Right, but it sounds like you want things to be more predisgested for you than is typical for HN reader expectations, and stated in a way which sounds entitled.

That's no doubt why your comment was downvoted.

Tell me, what do you expect from "Go 1.10 Release Notes"? You'll notice that link it's even less informative than this link to "Julia v0.7.0 Release Notes".

For future reference, here's how to the information you wanted. First, go to the link, which you can see is to github. It uses the standard github layout. On the top is a hierarchical list of names showing "julia" / "NEWS.md". The "julia" is a hyperlink to the github project page.

Click on that and the top says "The Julia Language: A fresh approach to technical computing. https://julialang.org/". Lower down it says "Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic language for technical computing. The main homepage for Julia can be found at julialang.org." If that is not enough information for you, both URLs take you to the language page.

Figuring out what you wished for, from the information given, takes less time then writing your HN comment.

And much less time then it takes to pass on HN cultural norms to new accounts.
You could always consider a free service like Cloudflare which can sit in front of your site and serve the site via SSL to your customers. Yes, it's still unencrypted between CF and your site, however it would resolve the poor "insecure" UX.

As a bonus, CF also has functionality that can re-write http uri's to https.
I'm not sure this could be classified as a speech impediment.

But once in a while I will accidentally use the wrong word.
E.g. saying blue instead of red.

Or I might change my mind mid word on what to say, and just start saying that mid word, and gibberish comes out.
It's not a conscious thing, it just happens.

The only thing that bothers me, is that I swap out words. It is not always I notice, which could lead to misunderstandings that I won't be able to correct unless someone asks me to confirm what I meant.

Talking gibberish is not an issue, as I notice right away and will be able to repeat what I actually wanted to say.

I don't act differently because of it, and I do enjoy presenting
That point hasn’t been hit yet. Discouraging people from learning programming because you anticipate that point to come soon is unfortunate coming from a manager of programmers. Regardless of job opportunities, which I disagree with but is beside the point, being able to program increasingly allows people to create value and bring ideas to existence.
Sadly it's more of a 'wrong' requirement from the customer. Today's entreprise customers expect things to Just Work. They say 'just sell us a goddam appliance, we'll point a browser at it and we'll call it a day!'. I'm quoting real customers' documents here: 'it's should be as easy as Apple'. We've done it to ourselves.

> every person stupid enough to go to work with the flu is engaging in biological warfare

Well, you could say that.... But it's about as smart as engaging in a fight against micro-aggressions. If you fight for a society where the individual can't even handle minor stress factors, you fight for a society with little to no immune system, that is all but guaranteed to crumble.
I don't know how to put it nicer than this: do you think that was not implied?

Analysis of the Alexa Top 1M sites (Feb 2018)
Yeah, me. My company is publishing six papers this year and a large mover forward is the ability to read all the papers in our industry fee-free. Elbakyan's work moved us so dramatically that I instituted a no-fee publication policy; we will only publish in fee-free, open access, and open peer review journals - providing all data and supplementary material openly to everyone either through the portal's site (if supported) or a public repository.

EDIT: In my opinion Elbakyan should be considered one of the most important people of her generation. It is my belief that academia will see fit to write her out.

That becomes a tough one, doesn't it? I'd say that the use of it without tipping incurs a moral burden, as you're giving the employer money and not making it right with the person who (as is true of anyone in a tipped job) depends on you upholding your part of the social contract.

You aren't saving the world by tipping--but you're not making it a worse place, and that's not nothing. Similarly, by not using a service that does its employees dirty without making it right, you are pressuring them--if, admittedly, mildly--towards decent behavior. That assumes that you make it very clear why you're doing it, and you totally should, because communication is part of ethical consumerism. (For similar reasons, when Amazon, Uber, etc. recruiters reach out to me, I underline the way they treat their workforce as a major reason as to my disinterest. It's a data point, and only one, but it's what I can do.)

>>but authors do not have to pay to publish

My company has to pay to publish in our preferred journal of open access (PeerJ). I gladly pay for lifetime memberships for all of our authors, which is pittance and affords lifetime publication rights with no additional fees.

But we do pay. Most OA journals do have fee waivers and are very liberal with them, though.
Many OA journals have fee waivers.
Ask HN: How do you manage to go through so much of good content posted on HN?
A lot of good content is posted on HN. However, I am unable to read/watch most of it. I do use Pocket to store articles for future reading. But the list gets big too quickly and I find it overwhelming to finish all of it.

Any specific technique or tool you use to manage all this content?
Is that actually an option now? I can't seem to find it.
I'm not sure where you're getting this info, but it is wicked wrong.

Ever seen a carrier's radar hit a drone? And that's nothing compared to NEMP waveforms.
> Another thing I don't like about this "forced HTTPS" is that mandatory HTTPS makes it difficult to publish stuff to the web. You must either deploy your own Letsencrypt to run your website, or if it's too much of a hassle (which would be the case for most people, even developers), just run your website on a service provider that already has HTTPS.

