> I know it sounds like a small thing,

I think the case is obvious for integer vs floats -- addition should be addition.

Many languages don't use "+" for string addition, because string addition is not commutative (a+b != b+a)
SQL, for example, uses "||" for this, and Haskell uses "++"

That being said, argument type overloading is important for clarity. One of the famous failures in Haskell is "map" only works on lists, and "fmap" on other functors.

Was it Trump or one of his staff? I've only seen it reported that it was directly Trump, which seems beyond stupid even for Trump. Would make more sense it was someone on the staff.

Received an email too:

Dear customer,

As you are surely aware, the browser makers distrusted StartCom around a year ago and therefore all the end entity certificates newly issued by StartCom are not trusted by default in browsers.

The browsers imposed some conditions in order for the certificates to be re-accepted. While StartCom believes that these conditions have been met, it appears there are still certain difficulties forthcoming. Considering this situation, the owners of StartCom have decided to terminate the company as a Certification Authority as mentioned in Startcom´s website.

StartCom will stop issuing new certificates starting from January 1st, 2018 and will provide only CRL and OCSP services for two more years.

StartCom would like to thank you for your support during this difficult time.

StartCom is contacting some other CAs to provide you with the certificates needed. In case you don´t want us to provide you an alternative, please, contact us at certmaster@startcomca.com

Please let us know if you need any further assistance with the transition process. We deeply apologize for any inconveniences that this may cause.

Ok... What the Model 3 was intended to be???

First thing, cheap? The Bolt starts at $37,495. Straight from GM's website. That is pretty much the same as the Model 3.

Electric, check. But with the Bolt, you are maxed out at 238 miles EPA range. With the model 3, your base is higher and if needed you can get over 300+, I believe the EPA just rated it out somewhere in the 320's for the Long range version. Perfect.

I think you are one of the few who would call the Bolt "slick", especially in relation to Tesla, but to each their own.

Rides excellent.. yeah, the Model 3 does that well, see MotorTrend's review even.. [1]

Parallel parking manually... that's cute. Model 3 does it autonomously.

I'm pretty lost on where you think the Model 3 fell short of expectations and isn't what it was intended to be?

To top it off, I just checked 5 Chevy dealers around me locally (I'm in the third largest metro in the U.S.) and not one had a Bolt in inventory. I have actually never seen one on the roads either. So the "you can get it today" argument is very limited to only a few markets... and that is a maybe.

Don't forget that the Chevy Bolt is also a compliance car. I'm sure the quality and engineering time put into it was top-notch.

This is often my feeling, if the game is too involved, too technical and requires extensive thinking and manual reading then it feels like work. Similarly, baking also feels like working in the lab (I'm a scientist).
“Wherefore art thou Romeo” isn’t confusing to modern English speakers because of the archaic “art thou”, it’s confusing to modern English speakers because it actually means “why are you [named] Romeo [implicitly, Montague]”, the where- prefix has nothing to do with location.

It’s extremely common for modern speakers to be unaware what wherefore means.
It was reported yesterday that Trump himself was going around to Congressmen trying to get them to drop their investigations and we only have the special investigation because Trump directly pressured Comey.

Handy | Software Engineers | NYC | ONSITE

https://www.handy.com/careers

Handy is changing the way the world buys services by connecting customers with vetted, independent, local service professionals in a fast, convenient and reliable way - at the tap of a button.

We are a collaborative team of about 100 people across marketing, ops, customer support, product, data, finance and engineering, and our headquarters is located in the Flatiron District, NYC.

Our stack is Javascript, Ruby on Rails, and MySQL but we believe that smart engineers from any background can become effective on our codebase quickly.

I’m currently an Engineering Manager with almost 10 years of hands on software experience. Feel free to reach out to me directly at eabrahamsen@<our domain> if you have any question.

Here is some recent news about Handy.

You said that jewelry and industrial use outweighs investment use, but gold reserves (investment) far outstrip yearly transaction amount, that is the difference with other commodities, where it is rare to have more than a year supply. It is a feature of gold and that is why people call it a "store of value".

Transactions are necessary but insufficient for something to become a store of value. For example, steel is sold in great amount, but it is not a store of value.
In this specific case, strongly typing the CryptVerificationResult as an enum would have helped. But, generalizing the problem, if you had more complicated criteria for whether that branch should be taken, it can be far too easy to save an intermediate result into a (strongly typed) variable but never end up using it in the correct way in the condition statement itself.

Rust goes part of the way here by ensuring that Result variables get checked: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/#results-must-be-used which to my knowledge is not something you can mimic in C/C++. But you could still forget a negation or use && instead of || somewhere, and have an uncommon code path fail.

Code review reduces but doesn't eliminate the probability of these complex logic errors. What's really needed is tooling that ensures test coverage on a phrase-by-phrase, not line-by-line, basis. (Basic line coverage would have said that all these lines of code were executed in testing.) And you need a culture around paying attention to those results. That can be very difficult to build, but for mission-critical software (security included) you absolutely need that level of attention to detail.
As a fluent Spanish speaker, I won't go that far, but now that I am learning Latin, I am amazed how easy it seems. As an aside, I can understand ~80% of spoken Portuguese and maybe ~50% of Italian.

