i'm trying to work out in my head how we really get to the nirvana that twenty years ago seemed so obvious.

one thing is PKI. Start with taking your key to the passport office and get it signed, from there most things like government services call into place, and most apps and walled gardens just whither.

Tell HN: Who needs UI help?
We (http://fairpixels.pro) are going to start a new experiment where, every day, we’ll redesign the UI of a submitted project/startup for free and share the results with the public. This will help non-designers learn how to better design the UI of their product.

We’ll only design 1 screen per project. And only 1 project per day. Every day, we'll pick one of the submitted projects that we feel is interesting (so we won't be able to help every submission out as you'll understand)

Right now we’re accepting submissions.

Please send me a screenshot of the product you want to have redesigned (one screen only). There’s an email address in my profile.

You should be ok with us publishing your project (we'll also link to your website if you have anything people can check out)
I think it takes less than most of us imagine -- but more than most of us are capable of organizing.

If you wanted to build complexes to stimulate the economy, you'd probably need on the order of... $100M in buildings, and another $100M in endowments for operating expenses/grants/risky loans.

So 200M is a lot, but it's also only the retirement wealth of 100-200 upper-middle class families, of which there will be thousands per major metro (and perhaps a million or so across the US).

I think it's mostly a logistics problem -- in those million families, there are probably 10,000 that are interested in resettling to the middle of the country and would be willing to move half of their wealth into local investments on a generational scale (while keeping the other half in say, the market).

That means we could do 250-500 self-sustaining mixed-use complexes backed by endowments for operations costs, which is probably enough to target 50-100 towns.

The question becomes the organizational aspects of those people finding each other, building trust (between each other and with the involved communities), and finding the appropriate legal instrument to manage the money on that scale.

These are all much harder problems than finding money or media attention.
Would you say the same for indigenous people around the world? That when they're "priced out" they should just get the hell out?
Ask HN: What is your life goal?
Perception is reality.

When the average redneck is barking about “welfare queens”, he’s not talking about food stamps, WIC, Medicaid or SSDI. Half his family is enrolled in one or more.

The difference with something like food stamps is that a “normal” working class two parent household can get some benefit. It doesn’t make a lot of sense, but that is what many if not most people believe when you actually ask them.

When well to do people hide their assets in trusts so they can collect Medicaid when they get old, they don’t consider that welfare either.
Confiscatory taxes on the wealthiest would bring in hundreds of billions. That's not "very little impact", the money could be used to massively improve the lives of millions.

Yes, there are few people, numerically, in the top 0.01%, but that doesn't mean their taxes are inconsequential. Otherwise you might as well argue that they should pay no taxes at all. Absurd.
>But you try budgeting appropriately through a divorce and absurdly expensive custody battle

I did.

>But in a way, you're making my point for me; $100k in SE income is not the same as $100k in W-2 income.

Actually, I'm making the exact opposite point. The budget is the exact same. The budget is what forces you to not over-spend when times are good, so that you have plenty of money around when times are lean.

I feel that perhaps healthcare is the ultimate triumph of capitalism.

Every other avenue of runaway consumerism and overconsumption can obviously be pointed to as either indulgent or unnecessary.

But not healthcare: it's your health, after all - your wellbeing. It's a fundamental right, right ?

...

The received wisdom is that the aging of the baby boomer generation is driving expanded healthcare expenses as this large sect gets older. It's obvious that they need all of this "healthcare".

But what if there were an alternative, more insidious explanation:

The boomers represent an irresistible pile of money. But they don't smoke. They don't have new households to start. They're getting wise to the whole sugar thing. What is left to tempt them with ?

What if there were a clear imperative on the part of a variety of industries to keep this population as unhealthy as possible - so they can stripmine their assets for "healthcare" ?

A world without a hierarchy of journals with pre-publication peer review is a world in which 99.9% of people become unable to determine high-quality pseudoscience from science.

And what do you think the numbers are now, in the current world with pre-publication peer review?

You make a beautiful argument (genuinely) but I think it overlooks some of the most important criticisms of the current approach. Yes, it's almost universally accepted that ideas published in a high ranking journal have a strong correlation with consensus of those within the field the journal represents. The criticism though is about what happens in the (presumably rare) cases where the consensus of the field is wrong.

If the decisions of what to publish are made only by those invested in the status quo, how does a field self-correct rather than allowing errors to accumulate? How can one from the outside distinguish between a true-scientific field where this happens, and a pseudo-scientific one where it does not? It's a hard question without clear answers, but almost certainly it can't be done by relying only on the opinion of the experts within the field in question.

Using your very appropriate Ted Cruz example, it's worth remembering that credentialism plays to his strengths: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz). He was a debate champion at his undergraduate Princeton, and then graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law, where he was the primary editor of the Harvard Law Review. These are highly respected institutions, and association with them would generally would convince a lay-person this person is not an idiot.

