> I'm not sure if it's just me, but I've been feeling a huge sense of urgency lately. The news just keeps coming that endemic corruption has finally eaten through the woodwork, and I feel like if I don't take the opportunity to learn while the learning is good, I'll be screwed in 2-5 years when the norms collapse.

I think you can blame that on social media, the mainstream media and the internet in general. There's definitely a 'sky is falling' panic on sites like Twitter and Reddit. Might be best to sometimes switch off your smartphone, avoid TV news and take it easy.

Understanding Elixir Macros
You know I think hacker news and reddit can be exasperating because only people who disagree reply.. so nobody ever seems to agree with you or understand you. Just wanted to stop in to let you know that I 100% agree this is a sad moment for a python fan or dev. As a general rust fan (although in this instant I'm a rust hater), this is a nice moment, but I 100% see how this sucks. Its as deflating as if a large rust project ditched rust, or Mozilla maybe said "actually rust was a waste of time lets go do Go or C++".. truly a sad moment. I'm with you on that!

For me, if I received a comment like the one I just wrote, I may feel slightly vindicated and ok about myself, for those of you who wonder why I wrote this comment and are not satisfied with the first sentence as explanation. I'm sure there'll be others who still think this was a stupid comment.. but hopefully someone out there understands where I'm coming from and sees the value in what I'm saying.
I think that trained athletes actually know better of their limits and when to not push for the maximum intensity than “regular office worker” in their corresponding field. The fatigue and risks of near future subpar performance are more concrete than with office work.

Also in any field, it ofcourse requires time, work and experience to become actually good enough to give yourself some slack.
I agree, when you see that kind of page, you auto close.

No, it did a lot to Chinese.

By exiting China, Chinese companies got the chance to actual grow and develop its talent pool. almost 10 years on, now 4 of the top 10 internet companies in the world are Chinese companies providing huge number of high paying highly skilled jobs to Chinese.

feel free to compare what Europe and Japan managed to get in the last decade in terms of Internet based economy.
The one doesn't preclude the other, though.
It's also highly contextual, i.e. behaviors we've evolved (for some reason or another) aren't necessarily useful in another context.

Ask HN: Dream setup for a “smart” home?
We have just closed on a new house which is a fixer upper that we plan to renovate from top to bottom. Since I am a programmer and technologist, my wife asked me to make suggestions for creating a "connected home" with modern security, climate control, etc.

I've spent some time looking at various home-related "smart" products. There's a lot out there and it's hard to know what to chose. Do we put in smart locks or do they represent a security risk? Should we go for smart glass or just some type of foil window covering? There are doubtless also amazing ideas for cool home tech that haven't even occurred to me.

What about you? If you could build your dream home to benefit from the latest in 2017 technology, which products would you choose? I'm interested in general ideas as well as specific brands.

Where does the 'wish to become an inventor' come from?
Just out of curiosity, which states do your developers put git in? I’ve worked with people that were learning git and the worst they’ve done is committing files with conflicts after a merge or putting in files that should be ignored. Oh, and one guy who force pushed to a repo and made the CI system refuse to pull the changes until I reset the repo there.
If it is mere contribution to the discussion, it is quite badly handled. If they did not intend to rebut me, they could have posted it as a top level comment instead of as a reply. If they wished to engage me without coming across as dismissive, the framing of it needs a lot of work.

Your comment also comes across as subtly dismissive and accusatory due to what you choose to comment on here. If you only wish to engage in discussion, why feel the need to criticize my reply? Why not say something constructive in response to my top level comment above?

Women, people of color, the poor and other disenfranchised groups face this sort of thing a great deal. It is rather maddening as it puts people in a no win situation. Such groups get no respect. When they complain of it, it is yet another thing to criticise them for.

It would be nice if the world stopped such insidious patterns.
I agree athletes train to maximise their performance on the games that matter.

I'm not sure what the equivalent is for the office worker.

That's exactly the point for Uber: they lost against a local company, because the government did everything it could do so that didi would win the battle.
The entire question is based on an invalid premise. Specifically this notion that there exists a vast sum of money without strings attached. Ever hear the expression, "he who pays the piper calls the tune?"

When something is "taken care of," that implies that someone else is doing the thinking and choosing. Look at where this leads:

What would you do if your meals were taken care of?

What would you do if your clothes were taken care of?

What would you do if your travel arrangements were taken care of?

What would you do if your hobbies were taken care of?

What would you do if your home were taken care of?

What would you do if your reading was taken care of?

What would you do if your romantic life was taken care of?

What would you do if your choice to have and/or raise children was taken care of?

What would you do if your whole life was taken care of?

This does not implement grouping "()" or alternatives "|". Hence, looping is only required on individual characters. This is a considerable simplification over full regexp.
I would probably go to art school.
Absolutely agree. Even when in the same reporting chain, I'd consider it quite bad form because it leaves the people in between with reduced visibility, and often they might have information that makes them prioritize differently or assign different people.

