You really only have two choices. There are a lot of things that I didn’t like about the Democratic platform and especially Clinton, but I held my nose and voted for her. It just depends on what your biggest issues are.
I am fascinated by renewable energies, and I too hate the idea of mining more in order to manage our energy transition.

However the massive difference with drilling for petrol is that petrol has a drill and burn lifecycle. You drill once, then burn it, then you need to drill more. Cobalt for instance will be put in batteries that will be charged and discharged numerous time before reaching their end of life. Then the car battery will be re-used in grid-scale battery storage, then finally recycled to be put in a car again (or phone or whatever else)

So although I dislike the idea of more mining, I can see how the situation switches from use once to use thousands of times and how it's a slight improvement on our current situation (climate change aside).

> 1. Does the project on the right stage for searching for investments?

Don't worry about investment - focus on getting your first paying customer. Build a business first, then get investment when you need it to grow. You'll also have more leverage in the terms if you have a viable business when talking with investors.
TIL: How about this instead, with pattern matching on function arguments.

I didn’t know you could do that. I might need to go back and see what I can simplify with that trick.

Intellectually honest 'conservatives' who identify as republicans who aren't actively trying to reform their party and are aligning with the current anti LEGAL immigration, anti gay, white-christian identity politics of the modern GOP shouldn't be shocked that they feel alienated in a place that is largely enlightened on all these things decades ago. Even if you put the social issues asside, the GOP sure loves their deficits and big government. That's been true since the W years. What the hell is conservatism now?
During one of my first coding interviews I used a goto. I simply forgot about the existence of loops I was so nervous, but for some reason the archivist in the back of my brain responsible for preserving my childhood Apple ][ BASIC knowledge stepped up and said "I got this."
It's not a big leap, and no amount of faux-innocent obtuseness will make it be one.

Also I am unaware of any culture in which "Julia" is in common usage as a masculine personal name. Being a modern Romance-language version of a Latin-derived name, the "a" ending gives it away quite plainly ("Julio" would be the masculine, or "Julius" in the original).
It's basically fixed-point arithmetic[0] applied to base tau. So any integer value x that your computer is actually storing is conceptually the value 2 * pi * x / 65536.

The author I'm pretty sure never even mentioned trust, which is a big reason I stick to Amazon. You never know who on earth or what hackneyed system is on the other end of a credit card form. I like the fact that Amazon lets me order with my voice, and I like the fact that Amazon lets me order from any number of millions of merchants without fear of my credit card getting stolen (or at least, less fear than usual). The few times I checkout at other random websites I always use PayPal to avoid giving away valuable info.
> I worked at a startup where every feature improvement was shouted down as a waste of opportunity cost.

I'm curious - what were the devs doing with their time, if feature improvements were constantly being vetoed? Were they being kept busy with other tasks which you consider lower-priority, or were they just sitting idle?
>This might sounds too low-tech (and can't be patented), but simple nasal irrigation with a lukewarm isotonic saline solution works pretty well for me in this department

In terms of building habits and routines, I think the trouble with nasal irrigation is that it takes too much work to prep the water. I do it during allergy season, but only because my hay fever is bad enough that the relief is a big help. If you want people to make a habit out of it in the absence of having their sinuses assaulted by trees, it would be good if there was a way to have water for your neti pot as easily available as toothpaste is.

You'd need a gizmo that can quickly and easily take an adequate quantity of water, sanitize it, bring it to temperature, and add the appropriate quantity of salt to make it isotonic without too much effort on the part of the user.
> The number of men who worked as occupational cleaners was also small, and their exposure to cleaning agents was likely different from that of women working as cleaning professionals.

I don't understand this. How being a male working as cleaning professional will get a different exposure to cleaning agents? It's the same job, with the same chemicals.

A family member working in the construction business told me that it was also the case for construction worker, they were dying much younger than the average, because of exposure to airborn particles from paint, concrete, asbestos, dust, wood and other various chemicals.

One, it's your thread. So, it's fine if you post the link. Getting feedback is important.

Second, get some Linkedin/Facebook/Google ads running. Get some more people to your site. IMO, one of the biggest problems is having a small audience for feedback. If your conversion rate is say 1% then you barely have 1 user. So, go big or go home.

Third, I believe there will be tools out there to help with other stuff like c-corp etc.

But does Clojure/C really makes you more productive than Python/Javascript/C? which I guess is the point the GP was referring to, although, you mentioned it makes you happy (which is a good of enough reason as any).

Don't get me wrong, I think learning Clojure is helpful for lots of developers, even if they won't use it for work/side projects, and I think that's exactly what happens in the Clojure ecosystem and the reason for so many libs being half finished and abandoned, devs learn Clojure, grab all the ideas and concepts, scratch an itch but ultimate terminate going back to their mainstream langs.

