Yeah, I was surprised too. We tried looking for something so we didn't have to build it, but couldn't find anything that worked the way we wanted.

There's a few services that let you send post cards, but it's hard to tell a compelling story with just one picture. They also don't look great framed.

We've also seen some photo book services too, but they just tend to print on regular paper. We use real Kodak/Fujifilm photo paper, which look good around the house or in frames.
> I don't have kids, and I've been told on several occasions that I was selfish for not doing so. Isn't it more selfish to have kids (who didn't ask for being born) for one's own joy?

There's a lot of positive things you can do for the environment: less or no (air, car) travel, avoid plastic and downcycling your waste, avoiding meat. As our population size increases the one best thing you can do for the environment is not having kids and if you do have kids stay as close to the amount of 1.
Why do you need Aadhaar to investigate a lost package?
> I don't think so. A Java programmer can be trained in JML in a day.

This I don't believe, not in the general case. If it were that easy we'd see a lot more people doing it. (And I'm pretty sure I've put more than a day's worth in over the years).

> Sure, but pure "functions" can be reasoned about as functions even in Java.

It's much harder without monads. You lose the ability to cleanly divide the return value of a function that's composed from smaller functions into two visibly orthogonal aspects that you can provably think separately about, so you have to understand all aspects of what the intermediate values represent at once.

I speak Spanish and Hebrew.. (lived years in Israel and now living in Mexico/Colombia) and I found Hebrew was muuuuch easier to learn than Spanish.. Dont ask me why but I think there is just less words or something.. I learned to speak Hebrew much faster..
I wonder if we could have heart wrapping aid. For some people with partially failing heart, not structural but more like dead tissue, an external pressure help from the wrapper could help restore proper blood pressure without requiring replacement.
Yes. I was just stating the obvious, which appeared to be not so obvious to the commenter.
I'm glad too. Female friends have shared disturbing stories about advances by professors, supervisors, buyers, and others with influence over their lives. I mean, "sexretary" was a cliche, a few decades ago. For the most part, they were testing for potential victims.

I'm guessing that this could become a substantial purge.
I think he was meaning nop in the sense of "no operation." Its a term originating from an assembly language instruction meaning "do nothing."

Basically, if you press the home button; nothing happens.

My pleasure. I'm here if you need to bounce some ideas around.
Do you mean cancellable promises were cancelled, or AbortSignal was cancelled? Because they went with the latter in the end. It got a bit fuzzy for a couple of years tbh. Personally I wanted cancellable promises because reasons, but i can appreciate the DRY aspects of AbortController and stuff going on in other APIs.

As recently as September the AbortSignal approach was implemented in Edge 16 and Firefox 57!

New York Stock Exchange | https://www.nyse.com | New York, NY | Lead, senior and junior engineers | ONSITE | Full-time

We are looking for quick learners who enjoy working with modern software
development tools in the financial and capital markets space.

Knowledge of specific frameworks or libraries is less important than a broad
knowledge of software development practices, and an ability to learn.

At the NYSE, we are building customer-facing web applications with tons of
referential data and many downstream systems.

Must haves:

1. Experience developing web applications and web sites.

2. Very good grasp of Python 3.5+ or TypeScript. Both are a plus.

3. Some knowledge of the other language listed above.

4. Willingness to work with both ecosystems.

5. Relational database experience, ideally PostgreSQL.

6. An understanding of automated testing and when it’s an asset and when it’s a liability.

7. Clear, concise coding skills. Your code is more often described as "clean and elegant" than "clever."

8. A healthy amount of patience for firewall/infrastructure navigation. We use modern stacks and have access to most tools, but still operate in a regulated environment.

Nice to haves:

1. Understanding of formal methods

2. Bash and vi fu.

3. Mypy and static typing experience in Python

4. React experience.

5. Django experience.

6. Static typing experience in other languages: Java, C++

7. API design

8. Rust experience

Interested? Email me at silvio.gutierrez@nyse.com. Mention that you saw this on HackerNews and what position you're applying for.
one of my first thoughts reading this article - aren't there journalistic standards around things like this?
Sexuality has value. Our system will continue to be in a chaotic disequilibrium until we can find a way to manage the fact that sexuality has as much value as money and power, and that it is impossible to separate it from business.

But where we're at now, sexuality is just feared by timid people, and exploited by scumbags.

So I am using Alpine and generally like it.

