If this were the case, I would expect to see a great many people who have enough money already such that they don't need to work anymore doing just that.

But that seems to be quite an unusual case. Certainly nothing like 90%. What I see around me appears to contradict the hypothesis. Not just "rich" people, either. In the UK, a few hundred thousand pounds in total would (going over the last couple of decades of returns on pretty dull investments, although over just the last decade significantly less would do the job too) pay rent and bills forever if all you didn't engage in expensive hobbies, and a lot of people have that kind of wealth but are still working jobs.
Well, skip the anxiety, because this is good advice :)
> To be fair though, transforming computing can take many months even in the modern world.

I'm can't think of anything that has transformed computing within months out of nowhere. Usually decades of research and trial-and-error happen before everything falls into place and a new way to do things becomes 'obvious' within a short time. But you cannot ignore the decades of work that went into it, even if it isn't visible from the outside. VR is no exception, it's the 3rd decade (or more?) of serious VR research, and I guess it takes a few more decades until everything falls into place and VR becomes 'obvious' (or more likely, disappear from the public for another 20 years until the next hype cycle). Still, what happens right now is very important work for the coming generations.

Does this build create wine utilities on windows?
Yes! I have!

With one caveat, though. If you approach it with the mindset that you're out to educate other voters, you're not going to succeed. What you can do is have actual conversations with them. Sometimes those have results.

When one person sets out to educate another, there's a presumption of power, position, and knowledge. Unless the person to be educated has set out specifically to be educated, this is almost certainly going to rub them the wrong way. Instead of being educated on the subject you'd like, you'll educate them that advocates on a given subject are arrogant lecturing asses.
Prejudice and intolerance is still my problem, because it's not limited to the south. If it was, we wouldn't have the embarrassment that is the current administration announcing a new "Conscience and Religious Freedom Division" to defend healthcare workers that object to having to do things like provide birth control, assist in sex change operations, care for HIV/AIDS patients, and will potentially even deny emergency care to LGBT people or other minorities that they claim they are obligated not to help due to their religious beliefs.

But the problems of the south go even deeper than just prejudice against minority groups. Look at which states have increased the minimum wage, and which states expanded medicaid coverage. Look which states have taken the lead on requiring some amount of paid sick leave (only 7 states and DC so far, but at least it's starting). Southern states are among those that also strongly resist bail and sentencing reform, legalizing pot, and other initiatives to reduce inequality.

If you think that you can make a difference in Texas by staying there, I think that's great, and I encourage you to do so. You're allowed to love where you live, even if you have to admit that it's not perfect. For me, though, Raleigh didn't have anything to tie me to the place and make me want to use my energy trying to change things there.
Not only that, but the author also ignores that the outcry is not against ousting confirmed harassers, but the idea that just an allegation of it can be enough to kill your carreer.

The reasons this sort of thing happens are the reasons humans organize themselves into cities at all. Turning off the growth spigot while maintaining everything else in working order isn't a lever that policymakers have.

What they do have are ways of dealing with population growth that lead to drastically less displacement.

Sure, no out-of-towner needs to live in Seattle specifically. New entrants to the workforce do need to live in a city with job growth in their industries, and all of those (for software development) are having this conversation. Could change if remote work becomes more available.

The problem is less about openness itself and more about quality of auditing. Open isn't a magic bullet. As I understand, these latest CPU vulnerabilities were in the spec themselves. You could've found them by reading the manual. See what good that did us.

But I posit that open projects do better with audits than closed because they are more likely to have open audits as well, and an open audit is harder to ignore or sweep under the rug if it's inconvenient to business.
Could someone tell me why everybody wants to fight against headless browser ? If I want to use such a browser to browse your site, site that you voluntarily show to the public, then it's my problem, my code, not yours. If you want to protect your data so much, then maybe you shouldn't put them on the web first place. (yep, I present things in black and white, but you get the picture)

Four Trends that could help Digital Mortgage evolve in 2018
>• Get a life (that is, a life outside of work – build stuff in your garage, hike, play in a band, paint, whatever).

I notice a trend in being demeaning towards people not wanting to do anything besides computing/tech. Why is that acceptable? Is my life worse because I don't do "hiking" or some other stuff? I like spending my free time coding, and I hate hearing I should do "something better with my life".
What do you mean by 'hard to please'? The joke about the compiler being some beast you need to sacrifice a goat to seems to put the blame on the wrong end of the computer imo.

