Hey, great work! Just a heads up about licensing. JavaScript code fragments that you use inside the compiler to produce the final output are technically part of the source code, and thus the output is also GPLv3 licensed as a derived work.

That's a known GPL quirk, and other GPL-licensed compilers like GCC use a separate variant of GPL to avoid that collision.

You can see how GNU Bison does it: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bison.git/tree/src/parse-g... since they put fragments of Bison code to the final generate source file. That's exactly what Joy does to generate JavaScript, so you should put similar notice to the repository.

Also, LICENCE file is not there.
What was obvious to us in that class of 1974 at UNSW was that when we were allowed to power down the PDP at 5pm from the Dec OS running 3 terminals and insert the Unix's RK05, we could run 30 terminals doing the same stuff. We weren't put off by it crashing about every hour, only encouraged to fix it, but we all pretty much in my opinion were defensive about all the heavy criticism from the establishment and the lack of time to explain much.
Here's a good non-tldr link- I think your best bet is to go there for a few minutes. I don't agree with everything the eff does, but they are right on this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/11/lump-coal-internets-st...
There is a statement in that document that says that much of the standard library hasn’t been translated but isn’t most of the Go standard library written in Go? Why can’t Joy convert the standard library?

A favorite pet theory of mine: "That government is best which governs least."

Is it really so bad for the government to be more hands off?

That's so true. I helped a friend who is hosting his freaking school research symposium website on there. It's easy to set up and collaborate on there. Love that.
Absolutely agree. Apart from the silliness of banning people that are less criminal than cops, its scary to be exposed to those type of waves.

I never go through those scanners for a reason.

"Both former employees took out loans from family members to make the payments"

This isn't the point of the story, but it may be a good bubble-check for some to hear that the idea of having family members in a position to lend this kind of money is mind-boggling to this reader of working-class roots.

None of those are net neutrality, but all of those are things that are prevented by the presence of net neutrality.

Net neutrality is currently enforced because ISPs are regulated as "common carriers", meaning they can't intentionally prefer some traffic over other traffic. The vote on Thursday is to reverse this regulation.

If ISPs could prefer some traffic over others, they could do any of the things that you suggest, enabling censorship.
There are thoughtful reasons why people might disagree with policy views, yes. And, speaking as a conservative, I appreciate you trying to keep people from painting me with their broad brush.

But (again speaking as a conservative) there is something completely abnormal about this administration. It rode to power on conservative votes, but it isn't a conservative administration. It seems mostly to be knee-jerk ego-driven reflex reaction to each day's hot news, rather than coherent policy.

In fact, I fear this administration.

For those buying gold for apocalyptic/pre-apocalyptic situations, crypto makes no sense. If everything goes to hell, there'll be no usable Internet, so it'll be difficult to verify transactions in sufficient nodes. But a chunk of gold will still be a chunk of gold.

In a more probable scenario, strong regulation kills the crypto.

I believe either scenario is far from plausible, but the case for gold makes sense for people that do.

You say that, but you are in a minority. Most users just mindlessly click Allow.

Can't wait for CityFibre & Vodafone to get busy blowing cable everywhere and leaving OpenReach in the dust behind.

Coming from SF & Sonic's tremendous quest to run fibre in Sunset, the state of broadband in the UK is atrocious. There's 4 street cabs between my house and the exchange, which is 200 metres away, and none of them have fibre (BT are planning to build 2 more).
I would be curious to hear it as well (EDIT: specifically others' thoughts on Pai's plan). I understand net neutrality and am all for it, but I seem to remember a decent percentage of HN was against accomplishing it through reclassification before it was passed in 2015. I also don't see how going to the regulatory situation before reclassification is an Internet destroying disaster. The Internet seemed to get along just fine before 2015. I worry that maybe we are not focusing on the right thing and the true path to securing a free and open Internet is by increasing competition in the ISP space. Although that is a much harder battle since it must be fought on so many difference fronts in local and state government.
There's already a protocol for that[0], just almost nobody's using it. Which is a real shame, because with a cleaner UX and more adoption it could be a serious win.

This essay from Stratechery, and the accompanying podcast, I think sums up the way I feel about it and gets into how emotional people get over this topic [1]. I'm always going to be skeptical of whatever the ISPs are telling me, but I think Thompson's point here about how we don't know what things in the future won't exist if we mandate NN is worth at least considering, so I tend to agree that light-touch is probably a better approach.