Imagine that he's set up a system of peer review with a group of equally bright but ideologically biased peers, and is trying to argue that anything published without the approval of this group should be ignored as the work of "pseudoscientists and charlatans and extremist think-tanks". Irrespective of the truth of this claim, it wouldn't be a very convincing argument to anyone who didn't start out agreeing with it.

Commercial Unix was destroyed around that time, but I don't think that's what PHK was referring to. The seeds of commercial Unix's destruction had been sewn in the decade before.

I suspect he's referring to the change that happened in the late 90s as far as the level of quality required to exist in an OS distribution. Linux distributions had a way to bundling every hobbyist project on the planet, with practically no editorial oversight.

No, algorithms always matter. Especially in web-development. Yes, Javascript is slow. But there's no need to make it even slower by writing O(n^2) code where O(n) suffices. You don't even need to reach large n's to feel the lag. I personally had to rewrite such code, which was causing horribly slow website performance.

The big-O thing is not about C vs Python. A slow C program will lose to a Python program with a properly written algorithm any day of the week. Just because of how the math works out. The speedup of using C is linear (in practice, worse than linear). Suppose the O(n^2) C program executes each instruction 1000 times faster that the corresponding O(n) Python program. Then you only need n to start reaching thousands to blow the C program out of the water. Meanwhile, O(n^2) Python program would be a thousand times slower than that. And to me, that's unacceptable.

There are APIs around SQL that are pretty good in avoiding SQL injections; for example SQLAlchemy (a Python ORM) allows you watch pretty much any SQL query without writing literal SQL. You can use raw/literal SQL, but it's buried pretty deep in the docs.

Having a textual representation (with placeholders, of course) has some advantages I wouldn't want to give up:

* learn once, use it everywhere

* it's independent of the host language

* it's a reification of a query or an action, which is very useful for logs (like slow query log), debugging and the likes
As a point of reference, here are some sizes for the repos of the game I work on which has been developed over around 11 years.

120 GB for the game data repo. This is the repo for the source and art that actually ships.

2.5 TB for the raw art repo. This is where the pre-export raw files go.

Obviously it would be impractical to require that the artists all have the entire repo. We use SVN.
If you don't think the Rs and Ds are different sides of the same coin, just look at the nevertrumpers and "deep staters", career appointees who carry on regardless of who's in power.

This uniparty allows fringes of either side some pet causes, but at the heart of it, both parties share the same values.

That's not all that bad either, it guarantees continuity and limited disruption --but we need to understand that's how it works and its consequent limitations.

Couldn't agree more. Just recently I've used SQL to write a "lock and fetch" data query in one relatively simple instruction reducing the application logic complexity considerably.

By the way can anyone recommend a good book on advanced SQL (not a specific DBMS)?

The alternative to a "living document" is "we have a bunch of updates and errata, and you're going to have to piece together the current version yourself from many sources".

If you really need an unchanging version, download some version and use that.
Pretend, for a moment, that you're working on a one week project. You're estimating that week based on the ability to use an open source project which promises to take care of a large portion of the complexity for you. Also pretend you're new enough to not realize the hollowness of that promise.

It's only three days in to the project that you realize there's a mismatch between what you need and what the project provides. You start a conversation with the project's lead developer; but they're only able to have half of any given conversation in a day. How hard would it be to spend five days researching the cause and severity of the mismatch while discussing solutions with the remote developer?

There's 8 days.

You decide to write a patch for the open source project shepherd it through the internal and external approval process, burning up another two weeks of time.

18 days.

You finally get back and finish the original project, redoing a fair bit of work to account for the changes your patch introduced.

23 days.

You're interrupted throughout this process several times by fires in production that need to be fixed RIGHT NOW.

28 days.

Let's make the assumption your PM did their little trick, and slated 2 months for this project. Despite your own estimate being off (through no ill-will by anybody) by about 6x, your work is still completed before it's expected, and the teams depending upon your work are happy as clams. Even if it had finished in the original 5 days, everyone would be thrilled, and you'd get more work to do.

From the PM's point of view, it's a win-win situation. From your point of view, the worst you have to endure is a twinge of "don't you trust me?", offset by the relief of not having to answer "why isn't it done yet" every day from day 6 on.
You're making a comparison to the top 10% of the graduating class of an ivy league college; if you did the same analysis on Stanford MSCs in CS you would probably get a similar breakdown. That doesn't mean everybody going into software engineering makes $200,000/year (I'm making the assumption that the private equity firms are hiring the top performers in this case).
>Doctor Dobbs Developer DVD

What does / did the Doctor Dobbs Developer DVD contain? I used to read DDJ back in the day, when it was available (didn't have access to it in India, used to buy used copies at second-hand book shops, or sometimes read full articles standing right there in the shop, ha ha. Thankfully the shop owners never prevented me from doing that, maybe because of seeing my genuine interest, and I did buy copies once in a while). And I remember DDJ issues used to have ads about things like DDJ's CD-ROM of Alternative Programming Languages, and other such interesting stuff. Perusing the contents of such ads might even have been (not sure) how I got to know about Python, for example, which I use to this day :) A pity they had to shut down. I remember that the quality of the articles was very good, as was that of CUJ (C User's Journal). I also used to grab and read issues of these two magazines (and a few others, like VBPJ, Java Report and others) in the libraries of bigger companies where I worked some time later (the small one where I worked earlier didn't have much of a library, though it was not zero there either).
> They have relatives, friends, aesthetic preferences, social obligations, religious beliefs, and other things that "do not compute" in mathematical models.

