I cancelled all my pledges over this, it's a huge breach of trust IMO. I set things up to authorize Patreon to charge me $X per month. They unilaterally decided to use that authorization to charge me $X + service fees per month going forward. They announced this by sending me an email that takes several minutes and multiple paragraphs for me to understand that the cost to continue my Patreon subscription would go up next month.

I don't give authorization for recurring charges to companies that unilaterally decide to foist price increases on me.
> If our holiday parties are boring because we've hired a masculine monoculture, then maybe the solution is to hire more diverse people the entire year.

Perhaps companies are hiring based on performance at work, rather than performance at parties?
I don't believe in final solutions anymore. We live in a time of great changes and that's what I like in JS most. However, I do believe in reliable framework-agnostic patterns which born as enthusiastic experiments and then grow into enterprise standards. HTML Components is a great idea, but JS Components is even better. Developing all in one place using one syntax is our future. JS is a great way to achieve that. If you ask me about Fela, I would say that it is the best for my practical purpose: syntax, customization, performance, ecosystem and what is more important - the vision of the author and core contributors. They do care about performance (and a lot of other popular solutions actually don't). I put a bet on Fela, but even if it will fail (I really hope it won't)...well...it won't be a problem to switch because CSS as JS Object will remain as one of the main patterns for years. Remember this comment ;)
Yeah. It also turns out that just having a Qt application running on a computer can tank network latency for all applications on the computer:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-40332

There is a workaround, but developers have to know about it first. And it's such an unexpected and weird behaviour that 99% of developers don't.

This was our fix (1 line of code), in case that helps anyone:

Once again, the problem is one-side contracts which should have no legal force. If we follow that principle, it may even mitigate the need for explicit antitrust and consumer protection rules.

I lost almost 80 lbs (and I'm only 5'5 on a good day) thanks to keto.

I'm not saying it's a miracle diet, in the end if you lose weight it's because you're consuming less calories.

What made keto work for me is that, because of it's very restrictive nature, I became acutely aware of everything I put in my mouth.

I could have only 20g of carbs max per day, so I started reading in detail all the nutritional sheets on every food I bought. Of course, I also stopped buying basically all processed food. Not because they where high on calories or because they were unhealthy, just because they had carbs.

It's been years since I went off keto, but I still read everything about the food I buy.
I did learned about loosely related to my job topics or on the news topics over lunch breaks and evenings. I am programmer, but I did read up on management, accounting, physics, art, biology, finance, children, history etc. I dont think any of that was silly.

For many people, the idea that they could do learn some programming was new and they were curios just as I was about the above. Pretty much any temporary hobby people tend to do is like that - something wakes up curiosity and ambition. Network effect is usually smaller, it is just one company or office doing the thing, but when it is in the news a lot of them gonna do it at the same time.

The part almost no one goes into is, so what's your diet now that you've reached the baseline you'd like to keep? Total calorie intake (estimated)? Any food or food groups you still avoid? meal timing? Is it a sustainable lifestyle change?

How much damage could a bad internal actor at Coinbase cause?
I'm trying to work out how much risk I'm willing to accept by using Coinbase. If one of their programmers intentionally wanted to become a bad actor (say for example they catch wind that they are going to be fired), could a Coinbase developer easily cause billions of dollars in damage by somehow transferring coins out of the client accounts?
A century ago, the same argument was made for teaching Latin in elementary school.
Do you think the additional money actually serves to offset in any way shape or form the persons suffering? If so what is the conversion factor between pain and money?

Do you think quantifying pain and suffering has a positive value even if its very hard to come up with a meaningful way to define suffering in terms of dollars?
IBM lets you poke around one of their quantum machines here for free:

If you look right now at both Bitfinex and GDAX/Coinbase, there is a $1000 discrepancy in price between the two. I know that these are separate markets, but they both represent bitcoin, and I wish I knew how to arbitrage between the two if a Bitcoin is a Bitcoin the world over.. My guess is that is exactly what Coinbase is doing: showing its exchange price, but executing sale orders on different exchanges.
I notice that it counts "Educuation" as non-STEM.

Confirms what I’ve known anecdotally.

I had a whole host of health problems before caloric restriction and cardio + weightlifting. High blood pressure, arthritis, and asthma all disappeared after an active lifestyle and CR.

I never took the Norvasc that was prescribed by my primary care doctor because my cardiologist told me I was too young to be taking any medications. Had an EKG and blood work and everything came back normal.
Without even clicking I guessed Grand Rapids would be close to the top of this list.

