That's funny because in your original comment you did just that to all people with a criminal record. Now somebody pushed you a little and you suddenly feel that it's unjust. Think about it a little.
It’s a good thing that’s not what lobbying is! Think more power points and less cash.

No reason they couldn't port XCode to iOS, and given the nature of skunkworks projects in Apple, this may have already occurred. Plus they also have their current installed base of Macs that can still be used even if Apple stops development of new features for macOS while they transition the tools to iOS.

If Apple's Mac business was it's own business, it would be in the Fortune 500.[1] I agree that they're pushing iOS hard, but I think as long as revenue is as strong as it has been, this new Post-Jobs Apple won't be getting rid of Macs.

Does it support transparency and 4:4:4 chroma? Otherwise it does not cover all gif use cases. Namely pixel art and sprites.

Animated PNG is probably a better replacement for those.
Yeah, really hard to believe we simply modernized the idea of the Highwayman. Even harder to believe that the police force is so corrupt in so many parts of this country that they were able to rebrand the tactic and get it written into laws as legal.

Wait, this is 2017 right? None of that's hard to believe.

> Males mammals tend to get aggressive when another male encroaches on their "space" or dominion - homicidal even.

While that's probably true about many mammals, that doesn't mean that it's true for humans, at least not at the biological level. It's certainly within the realm of possibility that our men's aggressiveness towards other men that approach upon "their women" is a societal construct, not a biological one. This is supported by the fact that there are human (and close ape) societies in which that is the case.

Sex at dawn pokes quite a lot of holes in the standard narrative of human sexuality; and they propose an alternative one which seems to fit some of the facts better. While their model might not be accurate or, and may even be wrong, I've yet to seen anyone poke serious holes in it or manage to patch the holes they've poked in the standard narrative. I'd appreciate being pointed to such arguments.
Sure, maybe the recruiter/company messed up on the contract side of things...but at the end of the day the recruiter found a candidate that the company likes and the company isn't willing to compensate the recruiter for his efforts.

Let's look at a similar but slightly different scenario - If there was an issue with your contract and the company realized they didn't have to pay you...you can guess what decision they're probably making.

Sure, while this might not be illegal (and you wouldn't be at any fault either way), I definitely wouldn't want to work at a company that operates this way.

Also, not to mention - the recruiter will probably find out you got the job, when you update your LinkedIn, you post something online, etc...
Your comic is a really poor analogy. /r/programming is not your house. You are saying you want to be able to publicly denigrate other people, and have those people be prohibited from responding publicly. That's nothing like someone showing up in your house to correct you.

Fast compilation: less than a second (feels like not waiting at all)

Slow compilation: more than a minute (makes to start browsing HN, missing the end, thus losing even more time)

To have fast compilation even with big projects is hard. Go, C, and D are usually fast. Scala is usually slow.

I care about development builds primarily. The edit-compile-test loop must be really really fast. Optimization flags are irrelevant, because if performance matters you often must have them enabled for development as well.

It is useful to distinguish between the individual user's perspective and the global perspective.

You want to focus on the individual user, and that makes sense. But to him/her, they're using an anti-charity because they want to increase their odds of accomplishing their goal. So when thinking about whether it is "good for the world" or "bad for the world" that people do this, we have to factor in:

1: the x% probability that the user will fail, and money will be donated, and

2: the y% chance that the user would have failed without the anti-charity option, but succeeds instead because of it.

When you consider both of these aspects, it is not at all clear that the anti-charity option is bad for the world.
On the other side of this, I'm glad my parents didn't listen to advice not to let me have a computer growing up, or I might be in a different career. The people who build the technology of tomorrow will be better than us at it, because they've been exposed to the technology of today, and internalized it, from an earlier age.

In a similar vein, do any non-devs here work remote?

A lot of companies where I’ve seen remote work allowed, only (explicitly) allow it for software engineering roles. And any other postings from the company will specify a particular office location.

I’ve been allowed to work remote in my current company, but only as a quirk of the org structure here and getting lumped in with the dev team. I do more of business operations and analytics work that usually doesn’t report up through engineering, and trying to find a new job that allows remote work has been painful.