Unless what you are doing is not fit for what guarantees Rust gives you, the compiler should just be a crutch in case you missed a step.
Sure! If you need to efficiently implement that yourself, you can use OpenCL to implement the kernels on the CPU, or OpenCL & CUDA on the GPU (If that makes sense). Check out ClojureCUDA and ClojureCL.
Is this really so much of a thing as people make it out to be? I can't honestly see a lawsuit from shareholders going very far if its against a statement like Basecamp's of "we didn't apply for these grants/tax rebates because we felt it would be exploiting the system to our personal benefit".
Just a quick thought and maybe a long stretch, but maybe an AI neural network could make the link between the info in the brain and visualizing it.

If it has enough data of visual things, and people remembering them, the neural network might be able to learn to create the visuals by only using the data.

wow.
Of course not, but there was a time when most people got their news from sources that at the very least paid lip service to journalistic integrity.

VR gaming is the very definition of 'niche':

- VR only works well for some (fairly unpopular) gaming genres, like hardcore flight- and car-racing simulations

- it's expensive besides the headset you need a powerful gaming PC at a time when the majority of 'normal' people just use their mobile phone for some light gaming

- wearing a VR headset for more than 30 minutes becomes really uncomfortable

- the new sensation quickly wears off, same as motion controls, everyone is back to gamepad, or mouse+keyboard

- even though VR is available for mobile phones, it's not common to hang around in public with a VR headset on

Open Processors is a very bad idea. Look at what's happening to Android. The same thing will happen with CPU's. Every OEM will fork the open design and put all of their stupidity inside it in the name of features and security. Bugs like Spectre and Meltdown will become commonplace.

The entire time of kernel devs will be spent working around the various 'features' of the OEM designs. Then someone will come up with a JVM and docker for the CPU and lead to another round of madness.

There is no harm in having alternate architectures. But putting everything up on GitHub is a recipe for disaster.

There may actually be a technological fix for this. One can use [computational stylometry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylometry#Current_research) to analyse a blogger's (sorry, I mean journalist's) written output. The algo performs clustering, any articles not written by the author are shown up as outliers. Author attribution works because everybody uses function words differently from each other but fairly consistently over time. If an author has 150+ articles you'd definitely spot copy that came from another source I'd say!
Resin is definitely quite high up on my list of options, I've done some prototyping with their SaaS service as well, my only hesitation is that the pricing is pretty prohibitive for the sort of volumes we're looking at in the medium term.

Definitely going to do some digging into Yocto and Mender though.

Sure. College, which ends. After that, returning to your hometown is only possible if you're privileged enough to be born somewhere with a decent local economy, and even then, chances are you'll be moving from family-oriented suburbs to an "up-and-coming" urban neighborhood with other young adults... same set of issues. Or you got priced out of the Bay Area, or your hometown's economy finally shrank to below the level where it can sustain you, etc.

Not to get excessively meta-pedantic, but the constituent countries of the UK each run their own independent health services. The difference in wait times is currently quite a hot topic of discussion!

If anything, a comparison with England is probably more appropriate :)
It is a little bit unrelated, but I am really eager to know HN opinion about SystemC. What do you guys think about SystemC?
If you want to go down that road, probably you mean the United Kingdom.

And you may not be aware but “Each of the UK's health service systems operates independently, and is politically accountable to the relevant government: the Scottish Government; Welsh Government; Northern Ireland Executive; and the UK Government, responsible for England's NHS.”
Random links indeed. Did you even read them? The tone is largely neutral to critical.

"Today, Chavez’s desultory government spending and overall economic approach resembles the populism of the Argentine Juan Perón far more than any authentic socialist model. It is an incoherent mess, dependent on constant infusions of oil money, and is highly unlikely to lead to sustainable development for Venezuela. It is governed primarily by an age-old autocratic goal: the maintenance of personal power."

That's from the Atlantic article. Not exactly singing praises.

I'm not disputing that there must have been Western leftists enthusiastic about Chavez back around the turn of the millennium. I just couldn't think of anyone. Chomsky seems like a solid example though.

Amusingly, Donald Trump is currently the closest equivalent to Hugo Chavez in his rhetoric and political style. The populist strongman is a category of his own, not owned by the left nor the right.

A Link Between Pure Math and Physics
Price per MB is a questionable metric that I think the author made insufficient effort to justify. The PS3, for instance, sent game sizes skyrocketing in an effort to try to demonstrate the perks of blu-ray. A number of games included all audio localizations on each disc in lossless formats. That likely saved studios money since localized distribution could all come from the same production line, but it sent the $/megabyte way down which this author implies means studios are earning less. It's a nonsensical datum without some justification and that justification was not provided in this article.