The job market here has been fantastic, there is a great metro life to be had, housing is decent, plus the country and small towns around it are easy to commute from. 20-25 minutes to a Great Lake, fantastic beaches, even better beer. Grand Rapids is a fantastic place to call home.
Nothing preventing them? How many companies will hire the arbitrator that is pro-consumer?

There are obvious incentives for the arbitrators to favour the people paying them - individuals are not going to be doing a lot of business with them, companies are.
> shorthand for a function with only a pattern as its body.

Only an expression as its body seems more like it.

Just to be clear, would you require the last function clause to be a catch-all/wildcard pattern? Or could you just define a function on 0 & 1? Separate question: would you want to be able to add a new clause for your function f below main? It's okay to want either outcome, I'm just curious. Third question: would you want/accept a delimiter between a function's clauses like ; or | ?

I like the idea. Especially if you can still refer to pattern-matched parameters by name, too.
>American Nazis were using it to organize the Charlottesville demonstration. That's not a form of brand identification you want.

The only "people" at fault here are journalists, putting Discord in the title of the article. They do it to put pressure on the service providers so they ban those people, but they will just go elsewhere. It's frankly stupid. The only side who's hurt with those articles is Discord, who don't deserve it.
Why not? Create an open standard (or use an existing one) to interface with other devices.

It's harder than a walled garden you control but very feasible.

Heck most software engineers could put together a smart lock and app to do this in a couple of months. Wouldn't be consumer ready by any means but this isn't some huge engineering challenge.

Figuring out how to market the product successfully is the harder part.

Never did I equate any of those things; please don't put words in my mouth. Bigotry is also bad, but in different ways. Systemic racism is in general worse, but that doesn't make bigotry ok or ignorable.
Yet somehow we don't see the same self-sorting phenomenon in other cultures. Russia, for instance. Maybe the one good thing communism accomplished was to create a culture in which everyone knows women can be technical. (Maybe that was part of the culture before -- I wouldn't know -- but the Soviets certainly encouraged it.)

Why are you basing your opinion of places you have never been on the nightly news? They have zero interest in giving you a balanced sense of a location. If your main goal is just to be surrounded by fellow liberals, then I guess just stay put and don't explore.

I really don't think lack of information is driving population. If you really want to move somewhere, visit it first and see if you like it. No one else can tell you if you will like it, or if the trade-offs you will inevitably have to make will be worth it. If you can't be bothered to do that, then your high rent and home prices probably don't bother you as much as you think they do.
Another way to frame this, which might invalidate/color some of the linked article's points, is to consider "coding literacy" within the context of how the world is moving, and how coding and programming-related concepts are becoming more commonplace and necessary in non-technical careers, and, indeed, in our everyday lives.

In the world these kids will grow up into, having this skillset will be as obvious as having the ability to write one's own documents (as opposed to creating documents via dictation and secretaries/typists), or create one's own presentations. And when being able to program (& I'm using that word loosely; i.e., not everyone is going to be a Haskell dev, but everyone _should_ be able to build "software") is as commonplace and widespread as those previously-technical skills, all kinds of new and amazing use cases will emerge (consider all the things people do with spreadsheets--not everyone is creating financial models...far from it--and the people using spreadsheets to make shopping lists, or organize a Little League roster, or track social media post engagement, are not "Excel Engineers").

You have a very biased view about what it's like to live in states like that. You're hearing the bad stuff, but on the ground most major cities in the US are fairly similar.

You casually throw out Virginia like it's some backwards callback to the confederacy, but Northern Virginia probably has as many progressives as any area in the country due to government jobs.

It's definitely subjective :-)
It's a complex phenomenon. There are various jurisdictions with their supply/demand for Bitcoin, affected by regulations, government (in)stability, the exchanges' ability to handle heavy volumes, etc. So Bitcoin's value doesn't diversify away from nation-specific risks---rather, it aggregates across the risks of all nations, which would tend to reduce the risk, but it doesn't exactly get away from it.

Presumably a Bitcoin in North Korea is worth little to most North Koreans because they have no means of accessing the Internet or leaving the country to redeem its value. Should Bitcoin transactions be banned in a given country, but citizens retain mobility, Bitcoins will keep some value in that jurisdiction because of the ability to drive to a neighboring country, buy/sell Bitcoins, and return. Of course this will be subject to limits on cash flows across borders.

Has anyone made a map showing Bitcoin prices across the globe?