There seems to be at least some differing cultural values. I've had experiences with tea houses in TW/CN where the tea that is served is not really what I ordered and instead of being embarrassed or apologetic about it, they are impressed that I can even tell the difference! My friend had someone brew the same tea in different ways and try to sell it to him at different prices. When called out the guy seemed delighted at the challenge!
I agree with what you're saying. I think the author was wrong in trying to pin it completely on the "nuclear family."

I was more or less agreeing with the notion that many of us pursue this path to self-sufficiency with our nuclear families. We buy our own house. Do our own laundry, our own cooking and yard work, our own house repairs, etc, etc. After all that work, I personally find I have little time and energy to socialize.

So then we work harder so we can afford services like maids and gardeners.

I think the answer is akin to what the author mentions: we need a village! It would be great if I used my handy skills to help my neighbors, and the local green thumb helped me with my yard in turn. It would be great if a retired woman in the neighborhood wanted to help take care of the babies for a night while my wife and I go out.

Back in the days of villages, this was how it worked. Now, along with the consumerist culture you mentioned, and the dogma about self-sufficiency, we are all working ourselves to death.

Can confirm, I jump from one language to another every couple of months or so without, the ability to concentrate on one. Ah Elm is so cool, but today ReasonML is getting interesting traction and support from Facebook... I should try that.

I have opposite approach. I am happy to buy electronic toys and anything else moving. Mostly because I liked them when I was a child and remember strongly wishing a remote control car or ship or transformer (cause you could change their shape, i did not care one bit about the movie). Dunno why I wanted them so much, but no one would buy that to me cause I was a girl and it would be inappropriate.

My kids had remote controlled car before they were able to push buttons. For that reason.
Yes, what a surprise that they ranked in order of price, but what did surprise me was how dramatic that price difference was: $60k Tesla, $41k Bolt, $37k Leaf. Who would have thought - a car that costs twice as much gives a better experience. A correlation between price and experience?
any non-devs here work remote?

I work remotely, but it is with an online writing service, plus as a blogger who gets a smidgeon of Patreon money and as someone who does resume work and advertises it myself. I don't have a remote "job" per se.

I worked for a time at Aflac. While I was there, they were trying out remote positions within the claims department (where I worked).

I am also trying to create a support system for digital workers, including but not limited to remote workers. This is the current page of remote job boards and what limited stuff I have for that area:

The problem with a check is that all the funds are not available right away. Typically I need to refresh my checking account in order to pay an upcoming bill (such as mortgage) because other expenses popped up and drained my account. Though a bank check would be better for times that aren't time sensitive.

Family is one of the last meaningful connections. With technology, globalization, people moving faster from place to place, never connecting with anything or anyone anymore.

Everyone is more a alone, young, old, singles, couples, parents, men, woman... Conflating that with having kids or a family is missing the issue.

I am all for more communal society, but also more for family and friends time, less daily work hours, more vacation days, bigger weekends?

No. The European Commission ruled that Ireland gave preferential rates to Apple (and I believe this will go to the European Court of Justice, where the case will, I believe, be the EC v. Ireland; Apple aren't directly a party of the case).

we have a ton of toys, but they are always organized into containers and cupboards. toddler selects one to play with but can't move on to the next one until they clean up, usually this makes them just play longer with the selection. do you reall have to limit the amount of toys, or just the way you play?
Is this moral? No. You already know that. ("I would normally not do business with such a company.")

Is this legal? Probably not. The company is trying to get out of a contract, not by finding a legal flaw, but by trying to not let the other side know that the contract's terms have actually triggered.

Also note that they're telling you (at least) two conflicting stories about why they don't have to pay the recruiter. Also note that they aren't willing to actually tell any of those stories to the recruiter, preferring to hide that they are hiring someone the recruiter presented.

And, fair warning: If this company is willing to screw the recruiter, they're willing to screw you. No matter how badly you really need a job right now, think hard about whether you're willing to walk into this snake pit.

And, another warning: IANAL, and I don't even play one on HN, but you may be exposing yourself to legal problems if you go along with this scheme.

>He's worried about compile times? Fix the compiler.

If it were that simple, the compiler wouldn't be slow in the first place. Rustc and ghc have both been too slow to be usable their entire lives. There doesn't seem to be any reason to believe they can be made fast enough to consider using.
Would be strange if it was otherwise.