I also think that that datum leads to questionable conclusions. For instance you're paying vastly more for AAA games today than you were in the past. The author is right that the upfront cost is certainly much lower, but we've changed from a model where you're paying for a fully fleshed out game to one where you pay for a stripped down product that is intended to be sold piecemeal. In many cases users are paying to unlock content that is literally already on the disc they purchased. That first $60 you pay is simply your "starter pack." And there are additional 'meta costs' as well. Instead of simply putting the game in and running it you're instead obligated to pay an annual fee to use your own internet connection and then exposed to various advertisements on your way to launching the game and games themselves increasingly even feature more advertisements on their launch screens. These advertisements, in effect, increase the cost to the player if we assume they are effective.

Why not use profit margins? Total revenue / (total development + total marketing)? In either case, it doesn't really matter. Games are like music in that they are self sustaining since people will continue develop them even absent a profit motive. This is even more true today thanks to platforms like Steam removing the necessity of publishers from the entire industry. Seeing the end of 'fee-to-pay' or AAA games would bother me no more than seeing the end of Justin Biebers.
I am not sure this is a good idea.

Nuclear reactor is an easy way out of a problem that has alternative solutions. Restriction on using nuclear power for previous missions did a lot of good in terms of researching and perfecting the alternatives (solar arrays).

Restricting the use of nuclear power does not prevent missions, it only adds to the cost of the mission, which is not really a technical problem.

Maybe launching one, fresh, yet inert reactor, is not a big issue. The issue starts when we fly a lot of them and they start falling back to Earth after some service time.

It is relatively easy to build safe reactors on Earth (if only everybody was interested in safety and not their own agenda). It is much more difficult when you are going to shoot the entire device into space and you can't have 1000:1 of shields and casings.

Honestly: yes. LibreOffice is quite a friendly place, and there's even a list of beginner bugs that help with getting your foot in the door. They like new developers.

It might take more than a few hours (e.g. you'll need to set up a dev environment - but the builds are quite robust nowadays unlike some projects), and the codebase is complicated - but contributing to LibreOffice was fun and helped me gain real world software experience. I'd only worked on small personal projects before LO.

You definitely won't cause harm, and there are devs who will try to help you get your patch submitted. (They even employ someone to help new contributors get up to speed and to help get their patches in.) As chris_wot said, get on irc and people will generally be able to help you get set up. (IRC presence tends to vary by time and day, jfyi.)

But there's more to happiness than housing prices. It could be the house they grew up in, invested a lot of personal work in to improve it, their friends and family may live in the vicinity, but they get stressed out or can't sleep because of the noise of aircraft taking off right over their house. If the airport is expanding, that runway might not have been there when they bought the house.

The tourism and extra revenue for other people does not help the people who suffer from the daily noise. The slight drop in house value isn't the problem, but the fact that they may have to move at all.

If your house has to be torn down to make place for a new runway, you hopefully get paid well over the market value for your house. But if your house can stay, but is suddenly right next to a runway, you may wish they'd bought your house, but airports usually don't reimburse those people the same way.

There's a good reason why airports have noise regulations. Unfortunately, it turns out those rules can be far too flexible. Around Schiphol, it turns out the measured noise doesn't count. They calculate how much noise you get, and if your experience is different, tough luck.
What Is Augmented Data Discovery?
Officially launchd and the Dock are now written in Swift (disclosed at WWDC 2017), so even though they aren't drivers or something, they are already a bit lower level than just apps.

Swift 4.0 got all the Unsafe* APIs stabilized, maybe they would be using it a bit more.

In any case, Apple also suffers an Objective-C vs Swift, just like Microsoft used to have C# (Longhorn, Singularity, Midori) vs C++.

Which means, even if it possible to use a certain language from technology point of view, many political wars have to be won as well.
1. Good point, that's what happens when Ubuntu decides to reinvent everything (upstart, Mir, Unity, ...) instead of using an existing solution.

2. What is your software? I'm not surprised about the RPM distros, which have always suffered from a lack of software in their repos, but with Debian have you tried filing an RFP (Request For Package) bug?
I was amazed by this too. Why focus on how one pronounces it rather than the mathematical properties of asymptotic behaviour (i.e., that one gradually approaches but never reaches something)?

> I suppose the thing I should actually do is route over an SSH SOCKS tunnel to some server I control, which would work fine.

This is what I do. The only danger with that over a regular VPN is anything not part of your browsers standard stream will not be sent over the proxy. This includes browser plugins as well. Thankfully Flash and Java are generally disabled by default, but it's still worth baring that limitation in mind.

Despite this, SSH SOCKS is still my preferred method as well.
This doesn't have much relevance for LO. Devs there are generally welcoming. You'll still get honest feedback but they generally want your code in the codebase, and want to help you get it in a shape to land it.
That's not really relevant to his point, though. I'm sure it's quicker to get a ROM dump of Super Mario by downloading it than by digging it out of Nintendo's archives or setting up their own cartridge ripper. That doesn't mean they couldn't or wouldn't have done one of those things otherwise.