"Yes, I know the “real” explanation as to why you skipped an entire major version. We both know the truth though, don’t we A my sweet. Well I’m not a complete fiend. Your secret is safe with me."

San Bernardino did demonstrate this to some degree, but I could easily have imagined that event pushing Congress to pass some pretty draconian legislation if the FBI hadn't found an alternate path into the phone, things got pretty heated with that one. I'd go as far as to say the surprisingly tough public stance Tim Cook took against the government's position was pretty unusual too.

I would be worried about what would happen if a similar highly public spat over an encryption issue happens under the current US administration - it's abundantly clear that the politics of this issue and the facts are not in alignment, Trump would doubtless adore the publicity of it. At any rate, I'd imagine San Bernadino is almost certainly not the last time this is going to be a national political issue, in the USA or elsewhere.

This of course pales in comparison to China though.

do they 'not look stupid' because they have been around such a long time that they have trained our sense of what we consider a beautiful timeless building to be _or_ are they actually beautiful timeless buildings?

In another 1000 year would steel "contemporary" buildings be considered beautiful or not? Is beauty a requirement for a institution? Do you want a building to be beautiful or functional? Who gets to decide what is beautiful?
Yes, but this ignores the fact that those patents are transferred to an acquirer upon the sale of your startup. Yes, the patent is largely useless to your startup. However, if you've proven the market, a patent could be an attractive perk to acquire your startup (rather than just copying and crushing it) since they can use that patent to keep other big players out.

It has little to do with politics but much to do with language families. All of the top languages are from the Indo-European family[1], the family to which English belongs to. In other words, these languages are genetically related, and therefore easier to learn for an English speaker. Some are very closely related (Germanic languages, e.g. Dutch, Norwegian), and some are more distantly related (Persian, Urdu, Hindi are also Indo-European but very distantly related to English). Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean are outside the Indo-European family.

Sometimes, there's also a misconception that the top languages are at the top because they're objectively "easier" than the bottom languages. It's not true, it really depends on the language(s) you already speak.

I hold the opinion that if you need a public ICO to "get stakeholders" you already failed, or are already successful as a scam.

There are a ton of ways to find and secure proper, reliable stakeholders who are committed to your technology or your cause/product. (Private ICO being one of the ways. Keep things under wrap, develop the technology, have a proof of concept, sell some product, and then MAYBE if it makes sense, go public.) A public ICO blasting across the internet when there is no product, no plan, and no real engineering already done is nothing but a cash grab, and I am not at all surprised that they are embroiled in lawsuits.
I am thinking of phenomenon like The Pink Collar Ghetto, The Second Shift and our latest, oft misused, buzz word "emotional labor." These are all well documented phenomenon that taking care of others at their own expense is a burden routinely placed on women in a way that does not get done to men.

I am a woman. I was one of the top 3 students of my graduating high school class. I never got the serious career I wanted, nor the money that goes with such things.

So I have read a lot of books and articles on women's issues over the years trying to sort out what on earth went wrong with my life and how can I fix it? But HN is overwhelmingly male. Trying to discuss such things here from a female perspective is quite challenging. The vast majority of replies will be openly hostile and dismissive. It is rare that anyone is genuinely curious why an educated woman who is the antithesis of a feminazi would think such a thing.

Men here get incredibly defensive. Any whiff of the idea that "sexism" is a factor brings out the worst in comments. It is taken as an accusation that people are being intentionally and maliciously exclusionary. It makes it really hard to give a female point of view here at all, which tends to result in the gender based exclusion that people here seem to want to claim they aren't guilty of.
Green Hills Software | Santa Barbara, CA | Full-time | ONSITE | Embedded Software Consultant | https://www.ghs.com/jobs.html

Do you thrive on troubleshooting software problems and designing creative solutions, enjoy learning about new technology, and want to jump in and save customers in desperate need of a hero? Join our Embedded Software Consulting team!

We're called the "support" department, but we don't field calls about "my cup holder is broken." We're much more likely to have someone compile 20K lines of C++ code with optimizations for the first time and have them tell us there's a bug in the compiler; but in reality their program has some undefined behavior that happens to behave differently with optimizations on -- and it's our job to find it! (Once we discovered that the code needed three volatile keywords added, on two lines of code!)

Job Requirements:

* Learn and understand the inner workings of complex software systems

* Quickly diagnose technical problems with limited information

* Succinctly explain complex technical concepts to experts from other technical domains

* At least 2 years experience programming in high-level languages, C, and C++

We're also hiring for Development and Testing positions, both in Santa Barbara and worldwide: http://www.ghs.com/jobs.html

To apply please email your resume to jobs@ghs.com.

* Active contributors to open source: Fluentd, MessagePack, DigDag, etc.

* Great salaries and benefits

* We invest in our people: most successful managers have been promoted from within

That won't matter unless Flynn was directed to do something illegal. 'Having conversations with the Russians,' is not illegal.

People should remember, Nixon wasn't brought down by Watergate. He was brought down by an attempt to cover it up. The way Trump can get impeached, is if he lies. Ordering Flynn to talk to the Russians (eg to see what they had on Clinton or similar), won't get Trump in anything even remotely close to enough trouble to get him impeached.
If not for Revolution, perhaps Russia would resemble more of 300 mln strong Sweden than of 140 mln strong Honduras as of today.