You can get away with some reduced formality when addressing people reporting in to a layer below you but on another team, but "get away with" being the operative part. You will not get away with bypassing managers - even if you manage to sneak it past them now, it'll make people look out for future attempts.

Sometimes if you know everyone well it may be ok to e-mail someone direct and cc their manager and address it to both and suggest the person you're sending it to would be a good person to carry out the work, but I'd take care to make it clear it's up to said manager unless I have very strong reasons to ask for a specific person and then too the manager should at least be informed..

I've been on both ends of this, and more than once told off my managers for bypassing me because of the disruption caused.
they could as well use FSB agents.

No offense, but I think you're misinterpreting a normal pattern of discussion on this site. jpatokal's comment was pretty clearly not trying to dismiss your experience as invalid but simply contributed a similar story.
I have a startup in a state which is very much a flyover: so much so that our license plates read "New Mexico, USA", to assure people that we are, in fact, part of the union.

I moved from LA to Santa Fe a year and a half ago and started a company. Was able to buy a 3 bedroom house, big yard, nice neighborhood, walking distance to restaurants, brewpubs, and a grocery store for ~$1500/month, and got a couple roommates which puts our monthly cost at $400. That's a lot of runway.

There is a lot of underutilized talent here since there aren't a lot of traditional jobs, and we have two national labs within an hour of us (Los Alamos and Sandia) that feed in a steady supply of engineers and scientists.

All of this has created a startup scene both here and in Albuquerque an hour away filled with companies doing really interesting things, none of which are trying to build the next great way to deliver more ads to people. And being able to get outside the city in 20 minutes to go hiking, skiing, etc. is pretty amazing after working through LA commutes.

There are things I miss about LA (the ocean!), but there are just so many advantages to having a startup here that now I couldn't see it any other way.
The tricky bit is when opportunity costs come in... "Pay me now" means sacrificing clear opportunities in the visible horizon, "pay me later" does the same thing at an less-controlled future point sacrificing presently unknown opportunities.

Personally I much prefer 'pay me now', because 9 times out of 10, IME, some form of technical debt underlies the reasoning about why a team can't do something. 'It always pays to take the pain up front', basically.
If somebody managed to hack into your servers deep enough to access private keys, you are f*cked anyway (they can as well delete/encrypt all data), so it's not an argument against user data encryption. Actually, storing private keys safely is easier than bulk data, because you can use dedicated hardware for that - HSM.
My experience is that the vast majority of software engineering jobs I see posted require full-time work.

What I think would be helpful is getting away from the notion that working 40 hours a week is somehow 'real work' and anything less is for students and housewives or single mothers who can't work more hours. That's a fact that's also reflected in less-than-proportionate pay which you get with may part-time jobs.

So yes, while it may not be illegal to work part time, it's just not a realistic option for many people.
They released a Rome game on their older engine that's now quite dated. It was pretty fun and I'd recommend it.

Because they're so moddable, a total conversion would be possible. I know the mechanics are similar but the game of thrones mod is breathtaking (I recommend this too)!

A good place to start would be the time when Rome was merely a small kingdom and take it from there. Lots of Mediterranean based conflict with other civilisations like the Greeks, Egyptians, Estruscans, Carthage, etc. The end result might not even be a Roman Empire but, however unlikely, a Gaulish empire or a Carthaginian empire. That sounds like a lot of fun.
Ooops, you're right of course. My mistake.

Which means that this CAN NOT BE USED TO ACCEPT REGULAR LANGUAGES. The language (a|b)*, any number of as or bs in any order, can not be descibed using that parser.

"considerable simplification" sounds like it's kinda regex. It's not even basic regular expressions/regular languages.

Edit:
The author reimplements code from https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spr09/cos333/be... which acknowledges that the implemented subset does not match all classes but they propose that the classes they can parse, are already useful. The author of the new article makes no such acknowledgement that their implementation just represents a subset of regular languages.

Of course, the regular languages themselves are also just a subset of regexp, which can match more languages due to constructs like references.

Compare where the two languages were, and look where we are now..

Lambdas? C# got them later.

Immutable constructor patterns? C# got them later.

A scripting environment? C# is trying.

Pattern matching? C# is trying (but since it's not exhaustive...).

No nulls by default? C# got it later (and less clearly).

It's really impressive how quickly those features have gained mindshare
and become 'must haves' despite initial resistance.

Fundamentally, though, the higher order programming features that F# inherits ML give it a maturity and flexibility that C# will just never encompass.