The whole serverless stuff only pays if you have highly varying loads OR want to save of Ops staff.
I don't completely agree that NYT has framed this as Saudis being attacked, but I did find this sentence strange:

> "The findings show that the Iranian-backed Houthis, once a ragtag group of rebels, have grown powerful enough to strike major targets in Saudi Arabia, possibly shifting the balance of their years-long war."

Shifting the balance in the war? Not even remotely true and is quite simply impossible while the Saudis have all the help from the US.
Also notably,

> An employer, upon reasonable request, shall provide the pay scale for a position to an applicant applying for employment.

So not only can they no longer ask you for salary history, they must tell your about their salary practices if you request the information.

Yeah at the margin these things will always be somewhat arbitrary. I would fall on the side of data science is not programming. The purpose of data science (aka practical statistical analysis) is to perform some data transform with a purpose being to provide insight on the world. Programming (in haskell or any other language) is a tool to achieve that insight into crop yields or sales figures or economic policy effect or whatever.

How I'd go on the "used for programming question"

A database of haskell libraries - used for programming - rejected.

A database used as storage for a web site shopfront - used for a web site shop front (or data that isn't to assist a programmer doing programming) - accepted.

So true, I've come full circle on this myself. The issue for me personally though is that my family is not all that welcoming or supportive.
Same here. After my Amiga died I wanted to move to emulation, but I found a lot of my disks had died (I had moved to WHDload years before this so they haven't been used in a long time) and I was heart broken. A friend told me about Kryoflux and it worked flawlessly for them. It's only very rarely that I haven't been able to read a disk with it and most of them were super cheap 2000's era shitty disks. It's a utterly lifesaving and magical device.
That's relatively high, but local conditions vary.

Not based in the US, but due to general tax law complexities, tax authorities definitely negotiate over the specifics and interpretations of laws, as well as the amount payable (source: personal experience).

Having a good lawyer from an established firm with an excellent name helps a lot as well. If you're small fish, don't be surprised if civil tax servants try to bullshit you on the law. Be willing to fight (and prove them wrong), or be eaten.

On one particular case I'm aware of (friend of a friend), a seven figure tax sum was payable. They eventually settled everything for $25k because they weren't sure of their case.
My (highly optioned) 2015 LEAF was $22K after incentives ($7500 in federal and $2500 in state cheese, a few grand in Nissan cash, a free level 2 charger, some dealer concessions, and 0% financing for 5 years).

The 2018s are more (larger battery), but the net price will still be significantly cheaper than the average new car transaction price which is just a few dollars shy of $35K. (I tried to find the median; it was not easy and I gave up and took the average. I would bet that the median is still well over $27K.)
At the strategic level offensive and defense refers to the side which has positive war aims. That is, Attackers are trying to change the current state in their favor (e.g. seizing territory or regime change) whereas defenders are attempting to resist this change (i.e. maintaining the status quo). This can sometimes be complex as both sides in a war may have positive strategic aims.

Browser vendors usually do not have this choice. Either they proposed the change themselves, forcing other vendors to follow, or a prisoners-dilema occurs where either all vendors act, or non at all.

I agree with all the positive comments about BG. Also, interesting he sited two books about Vietnam. If you haven't caught the Ken Burns documentary on Vietnam (http://kenburns.com/films/vietnam/) you should try to catch it if it repeats on your PBS station or order them from pbs.org and help support them. KB always does great work and if you don't have time to read a book about it, it is a really great documentary series IMHO.

Spot on. As a Java developer, i've bounced around between Maven, Gradle, and ad-hoc shell scripts (and Ant back in the day!), and just cannot understand how so many people still think Maven is any good. It's not the XML - that's a superficial annoyance. It's the elaborate but extremely rigid model of what a project is and what a build is, that makes even the smallest deviation from a completely vanilla project excruciatingly painful.

Gradle has all sorts of failings, and is overly complex in its own way, but at least it gets the meta-model right: provide fundamental tools for building a graph of tasks with dependencies between them, and ship a set of hopefully useful tasks built on top of that.
All this says is the money will be placed in an escrow account while Apple and Ireland both appeal the decision, which they both seem confident to prevail eventually.

If I JDBC into this sort of infrastructure, how does that make me dependent on AWS? It's just a different pricing model and management style. Nothing more, nothing less.

(I'm not underestimating this service, quite the contrary, I think it's very neat for people without DevOps and/or frequent load.)