Yes.
Flipping congress isn't something that is just going to happen spontaneously. The change will take work and coordination from many people to accomplish that goal.

So engaging today isn't just about fixing this issue in this moment (which I'd agree is unlikely), but it's also about finding others who believe as you do and maybe crossing paths with them as part of a community protest activity on and offline, and helping to create communication networks that do help flip control of congress (but I'd add also reinvigorate the voice of more regular people) in the future.
> I think it's healthy to just let vesting mean you get to take it with you, period, no catch.

This sounds great in concept but in practice acquiring the shares is the taxable event. So if a company just gives you shares, that's the taxable event. And since you get taxed on the delta between your strike price and the "fair market value" (even though there isn't one), it would happen on the company's schedule, not your own.

If you extended the exercise window for N years, that would mitigate most of it because you could wait to execute until it's liquid. Or not execute at all if it goes under.

* I've been through two IPOs in the last couple years.. good planning shielded me from having major tax liabilities.
I'm really not sure what you're asking. Could you possibly clarify? You are already working as a contract programmer, which is a freelance of sorts, and already travelling the world. Are you saying that you travel on your personal time, i.e. when you're not working, but that you would now prefer to travel further afield (more than France and Germany) specifically to work on projects? Or are you saying that you are already travelling for programming work (France and Germany being examples of this), but that you now wish to transition into a more management-consulting focused role instead of programming, i.e. more involved in the business process and strategy end of things and less on the technical side?
For the love of God, I cannot get ssh-add working with passphrase protected private keys. If there is no passphrase protection on the private key, then it works fine. I guess this is what beta means ;-)
Sure it does. Who's going to go because they constantly get stopped?
My apologies in advance, I can't answer your question directly, but your post gave me pause and I might not be the only such person with these reactions.

I agree with @contingencies, Java is the only technology you mention. Many recruiters will probably not read past that if that isn't what they are looking for. There is nothing wrong with it, but it does lock you into being a "contract programmer" vs a "freelance consultant".

Are you making the transition from contract programmer to freelance consultant? If so, then you need to reposition your personal branding / marketing.

In order to deliver value as a consultant you will need a lot of person-to-person interaction. So, as you point out, you need to be able to communicate fluently with the stakeholders and the many people who are working on any given project.

Whilst emails, chat and phone calls are very useful, a lot of essential and (IMHO) critical communications takes place in person. That is basically why teleconferencing hasn't supplanted business travel. So whilst you can continue to travel, you will probably need to be located with the client for at least part of the time. In many organisations working "remote" causes concerns to management. Travelling from project to project is another matter.

In my experience, the best consultant opportunities arise when working for a major international consulting firm. Once you have established a solid track record in that environment it is possible to go freelance. Employers, like recruiters and agencies, look at your track record for proof that you can successfully complete the given assignment. As a freelance consultant you are expected to hit the deck running.

Then there is that massive stumbling block ... being freelance means that you have to market and sell yourself. Having gotten an assignment you need to track your hours, bill and collect. It is for these reasons that I have found working for a consulting firm is less stressful. When you choose your field and company well, travel becomes a given rather than an option.

The Problem of Colour
I don't really think any one knows. I've since just figured all the FUD is just because half the nation doesn't like the current president. I've read a large part of the bill and nothing particularly stuck out as bad, though I admit I didn't read the bill that it is replacing.

I don't really think anything will change either way. Even though there are few ISPs to choose from, many areas have both a cable company and a telecom company to choose internet from and I think that is sufficient enough to keep either one from filtering or throttling. Case in point, I know plenty of people that will flip flop between spectrum and ATT every year simply because one has an internet plan that is $5 less than the other one for a year contract. Then rinse,wash, repeat on the next year.
Thanks for the information. I will check them out.
They may not have the money but they may have equity in their homes to borrow.

While the wavefunctions are vectors by virtue of being functions, it still remains to be seen that the set of "physically possible" wavefunctions is also a vector space. For example, if the physics were such that we were equating the local kinetic energy of a string to, I don't know, it's position or something, we would end up with an equation looking like (D_t f(x,t))^2 - f(x,t) = 0. It still can be written as an operator (not all operators are linear), but the addition thing wouldn't work anymore. It's a remarkable pattern in physics that those squared terms tend not to appear in reality.
I think it's a fundamental strategy of Russia to try to do that to us. I think they're being fairly effective, too.