I think you're misunderstanding: "i386" is just shorthand for "32-bit Intel". They're not specifically talking about the 80386 chip. The same problem exists when you consider newer 32-bit chip families in that ISA.
Science's data secrecy problem
I wasn't even aware of multi-row tabs because I was still using Chrome, which dynamically resizes the tabs until they just show the icon, which usually is sufficient to know which tab is what. Now, in Quantum the minimum tab size is HUGE in comparison, showing the first ~5 letters. Instead of resizing smaller, I have to use click the arrows left/right which change from light gray to white (barely noticeable) when tabs are hidden. I've been using Quantum daily since the release and I'm really fighting to not switch back to Chrome (and don't even get me started about the LastPass extension bugs/missing features).
Qt's file management seems extremely poor though. It's not even possible to set the last modified date/time on a file through Qt. :(
Is it though? a new truck is going to be reliable and under warranty. A farmer cannot afford for his equipment to break. The truck being broke means that he cannot get fuel trailer to the equipment. That means that the tractors spend 2 hours every day driving back and forth to the fuel tanks on the farm to refuel - time that is not spent in the field. The truck being broke for just 2 days can cost the farmer more money than the entire cost of a new truck. (if storm wipes out any crop not harvested)

Oooof Charlottesville didn’t stage a white supremacist rally. Charlottesville is an exceptionally progressive city. The white supremacists came here because Charlottesville is so progressive.

Not to swamp you with a lot of East Coast geography, but Virginia has two of the three airports for the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, and could perhaps count as "fly-outa" country instead of "flyover".

Perhaps the nightly news is not the best source of information? Flights are cheap enough that you could look at some of these places and form your own opinions.
No competent technical person should ever EVER keep bitcoins on an exchange wallet, Coinbase included. Bad actors are inevitable.
> My pet peeve on HN is people writing comments like they're gonna be peer reviewed.

I consider myself guilty of doing this, but that's because (most of the time) I actually proof-read my comments before posting them, and consider whether they provide a useful addition to the discussion. If one of my comments look like they're going to be peer-reviewed, it's because they're self-reviewed, and you don't get to see the long tail of comments that I typed out and then deleted because a) they didn't add anything useful to the discussion or b) I could not express my thoughts clearly enough.

I've been around long enough to see software development methodologies come and go. I worked for GE for a decade, and they tried to force Six Sigma on everyone. Devs put through training. Lean. KanBan. Single piece flow.

The thing that businesses don't want to hear is that software development is a skill game. You win by having better players. You cannot put blind process around every facet of it. I know you'd like to, so that you can then pay very little for unskilled labor. But the fact remains that you cannot, even today.

Wysiwig html editors and drag and drop UI builders for rapid application development were trending for a while in the 90's. Then everyone realized that giving these tools to monkeys resulted in a big pile of poo. So the trend reversed back to hand coding UI layouts using markup, separating business logic from display concerns, etc

I guess what I am trying to say is that if there is any hope in putting a lot of process rigor around software development, it will be enabled by tooling. Until then, skill and experience matter. And they aren't cheap.

Put another way, if the Cleveland Browns stole the New England Patriots playbook, they would still suck.
seems like the real untapped potential goldmine here is to carefully observe millions of workers, notice when they are working and why and when they are slacking off- and enforce penalties and rewards relative to their peak performance to motivate increased productivity. measure average key presses, response times, eye engagement, fidgeting and body motion, facial expressions. do you really need robots if you can train the human network to be more robot like? the 21st century assembly line is so delicious, think of the possibilities.

I would argue this angle is irrelevant.

It's not about whether it is difficult or not, it is more about what type of culture do such things foster and what values does it signal (referring to "SV roller skate models").
I trust example.com. The problem is they include Google ads which can do anything to track me the browser allows.

I can't speak to the parent's reasons, but I do know that Ohio and Michigan are rivals for a variety of reasons, one from the early indoctrination of their public universities (Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines) into the general populace, even those that never attend either. Those two states have an allegiance/pride instilled into their citizens early that most places don't (apart from maybe Texas and NYC). Some of my friends that I went to college with that grew up in Michigan actually rooted for the Wolverines to beat us haha.
This is not about making it easier to get deliveries. When an Amazon delivery doesn't work out, they refund you. This is about reducing Amazon's costs. Don't do it. As long as we all don't do it, Amazon will credit us when deliveries fail.
Assuming the attacker already knew the IP of every VM, and they were all running the same kernel with the same exploit, and they were all exposed to the internet, it would be similar...although you would have to repeat the steps 'N' times. Or, assuming you could somehow escalate your VM kernel exploit to a higher level hypervisor exploit and get to the top.

That's not usually the case, though.

With containers, you get the kernel exploit, and you're in, for the most part.
