I don't know. The introduction of Python 3 caused massive headaches and fractured communities, but the alternative of dealing with unattractive warts in a language until eternity is also not very attractive.

I quite like Python 3, and most of the backward-incompatible changes it introduced.

Duly noted. Didn't know it's against policy & will comply going forward.

Fair enough. I don't actually mind downvotes - it's just internet points - my observation was largely driven by me doing better on voting on stuff that isn't my expertise (tech / VC / programming) than stuff that is (finance).

Either way - it's more of a "that's interesting" observation than a "I'm angry".
Reading this thread is very disheartening. BPD symptoms are so common, and probably possible to see from afar, for instance the lone wolf who got picked on in school probably has better than average chance of eventually developing such symptoms.

This is such a BS excuse for favoring capital.

I agree. If the facts fit with a liberal theory of reality, that’s not liberal bias.

For example, after the financial crisis left wing economic theory made predictions: low interest rates would not lead to inflation; Government spending would not crowd out private investment but would work by stimulating demand. Etc.

Meanwhile right wing economic theory predicted hyperinflation which never came. Said that the biggest problem was government debt and deficits. Said that we had a structural imbalance of workers and job requirements so we would have perpetual long term unemployment. None of that happened.

So, if two theories make predictions and one set comes true, it doesn’t matter if it was liberal or conservative; it was just an accurate theory of reality.

Now we are told that corporate tax cuts will increase investment, increase GDP and lead to wage growth. Well that prediction was made under Bush; didn’t happen. It was made in Kansas; didn’t happen. So maybe the facts have a liberal bias.

I’ll make a prediction. Corporations will issue dividends about 1/3 of which will go to foreign stock holders. They will not increase wages with the excess cash. Any wage growth will be tied to reaching full employment. Corporations will not significantly increase capital investment in the US because the dollar will get stronger, the internal rate of return will be lower so their money will be better spent internationally. Let’s see what happens.
There is no such thing as appropriate in US politics anymore.

I can understand believing that, and it's likely true for some people. I don't think that all people with BPD are the same though - there's a wide range of severity, and comorbidity. She was actually the one who told me that she thought she was BPD, and wanted to get better.

If I thought she was truly sociopathic, I'd cut ties with her.

I'm not sure about that. Compared to Django, RoR and Laravel it's not opinionated enough. No resources like RoR and Laravel, no buil-in database mapping, no built-in authorization etc.

btw: what do you use for the database access? Slick, Quill, Doobie, ScalikeJDBC, Anorm, Squeryl, jOOQ, Relate, Activate or something else? There seem to be gazillions of sql libraries for scala (although the big three and most relevant are probably Slick, Quill and Doobie).

And what do you use for Authorization? Something custom build? If I look at Laravel there are quite a few maintained authorization libs with ~1000 stars on youtube (even more if we count unmaintained), for play there is not really much (deadbolt, play4j and t2v/play2-auth, I don't count Silhouette since the lib is mainly about authentication).
At the school I went to, Caltech, a typical computer science class was supposed to take 9 hours per week (3 hours in class, 6 hours outside of class for reading and homework).

12 weeks @ 10-12 hours/day on algorithms and data structures would be more time than one would have put into those subjects getting a CS degree from Caltech [1], so I wouldn't dismiss it based solely on it only being three months.

[1] well, it would have been if Caltech offered an undergraduate CS degree when I was there. At the time, they only had graduate degrees in CS. They had all the necessary classes available for undergraduates, but just didn't have the program. Those of us interested in CS would usually major in math or physics or EE, and simply take all the CS classes as electives.

The further power moves away from people, the less people can actually do to change things. What's the point of being outraged at the things you can't control. If the government continues to abuse people's rights, whats the point of getting upset, if you can't change anything about it. The closer power moves towards people the more likely they will take action... Instead of trying to be master conductors, the government should focus on returning power back to the states and back to the people.

Two things that stand out to me: Now you can quit your job and do whatever without getting robbed by absurdly expensive plans through ACA or shaken down when you file taxes. That's a big deal for people who want to take a chance on some startup idea. And filing taxes is simpler since you don't have to prove that you had health insurance. I hated that shit.

What is happening at Apple? I’m honestly worried for them. Is their QA department in disarray?
With smart cards (EMV, PIV, etc.), cryptographic functions executed on secret materials are usually handled on the card. The host sends the data to be encrypted or signed to the card, requests the card to process it, and then reads the encrypted results or signature. Often, there are no ways to get the chip to send the private key off of the device. Once the private key is generated or loaded onto the device, it can only be erased or written over.

Standards like FIDO and others allow for browsers and websites to utilize these cryptographic functions of smart cards in ways to handle website authentication. The technology exists for smartcards to handle authentication, it is simply a matter of us moving to this technology.
Python 3 killed Python?
Feels like the Perl story again, lack of backwards compatibility or "next version will be perfect" killed the language.
And people still complain about Java, C# and others being too slow to deprecate old apis.
Some of both (for example, % formatting got added back to bytes objects in 3.5).