They compute fine -- most models are just "lying with math" by excluding the value of those things from their calculations.

It's not different than a friend who ignores those things when using words -- of course it doesn't make sense why you don't move if you don't account for the full value of where you are at present.

I think if we accounted for the destroyed social value that most of these economic models have inflicted, it would be the obvious massive negative that most people anecdotally tell. I think it's very telling how rarely you see these kinds of things modeled in economic theory despite how obviously part of the way humans value things they are.

Economics is merely institutionalized fixation on money, and produces precisely the psychopathic models you'd expect from that.
Well, indeed; what that adds up to is that it's safer (if perhaps unwise, that's debatable) to get closer to the line with a stable income than an unstable one.

Otherwise, it seems your advice is "live within your means", "spend less than you make" and "save for rainy days". Thanks, dad.

The problem is that locking good research behind paywalls certainly does not help win the communication battle. Schools and grant givers need to stop relying on publishing in a prestigious journal as a criteria for being a good researcher.

I agree that proper, rigorous science needs to be marked as such, but the closed journals are part of the problem and not the solution.

Well, fair enough. Either way, the effect is the same — those variables are excluded from discussions in an almost sociopathic way.
The requirements will be a rocket ship to Mars, while all they need is a bus to the picknick. You argue that they really only need a bus, but then they go with a competitor, that delivers a rocket that almost makes it to the stratosphere. Then they take taxis to the picknick. So you promise the Mars mission, but with the estimate of the bus trip.
The unsafe Rails code accepts a string as argument and copies it as is into the SQL code. The safe statement accepts a map and transforms it into SQL code using all the safety features made available by the underlying database driver. It's what your helper function seems to do.

A solution would be banning any string argument, maybe except the inevitable one for fin_by_sql.

The post probably argues for databases exposing directly their inner API. Let's suppose there is a standard. I bet that there would be still ways to write vulnerable code.
What does "indigenous" mean here? Are we talking about nations, as in the Navajo or First Nations? Because that's an entirely different discussion. For everybody else I'd say yes, with mobility comes displacement. The ethics of fluid global and national labor markets are also a separate discussion, and I'm assuming we're discussing the current state of affairs.

Ordering alignment of rectangular prisms under simple shear is well established by now.

As is the variable effects of shaking - can increase or decrease packing fraction and order depending on magnitude.

In addition ordering in packings of rectangular prisms extend up to 8 particle lengths from the side walls - and are variable with time and history. This experiment's results could be partly due to edge effects.

To grow my SaaS company large enough to travel and work full-time.
I completely agree with you. I used to be in a very similar situation. I made about the same amount of money (quite a few years ago when it would have been worth a good bit more than today). I had a very similar experience. I lived paycheck to paycheck with nothing extra in the bank. Any unforeseen expense generated significant stress. It was not a fun experience. I can totally sympathize and agree that it feels miserable. But I cannot agree with the implications this article is making.

I was able to turn my situation around, not by getting tax cuts or help from the government, but by changing my lifestyle and my idea of what I needed. That house that you think you can afford that sets you back 20% of your gross pay? You don't need it. Cut your residence costs to something reasonable like 10% of of gross pay and boom, you magically have a surplus of ~$800 / month. That $400 - $500 / month car payment? You don't need that either. Stash away four months of the savings we just got on our residence and buy a used clunker for $3200, drive that into the ground, and by the time that dies, you will have saved up enough money to buy a perfectly fine used car for cash.

I have an artist friend who lives in NYC on ~$30k / year. She even has a car, which is an expense that a lot of people in NYC do without. Even in this situation she has been able to consistently put money away into savings and investments because she manages her money well. It's not about how much you make. Your choices have far more to do with it than most people are willing to admit.

Yeah considering how few companies go public compared to the 90s this is largely a scam to normalize unpaid overtime. When you have to work 100 hours to get paid for 40 how is the economy supposed to grow? Back when most jobs were unionized overtime meant prosperity it was a way for him to get the extra means to go from being a bus driver to a professional investor. Without paid overtime you have a serious transfer of wealth as your real wages are in fact around 1/2 to even 1/3 of actual hours worked. The movement for extreme unpaid overtime is a big factor in social inequality when there is no meaningful equity to balance out the sacrifice.