One question that perhaps someone on this thread will know... why does it cache DNS differently from Ubuntu, and is there a way to fix it?

My app has a domain name for the database sever that I pass to Psycopg2.. say foobar.something.google-cloud.internal. It resolves to the private IP of my PostgreSQL sever.

The problem, is EVERY SINGLE database query is querying the DNS. I can sometimes push 10,000 DNS queries per second. 9,990 of those are for the same stupid database server. Kubernetes runs it's own DNS server which takes the load, but sometimes they get overwhelmed a bit. I am obviously doing something wrong, but not sure the path to explore down.

If I can fix this, then alpine is working pretty amazing for me :)

Shibboleths. Add these up and if you exceed 5 we’d love to hear from you:

- You understand meta programming python. What the type() function really does, and how it can be used. And when it should not be used.

- You understand discriminated unions, and how to use the type system to enforce exhaustive checks and other useful patterns.

- You can describe good and bad use cases for single page applications.

- You can describe why nullable types and a type system that enforces it are advantageous over type systems like Java’s.

- You can and have extracted declarative implementations out of imperative code. You know when it’s worth it and when it’s not.

- You know what the right time is to add unit tests to your code.

- You can describe a list comprehension, and have strong opinions regarding when and when not to use them.

- You know the benefits of generators and the yield statement.

- John is in many bands. We want to keep track of them. And we also want to track when he joined them. You know exactly how to model this in a relational store.

- You understand higher order functions, and sometimes secretly wish Python had more of them.

- You can describe ways in which lambda in Python is limited. And the reasoning - however flawed or not - behind it.

- You know when to use composition over inheritance.

- You understand the article “What Color is Your Function?” and can discuss it with us.

- You think comments are a last resort for documenting an algorithm.

- You can describe a pure function. Bonus: you can explain referential transparency. Even I can’t.

- You know the different types of automated testing there are, and when to use each.

- You have strong opinions on handling nested resources in REST and can espouse all the benefits of your take.

Well that's up to the writer of that class to implement a comparator function to define a total order correctly. I am not even sure there an be a meaningful total order on postal addresses.

The binary sort algorithm shouldn't care about how that's implemented.

> There is also the fuzzy line between

there isn't necessarily a line. if you keep "trying to get laid" after being told someone wasn't interested, you're doing both.
What sort of in-use battery life do you get on that? If I were to use it for an ultra run next year, would it be able to last 12 to 18 hours with GPS tracking on for most of that time?

I see the "5 day" claim on the site but these tend to be vastly exaggerated (based on absolutely perfect conditions with everything other than just the watch and maybe step counter functions turned off) in my experience.
I'll grant you that it makes a good scapegoat, but frankly this doesn't really matter... the US went to war with Iraq with bad intel before the machine learning boom.
Well unfortunately the court of public opinion is pushing actual legal systems in directions that I think a lot of people are unhappy with too. I think it's the court of public opinion that we need to fix because of the impact it has elsewhere. I'm not generally a fan of Jeremy Clarkson's politics, but I think he makes a good point that we often think many of the people around us in public are morons but that being judged by a jury of those morons is a good idea, as opposed to being judged by the mature, experienced and very well-educated judge. Now obviously I'm not against juries and I'm not for authoritarian centralized judicial systems, but generally both conservatives and liberals seem increasingly willingly to trash people's reputations or call for harsh punishments because of an accusation and they only care for a methodical process of reviewing evidence and testimony and maintaining innocence until proof of guilt if they like the person. I mean police shootings are another issue like this - listen to the public discourse and virtually everyone has made up their mind about what should happen before any video is releases, and when video is released everyone sticks to the decision they already made before seeing it. Maybe we never had it, but most people seem to have lost the ability to withhold mental judgment until seeing it, and instead of people who think some shootings were understandable and others were abuses of authority, you have a lot of people who think they're virtually all one or the other.
There's nothing more hipster than using a hand-made journal. Compared to that, a Moleskin notebook that you buy at Target or B&N out in the suburbs is about as mainstream as it gets.

Well never run out, they’ll just select for new cryptic colorations and evasive behaviors. Fools and assholes are humanity’s greatest resources.
In the spheres being reported on, yes. On the other hand, something I find interesting is that there are plenty of nontrivial YouTube creators with large followings, and more than one of them has been outed as a scumbag (which was low-key happening before #MeToo, in a way that actually-powerful people seemed immune).