Note well: I am not saying that this is all Russia's fault. But I think that there is evidence that they're trying to do exactly this to us.
That successor ought to be Fossil, by all rights. What keeps me from using Fossil is its opinionated UI.

Lots of people hate git's UI, but it let's you do all sorts of workflows. You can rebase a lot, or merge a lot, or both. With Fossil you're pretty much stuck with a merge workflow.

What makes Fossil superior to all other VCSes is that internally it is a Merkle hash tree organized relationally, with an internal SQL interface. This makes a) development of tools much easier than for any other VCS, b) much easier to write new kinds of queries and make them perform well.

Perhaps some other VCS will come along that will do what Fossil does, but with a less opinionated UI.

I understand why Fossil is opinionated: it's not meant to be a VCS to take over the world, but instead just a VCS for SQLite3 and related projects. As such its developers don't really care for any functionality that they themselves don't care for, and thus my need for rebasing, and a staging area / index, is as nothing to them. I can't blame them, really, but it would be truly fantastic if we could support rebase workflows with Fossil.

Another thing I don't like about Fossil is its approach to repo sync. I like that with git I can push/fetch individual branches/tags, some of them, or all of them. With Fossil you don't get much choice, as it's all public branches or nothing.

Power users (and I'm not saying here that Fossil's aren't) need more UI power. To appeal more widely, a VCS as to support more power users.

My understanding is that the original goals in the infancy, much like the rest of the internet at the time, explicitly wanted to avoid ads in favor of prioritizing user experience. Obviously the timeline shifted away from this but most of the internet moved to that. That being said, the psychological impact even without the ads is damaging enough without any sort of intention to encourage self control.

All of those things are possible consequences of repealing net neutrality.

Simply net neutrality is your ISP ignoring the contents of your packets and simply routing them to their intended destination.

Repealing net neutrality would allow ISPs to more interesting traffic shaping based on the contents of the packets, e.g. allow unlimited data caps if the user pays for the ISP for unlimited netflix.

The pros for net neutrality are that the ISPs have historically done all of the practices that you mention. And actively practice them in countries like Portugal which have no net neutrality.

The con is that some sites are much heavier bandwidth than others, and do represent a much higher cost to the ISPs. For instance I've read that netflix takes more than 50% of North American bandwidth during peak hours. Repealing net neutrality would allow ISPs to have more flexible pricing models that in theory could allow the consumer cheaper broadband by choosing different traffic shaping options. In my opinion, this is unrealistic because ISPs are a natural monopoly in most places and thus the incentive is to skew pricing for what costs their routing infrastructure the least rather than be competitive with other ISPs.
Full stack has also a widely different meaning depending on who you ask in HN. Most people here may think the stack goes from the app server to the frontend. The stack is much, much more than that. So most people use it wrong.

No one cares. It's not that important. Context is everything. Crypto is well understood in this context to be cryptocurrency.

Ah, you want contrarian! You've come to the right place.

As a paying customer, I'd love the ability for streaming sites not to impact my bandwidth quota. I get 1TB a month. That's it. I've run over that limit once, and you can guess where 90% of it went.

This is especially true on mobile, where the bandwidth cap is literally 100x lower. 10GB is not a lot, and you can burn it on one long train ride.

It's absurd that we have to deal with caps, but... The world has accepted them. So if they're here to stay, why not classify streaming sites into a different mental category? They're bandwidth hogs.

I'd rather keep NN in place, but that's one flipside.
> I've since just figured all the FUD is just because half the nation doesn't like the current president.

Note that this "battle" started way before Mr. Trump became President.
And universal acceptance, valuation and infrastructure support. Thats a big exception.
You are being disingenuous at best, because Ajit Pai certainly has a principled argument against the FCC inventing Net Neutrality. You may disagree, but you are just making ad hominem attacks about corruption. I think this interview with Hugh Hewitt and Ajit Pai sums up his position clearly. TLDR: The FCC doesn't have teh authority to regulate the Internet, Congress does. If you want net neutrality, pass a law.