> This means people will rather publish their blogs on sites like medium.com rather than running their own wordpress server, or even a ghost blog.

I think we'll just see an evolution of the tools available. For example, Ghost's CLI install already sets up letsencrypt for you along with auto-renew of certificates, anyone using that or the 1-click DigitalOcean droplet will get HTTPS with no extra setup difficulty compared to a non-HTTPS version.
The parent may not be able to dictate the browser compatibility, actually. Customers will use whatever they want, and if it don't works then they'll just 'whine' to the commercial next time he tries to sell them something. Do this too much and it's a recipe for disaster.
I'm partial to the O-ring explanation. Software engineering is uniquely multiplicative because it's possible for a software engineer to create software that does software engineering.

Chemical/electrical/mechanical engineers can't use their field to automate their field. Doctors and lawyers are almost exclusively service jobs, unlike the manufacturing nature of engineering.

Automation is a force multiplier, and software engineering benefits from being able to create automation, apply automation to others, as well as being able to apply automation to itself.

Hand wringing and pearl clutching.

If anyone were serious about this, they'd look into it, and probably decide that US laws that encourage larger and larger corporations, tying healthcare to a particular employer, no-compete agreements, and using "intellectual property" laws to grant ownership of ideas are almost certainly the problem.

Will any of those problems go away? Hell no. They make too much money right now, and grant too much pleasant power over employees right now.
The difference is that counties charge everybody but party central committees for voter data or extracts. (Or such was the case when I did voter data wrangling 15 years ago).

Total NIH budget is like $32B. Half of that goes to basic research and some goes to non-life sci research. Life sci VC funding in 2017 was $15B. Some of that goes to admin costs obviously but not nearly as much as NIH if you look at headcount at companies

Didn’t work well, because in this game you often need to press two keys simultaneously. In the normal touch typing position h and j share the index finger, so you can’t press them at the same time without leaving the normal position.

You don’t have this problem neither with WASD nor the inverse T-Shaped cursor keys because you can press all the useful two-key combinations conveniently with just three fingers (no thumb, no pinky needed). You can’t press up and down at once, but that doesn’t make sense anyway.

The EM gun looks like a great solution - portable, similar range to a firearm and you don't have to worry about hitting the target with a projectile. It's still a guy doing that who's not carrying a gun though.

The main problem is detection and tracking. Even if you can counter the drones, the distraction of keeping an eye out for them and communicating back to your anti-drone guy is something you just don't want to have to deal with in close combat. Bear in mind these things can pop up and execute an attack in just a minute or two, possibly in swarms. Ideally you want an automated solution so your door kickers can focus on the job at hand.
I frequently don't use Ruby-based migrations. I use datastores defined elsewhere and use Sequel as a convenient and easy interface for tasks against those datastores.

I was thinking about this today. The idea of a super-intelligent AI adversary draws my concern for only one reason.

The biggest threat to humans from AI is that machines will learn all about us from the very data we store about ourselves. Facebook, Google, amd countless other banks of data can form a patchwork quilt of facts, photos, friends and locations that characterize everything from our preferences and habits to our fears and motivations.

Similar technology like using a gun from a car [1], or putting a bomb in a rubbish bin, or mailing antrax, already exists and does cause occasional mass killings. The main the stopping it is humans usually don't want to do that. Even with drones, there will still be evidence and police hunting for who did it. It's not going to be anarchy.

>>The duty of companies in a capitalist system is simply to make money for their owners

Shit. I am an owner of a company that makes millions of dollars per year and that is not how I run my business.

Hmm. I must have missed the ownership memo.
IMHO, the title should be fixed to mention that it is only about developer compensation in the USA.

I am always surprised at the salaries in the USA. I have two bachelor degrees and two master degrees from two well established universities, and earn about 2k euro a month (before 20% tax deduction), which is considered fairly decent for a starter. Even then, many corporations outsource software development to Eastern-European countries.
Let's think about money for a minute. Money itself of course has no meaning. But we apply meaning to it. It essentially works as a proxy for the value we assign to labor and materials - both of which are finite in reality. So obviously you'd prefer drivers make more money, so they could live a better life. Well how much? I imagine you think a ballpark for a 'fair' wage would be somewhere around $15/ride. Now let's consider your person that relies on taxi type services for transportation. We'll say they go out and return to their house once a day. And every other day they also go in/out again for entertainment, essentials, and so on. For a 30 day month that's a total of 30 x 2 + (30/2) x 2 = 90 trips. And 90 x 15 = $1350. On a yearly basis that's 365.25 x 3 x 15 = $16,436.