So far the generative models I've seen (VAEs, GANs) really just seem to morph between images.
Yeah, I recall the old one (though TBH I thought it was not particularly great). I think it'd be fun to have a modern spin on it for sure, I just don't know how you put together the actual game and make it work. I tried to spec one out not that long ago and getting bogged down by trying to adequately represent, if not everything, then a reasonable subset thereof. The winnowing down of models of government and religious aspects into a more manageable few after the Western Roman Empire "fell" helps a lot from a design point of view.

Could you give examples? What was better under Hu?
Not to ignore the point being illustrated, nor the tongue-in-cheek nature of it, but a symbol on the flag of Nazi Germany and a Latin phrase from the middle ages that some undesirables on the internet use don't really seem comparable in scale, and scale is the important thing here.

MAGA, for instance, was memetic, so if you use/repurpose it, there's a relatively unambiguous origin. Deus Vult in this context, not so much; it lacks the spread and saturation necessary. If the Swastika was only present on a small subset of Nazi paraphernalia, it wouldn't be nearly as taboo - it's till so toxic today because it was on everything and so readily associated.

So I don't really think that argument applies here.
This seems like a really encouraging initiative.

Somewhat tangentially, I also feel like the following ideas would help spread the Silicon Valley fortunes across the US better:

1.) Mainstream the idea of prefab housing built in flyover states/cities and transported to the coasts by truck/rail. It seems incredibly promising. Construction workers can work in a comfortable climate controlled indoor environment, work regular hours at a steady pace, no fighting traffic, live in cost appropriate areas. Basically car/airplane building techniques/uniformity applied to houses with built-in limits on how far it can be outsourced to foreign companies (at some point transportation costs start to outweigh outsourcing advantages).

2.) FAANG and WeWork should invest in always on, life-size, fiber-to-fiber Telepresence like video conferencing systems that connect dedicated hallways/open office/meeting spaces Silicon Valley to their corresponding spaces in remote offices instead of attempting to do Google Fiber residential installs to a handful of lucky chosen people. Always on means meetings start immediately without fumbling with the meeting configuration UI. Surreptitious hallway meetings can occur. This would actually work really well for offices in the same Pacific Timezone (i.e. Fresno, Gilroy, Bakersfield, Reno, Las Vegas).

It's easy to not consider ROI when one's talking about investment with non-negative gains strictly under your control. If you have money to spare, making your devices accessible will not reduce your profits, and there's a chance it'll increase them.

OTOH, pissing off China could mean huge losses for Apple, and that makes it a different story altogether.
> allows us to re-purpose the same code for PDFs, Word Docs, RTF

It doesn't seem like you've looked into this. The interesting data in PDFs and Office docs is all encoded, often multiple times. E.g. OOXML docs are ZIP files and store macros in an OLE container, where they're further encoded in streams.

You can kind of get away with not parsing PE files, although you're missing out in that case. For PDFs, Office docs, and most other non-binary, non-script types, though, you have no choice but to parse.

That's because over here once you reach retirement age (which has gone up from 65 to 67 or 68), you get a free pension from the government which is enough to last you the rest of your life - nowadays 20-30 years if you're lucky.

I mean think about it. If you're anything like me, you've spent the first 24 or so years of your life in school (paid for in a large part by the government), and the last 30 years in retirement. That gives you about 54 years of not working and 44 years of working - and that's about 5 days a week, with an extra 21-24 holidays + national holidays.

What I'm saying is, you work relatively little yet with the taxes you pay for that you live a very comfortable life. And the work isn't too bad either most of the time.

GPDR itself doesn't specify cookies use. "Cookie law" is defined in ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) which to be replaced by ePrivacy Regulation which is an addendum to GPDR. Actually, it's going to be much saner approach than the joke the current "cookie law" is:

"Simpler rules on cookies: the cookie provision, which has resulted in an overload of consent requests for internet users, will be streamlined. The new rule will be more user-friendly as browser settings will provide for an easy way to accept or refuse tracking cookies and other identifiers. The proposal also clarifies that no consent is needed for non-privacy intrusive cookies improving internet experience (e.g. to remember shopping cart history) or cookies used by a website to count the number of visitors."[0]

To answer your question "do we need to get consent from users before we can set any cookies?"

It depends: yes for tracking cookies, no for others. How to tell them apart is another question..

What's wrong with D? I quite liked it when I used it (for a relatively small project). It's not really a C++ replacement (GC), but as a high-level language the only problem I found was lack of a large library ecosytem - the language itself was quite pleasant to work with (more so than C++ and even Rust, which I also like).

> Professional athletes sleep A LOT, way more than a normal person.

To elaborate on this...

Lebron James and Roger Federer have both said they sleep 12 hours a day.

Usain Bolt, Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova and Steve Nash sleep up to 10 hours per day.

Most NBA players take naps every game day, sometimes for as long as 3 hours.

That said, not all pro athletes sleep a ton. Tiger Woods said he only sleeps 5 hours a night, for instance. But it seems pretty clear that most of them are sleeping way more than the average office drone.
