can certainly replace some, but I am not convinced saying "John is feeble-minded" rather than "John is an idiot" is really different, although saying "John has a learning disability" may be more correct (and does offer the chance that is can either be worked around or fixed).

The world "nigger" is essentially completely banned from society, so much so that people call it the n-word, but has that changed attitudes? Or is the person just going to say racist stuff with African-American instead of Nigger?
>You are asking the wrong person, but my guess is that you are exaggerating the efficacy of this retribution

Probably to some degree. Obviously you can't assure anywhere near 100% success rate but you don't need one. People go the speed limit in the left lane even though the cops don't ticket everyone who speeds.
"We generally approve an offer in compromise when the amount offered represents the most we can expect to collect within a reasonable period of time."

I think it makes sense for entertainers and comedians, although "talent" might not be the right word. Some people have a personality and voice that's very well suited for comedy, so they don't have to train themselves as much to play a character on stage. Your personality and thought patterns might be shaped more by upbringing than genetics, but I would still call that "natural talent", because it's not something you consciously work for.
I don't think its that simple. If I've learned anything, criminal prosecution for financial crimes is pretty hard unless the crimes are pretty clear cut with convincing evidence. Most of the time, its much better to settle out of court, or negotiate an agreement, avoiding all the unpleasantness of an investigation (a win-win for both).

I was entertaining the theory the other day that when families first emigrate they carry over customs from the farms or inner city neighbourhoods they came from, but following generations lose touch with those customs as the new built environment is no longer facilitates them.

I was on a Sunday evening bike ride in the summer, in an older but still suburban style neighbourhood with lots of immigrants. The kids were all out playing, the neighbours were hanging out on their front porches and mingling with other neighbours doing the same. I was like 'wow, this is like the idyllic 1950's vision of the suburbs except everyone is brown.' Then you get out to the newer outer ring suburbs where all the white people live and nobody is outside.

There are things like getting exercise and talking to your neighbours that are essential for a person's health and happiness, but when their circumstances make these things unessecary there is a tendency not to do them. We're suffering because of it.

The whole uptopian notion of the mechanized garden city that America embraced as the standard model for modernity was poorly thought out. Now it's like a paperclip maximizing AI: Mindless and unstoppable.

> It is not transphobic.

“trans-erasing” would be more strictly accurate of the statement (“transphobic” is often used for all anti-trans discrimination, but it's not really a great generic term.)

OTOH, your stated rationale: fear of trans people and the beliefs you associate with them, is precisely transphobic.

> I find the position of a lot of trans people to be deeply harmful to the rights of cishet women.

And that may or may not be a valid opinion, but that's irrelevant to the fact that claiming that only women can get pregnant is false.

> To the best of my knowledge, it is completely 100% accurate for biological sex.

Biological sex is multidimensional; the usual way legal gender is initially ascribed is based on presentation of external genitalia at birth, which while it is a biological sex trait and has a correlation with other biological sex traits, is not necessarily aligned with what, if any, functional reproductive capacity exists.

The idea that “biological sex” is a unidimensional binary trait is a common but erroneous idea.

I can't argue with that. I did used to prefer longer story arcs, at least in concept, but over time I've realized it's become a facilitator of lazy story writing. It takes a lot of tact to wrap on up an idea into an episode or two, and I think that's a good constraint for writers to have, whereas a story arc spanning multiple seasons can quickly turn into a bait and switch. I've seen too many arcs start with interesting concepts that get dragged out to a point where they completely trail off, leaving me wondering why I'm still watching. Modern TV can be a lot like the ol' boiling a frog in a pot of water. Only it's not so much people are getting hurt as their time is getting wasted. It's not that I don't appreciate arcs, and I know why people want continuity, but too much continuity over concrete ideas has lead me to leaving my TV mostly off this last year.

There's many circumstances in which one party breaking the law allows another party to _legally_ perform actions which are typically not allowed.

For example, it is illegal to kill another human being. However, nearly all jurisdictions recognize "killing in self-defense" as permissible, if unfortunate.

I can't say if the same argument applies in this situation, but I _could_ see some parallels. If a malicious party is willing to cause you financial harm for their own gain, and you can reasonably prevent this financial harm by quickly inflicting equal-or-less harm on them, perhaps that's justifiable.
That would be even harder because now you need to match position and velocity instead of just position.
But this works only if you can afford a lot of lawyers. Without that you don't get to negotiate much from my experience.