Well that's a lot of money. Of course I expect you'd probably say that that's because the 'bourgeois' are holding back the 'proletariat.' Okay. Let's go full on social system economics. Let's just pretend the entire GDP in the US is spread completely evenly between each and every person. And that's quite unreasonable as our GDP would decrease dramatically under such a system, but for arguments sake I'll give you that. Okay, that's easy. That's the GDP/capita or $52k. The total value of all annual goods and services in the US produced works out to $52k/person/year. But we can't forget about taxes now. To sustain our social utopia we'd need quite a high tax rate. But again, I'm going to let you have that and we'll just maintain current taxes. So we're each taking home about $42k. I'm also going to pretend that state and other taxes don't exist.

Now look at your $15/ride. If somebody was going to depend on that, they'd end up spending nearly 40% of their entire income just getting around even with a perfectly fair share of all income generated nationwide! And I gave you several unreasonably optimistic assumptions that makes that number a real lowball. The point here is that even in what I assume is your idealized system, this would not be a sustainable industry. It's very easy to see things through the lens of a victim complex because of the apparent inequality of our society. But these optics are in large part caused by inconceivably large population numbers. Imagine you earned just $1 from each person on this Earth. You'd be the 65th richest person in the world! Far from a 1%er, you'd be a 0.000000001%er. Earn $12 and you'd be the single richest person alive. Even if we just consider the USA. Imagine you took every penny Bill Gates, currently the richest person in the world, is worth and equally distributed it to each and every person in the US. That'd be a total of $275. Maybe you would say well do that to them all! By the time you're down to the 100 richest person you're only getting $17/person, and again that's for the US population only.

O-ring sounds reasonable.

Also, consider what kinds of firms hire these professionals. For almost all professions, there are firms that do what the profession is called. There are accountancy firms that do specialist account. There are law firms that do specialist law. And there are software firms that make software ordinary firms don't make. But then there are also firms that happen to have a lawyer, and accountant, and a software developer. They might be some industry firm like a widget manufacturer. In these firms, the professional is not quite the most important resource. Sure, you need some, but you don't think of widget factory as requiring the top professionals. Often you'll hear the firm considered as a sort of lifestyle choice: less stressful than the law/accountancy/software house. And of course if you need specialist help you'll know which external firm to get it from.

That's not a traditional "EMP" attack, it's a brute-force assault with massive, expensive, and power-hungry microwave transmitting equipment that is never going to be feasible to deploy against drones.

It will be effective for maybe 50-100 yards. I can afford more drones than you can afford Aegis platforms.
That is what represents your identity and brand. The first thing anybody is going to ask you is about your website and social media presence.

I think that is the basic thing anybody can have.
I'm not tyhat familiar with Mac software, but last time I checked, Apple had some pretty stringent standards for UI design. And well, unless you went to some extreme lengths, your menus, textboxes and buttons would look consistent.

Now, just double-checked a few apps (Firefox, mIRC, Visual Studio) between Windows 7 and latest insider buld of Windows 10. They look exactly the same. Office? Looks the same, too. Can you reference some app that does look different between them?

Still not seeing any sinificanmt difference between Teams and Discord either. From left to right:
- Narrow column with icons
- Wider column with list of somethings
- Even wider colunm with another list
- Less wide column with more icons and text.

Seriously, if you swap icons between the two, would you be even able to tell the difference? Sure, some content in some of those colunms is different -- these are different apps, after all, but saying that one interface looks entrirely different seems to me to be an exaggeration. From a designers' POV maybe, colors re different, and icons are in slightly different locations. From a users view, they are basically identical. For that matter, Slack seems to look exactly the same, too. At least based on what they show on their site. Except, of course, that being an Electron app and not following even what little Windows has for UI standards, they have to start the description form saying that to find settings you need to go a Workspace menu. Which, of course, doesn't look like a menu to begin with.

Honestly, I do not see how this is an improvement. Cheaper for the manufacturer, sure.
I was trying out Instacart a few days ago and thinking whether I should purchase their Express program. This is what I realized:

- You pay them $150 a year.
- On every order, they add a 10% service fee that helps them keep the service running. This is optional, but you have to remove it every time.
- The delivery guy expects his tip.

I am wondering if this is cost-effective this way or not.

> Oh, and be careful of your messages in debug/trace statements

This is one of the easiest ways I have found to distinguish mature coders and immature coders (green, rookies, whatever): read their test data entry.

New coders write all kinds of cute things, little data entry stories (test1, test2, test3whyisnothingworking), and frequently put in jokes or witty things... Longbeards have all, at one point or another, had a customer/management see something inappropriate and know it's a bad idea. More importantly, they've worked on too many systems to spend time thinking up cute ways to manually test if their CRUD operations are working.
A common use case is a device serving a status report as a single simple, static, read-only (i.e. the backend has no intended ability to receive data) html file with limited or no markup. This can reasonably be expected to run for 30 years without an update - there's nothing to update, you have a fixed hardware system showing the same type of numbers to the user until it dies.

Serving this over http in a secure network would be reasonable.

Serving this over https would be reasonable if you can embed a certificate with an appropriate lifetime. Which you can't.