HH: Now I want to geek out with a fellow lawyer. Years ago, Dick Wiley tried to get me to become a coms lawyer, and I didn’t choose that path, and I’m glad about that. You went down that road, but I want to talk to you more broadly about the Chevron deference issue that came up with Justice Gorsuch in his confirmation hearings. The Congress has never passed anything about the internet. There is no predicate for you guys to regulate. And to me, that’s the beginning and the end. And the idea that we would have Chevron deference towards rules that have no predicate in a legislative act is extraordinary to me, Chairman Pai. Do your Democratic colleagues not get that?

AP: Well, I think they tend to think that the law is more elastic, that even beyond Chevron, if there is a gap in the law, that you can simply essentially make it up, even though Congress didn’t necessarily have the internet in mind when it crafted Title II in 1933 which I think is a fair assumption. Nonetheless, they think the worst thing in the world would be, to be, to have a market that is simply unregulated. We have to find some way to fit this square peg of 2017 into the round hole of 1934 laws. And that’s part of the problem, I think, is that Chevron presumes that an expert agency is acting within the scope of its expertise. And I don’t think it was here. It was more of a political impulse to, as I said, solve a problem that doesn’t exist. And that is, that’s buttressed by the fact by President Obama’s instructions who was to adopt these regulations. We didn’t adopt them of our own free will in 2014 and 2015.

HH: Well, this takes me back to why I favor what you guys do on the AM/FM band, for example, is rooted in a real law that existed, that was passed after radio came into being, and when people understood that there would be problems. When I bring up Mexico stations, it’s, I’m asking the FCC to do what it was intended to do. But obviously, nothing has ever been passed about the internet in the way that you are empowered to regulate concentration between AM and FM bands, and we talk about the subcaps. You are not authorized by the original Constitutional Article I authority to weigh into the internet.

AP: That’s exactly right. We are an independent agency that is a creature of Congress, and thus, we can only exercise the authority that Congress has given us. And the argument I’ve consistently made is like look, I know that this is an area of great public interest, but the right way to channel that public debate is through Congress…
That article doesn't help anything. That is still a pure FUD based article. It offers no info and just speculates that without regulation, ISPs will just charge you more and have "fast lanes" and packaged plans.... I'm so sick of that argument. We've never seen anything like that in America before NN. Its a pure strawman argument.
Less government regulation makes sense in places that don't endanger people (e.g. food quality) and in fields with a lot of competition. A large number of people in the united states only have access to one ISP, or one fast ISP[1].

Your single ISP available to you could decide that you don't get to access your favorite site(s) without charging an additional fee to access them. They could refuse to offer any unknown sites, and just offer facebook, youtube, etc, each costing some number of dollars to use.

Net neutrality prevents this.

I'm sure the 8-core iMac Pro is a great computer but it's also a $5000 computer. I'm glad they're getting back to a modular Mac Pro, but people have been bailing for years and are continuing to bail while said computer doesn't exist yet. $5000 for a stopgap computer without an upgradable GPU just strikes me as insane.

There are external GPU docks, but if I'm paying $3000-$5000 for a computer I'd rather it just have 3-4 PCIe slots.
I used to work for a hedge fund. Now I'm in a different industry. While many individuals at the fund were interested in cryptocurrencies, they weren't going to put client money there. In order for pension funds to invest in cryptocurrencies there have to be very liquid securities that they can invest in. Futures don't count because almost no pension fund will use them directly (though pension funds do invest in hedge funds, which might have a futures strategy).
It's really quite simple.

Having strong "net neutrality" means that all bits are equal. It's like imagining that your ISP can't see where the bits go, they just come read the meter. In fact, the analogy to your electric bill is quite apt.

Imagine if your electric company billed you more for using your toaster than it did for using your refrigerator. Imagine if you had to pay to add devices to your electric plan, or if you had to pay extra to be able to use full power on your microwave. Because the electric company just "reads the meter" and treats all "bits" of electricity as equal, you are free to use your electricity as you choose. This means a guy in his garage can run a server and start a business and break into markets (that actually requires both "electricity neutrality" and "net neutrality."

The ramifications of having no net neutrality regulations range from simply throttling certain websites, like netflix, in order to squeeze them for more money, to charging to access certain web sites or selling "packages" of web sites you can access. If that sounds terrifying to you, you're not alone.
Well, of course, and tmux is another thing that makes PuTTY janky. I'd rather not dumb down my tmux layout to something that PuTTY's terminal emulator can understand, when Git Bash running its bundled ssh handles it just fine.