Also, supporting 2.5 (or even 2.4) together with Python 3 was particularly inconvenient, so things sped up after people stopped caring about those (which took a long time because some people were running extended-support enterprise distributions).

> The end of the individual mandate

That's not true, ACA is still in force and everybody will continue to have access to insurance, no rejection for preexisting conditions, people can still be under their parents' health insurance well into their 20s, etc. The only change is now you won't get shaken down when you file your taxes for not having health insurance, which to me is a great thing, especially for members of a site like Startup^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Hacker News.
My point is that the First Amendment is far more complicated than your comment. The government regularly forces private corporations to carry speech they disagree with in the name of the First Amendment.

> Your 2fa codes are effectively always available on your computer this way.

No, they're not. They're available on the hardware key, which is more secure than software (malware, keylogger, etc), and requires a physical touch to be activated.

If your computer is lost or stolen, you simply revoke your lost key and use your backup one. If your password is compromised (say, by a keylogger), they won't be able to do much without your hardware key.

It's not perfect, but it's a good balance between security and convenience.
Let’s say you lost your testicles due to cancer, but there’s a new procedure that can grow new ones from your stem cells. It’s experimental and will cost $150,000. Before having your cancerous testes removed you stored sperm.

Are you really surprised that some men who want to be fathers would choose to have the procedure rather than using their own previously stored sperm?
Inaccurate. Orange county voted for Hillary by nearly 9 points while people like Darrel Issa barely hung on. Same for people that hung on in the Bluer parts of Colorado and NoVa like Mike Coffman and Barbara Comstock.

It's pretty clear that the long-range goal of Republicans in Congress is to reduce or eliminate the New Deal entitlement programs. Greatly increasing the federal deficit is simply a means to this end. This was exactly Ronald Reagan's strategy. Nothing has changed in 35 years.

>Jokes aside, I wonder if we're really seeing the long term erosion of democracy because people just don't care.

Or maybe a better explanation is that the will of the people is actively surpressed? Be it voter ID laws surpressing Democrats, or the democrats themselves surpressing the voices of progressives through superdelegates and closed primaries, there are serious issues with our democracy.

Throw in a populace that's been the victim of a failing education system for decades due to candidates who slash taxes (and thus budgets).

And now, when the problems are so acute, I find it very interesting that the narrative becomes that all these issues are the fault of the lazy voters. A convenient, and false narrative.

"I would definitely bet he's serious because it totally fulfills my preconceived notions about how he behaves, and I don't have to do anymore work to justify that." The tweet before the quoted one, made less than 10 minutes before the impeachment one, is:

> Please move to Manayunk, where I now rule and now plan to secede from the United States.

There are also nearly a dozen tweets following that of the same form (e.g. "The weird thing is, I demanded people always call me Judge Garcia, way before this even happened!")

It's also quite laughable to chatter about "appropriateness in politics" referring to America, considering a bunch of idiot republicans drafted a tax bill in the middle of the night with scribbles in margins and passed it as law in our country without reading it, less than 24 hours ago (as of the time of writing this comment.)

"Appropriateness" is a code word for "it's ok to make things measurably worse, if you just smile while doing it." But if you make a stupid joke about the Sex Crime President on Twitter, apparently -- that's just not cool, maaaaan, and it like, you know, like, tells us tons about the lame politics of the people, maaaaaaaaaan, it's soooooooo obvious, so easy to see. That's why I'm a genius of political analysis.

Facts please.

What's stopping EU from getting their acts together and impose corporate equivalent of Alternative Minimum Tax for companies doing business there?
In some ways it was probably too "enlightened". Far too little was done to help the newly freed slaves and far too much was done to coddle their former owners. The "forty acres and a mule" promise was abandoned almost immediately and the freed slaves received no compensation whatsoever for their years of work, leading directly to the astronomical poverty rates that persist to the present day. The right to vote for the former slaves lasted barely more than a decade before the southern states started to disenfranchise them. The first two black senators were elected within a decade of the end of the Civil War. The third wasn't elected until more than a century after it ended.
> How do you map a public key to a person?

In Slovenia where I'm from you have to go to a government location, same place that gives out IDs and passports and such, show your government issued ID and sign some paperwork. You are then given a digital certificate that you can use for online banking and e-government stuff. Proper RSA stuff. You install it on your computer and your browser uses it to sign requests.

Seems like a pretty good way to do it, if you ask me.

A slightly more efficient, if less secure, way is how Apple does it for their Apple Developer program. You have to prove to Apple in a way they like that you are who you say you are, then you are issued a certificate with which to sign your apps. That could work too.