Yea, a proper technical interview needs have more breadth to mean anything. This question is pretty dang close to esoteric language features trivia. Which would have flustered me when I was young, but now just makes me angry and I'd probably (want to) launch a dry-erase marker at your head.
Thanks, this was a good read.
On the contrary, it should add to our motivation. It’s just usually most productive to target outrage as accurately as possible. Not just because it’s fair, but because outrage is a scarce resource. To fight institutional injustice requires wasting as little energy as possible on the wrong targets.
I cannot speak for anyone else, but what you described is very similar to what I went through for most of my life.

It felt like there would be periods where I would be so adverse to any kind of work, and look for any possible reason to push it off or do nothing, and spend the rest of the day on Reddit or HN.

Eventually I started seeing a psychiatrist, and he diagnosed me as manic depressive, with possibly a case of ADD.

He prescribed me a combination of Lamictal and Wellbutrin (the latter of which is also prescribed occasionally for ADD), and I can honestly say that it has changed my life.

I used to think that I was just lazy, and maybe I was, but I am certainly not anymore. My job has been a lot easier to do, I don't look for excuses to spend all day on Reddit, and my life has simply been better.

I think on about 30% of my blog posts that end up on the hacker news front page:

* someone refers to me as "he"

* someone else corrects them to "she"

* an extended argument ensues about whether "he" is a gender neutral pronoun, whether "they" is a gender neutral pronoun, whether it matters if you refer to a woman as "he" or not, whether the original author cares whether they're referred to as "he" or "she", and on and on and on :)

From my perspective (since I've seen this argument so many times) this argument is very repetitive and doesn't add a lot of value to the HN comments -- I think it would be much better if people just accepted being corrected with "it's she" and then go back to discussing the actual contents of the article in an interesting way (in this case, a lot of people are sharing their experiences with working remotely and it's been really interesting to see what everyone's different experiences are!)

so if you care about this topic I would humbly suggest that you don't comment further about pronouns and instead maybe share your experiences with working remotely! =)
Some of this could be improved with better C compilers, right? Yes, there's less rich language metadata for the compiler to use than in Rust. And yes, both Clang and GCC have come a long way in warning diagnostics in the last five years as part of renewed competition. But there's still room to grow.
So bitter! Should have stayed in school.
This does suck, but you can actually use From: aliases if you set them up first in the Gmail interface. You also have to enable two factor auth. Hard to be too mad about spam fighting measures.
And even then it will warn in many situations. Unsafe does not suddenly make everything okay, it only allows 3 specific things that are otherwise not allowed.
> Take that thinking to an extreme and you're barely able to reason rigorously about C code at all.

No reason to take things to the extreme. Is the code

int i = 32767;
int n = i + i;

well-defined? It is implementation-defined whether it is undefined [0], since that depends on the implementation's size for int.

You are barely able to reason rigorously about C code without considering some concrete real-world implementation's behavior. (I agree that the uintptr_t thing would merit an optional warning; maybe there is one.)

[0] Language lawyers might disagree with this statement and just call it undefined. But if anything, that's even less useful.
I tried to do a small project using Rust and SDL2 and gave up due to having to deal with lifetimes on textures.

Is that what I was missing? could I have done that and not had to deal with lifetimes?
First of all, congratulations to you and your team on coming this far.

1. No. Investors will want to see product market fit, size of opportunity, growth potential. Without true and paying customers (people you don't know), this is too hard to claim, so even most angel investors will consider the current state too early.

2. An angel investor would be able to assist you with company registration, however you can also do it yourself through an agency. I would recommend pricing this out (both establishment and annual ongoing fees and charges) so you have an idea of what you're getting in to financially before taking the plunge. This will be part of your first financial forecast, which is going to be maintained going forward.

3. Accelerators are fronts for investment. They also want high growth potential businesses. Unless you can justify this, it may be hard to get accepted. Also, they usually demand full time commitment for the whole team in a certain physical location (ie. whole team has to move cities) and some traction with an MVP at a minimum. Unless you and your team are all willing to quit your jobs, they may not be right for you. However, they may provide the dangling carrot that maintains team motivation and gets you all to commit full time. Only you will know if it's right for your team. Frankly, it's a large risk. You would probably do well to maintain your income and operate the business part time initially.

4. Decide on ownership and investment structure. Commit to paying the C-Corp and related accounting/filing fees. Get it done through an agency. Try to sell the tool and get some real market validation.

5. You don't need articles. You need sales.

In short: Register a company, listen to your real or potential customers, get some sales.
I first read that as thermite and I asked myself how does it work with wood buildings. (even if, as per this thread, wood is better regarding heat)
Yes that's the damn problem with C. You can the best programmer on the entire planet and then suddenly your skills become completely worthless because you have to work on broken code that you didn't write.

Of course people will write broken code in Java, safe Rust, Javascript. Fortunately the consequence of broken code in these languages is restricted to the application with the broken code. Broken C code threatens your entire computer.
> Also I am unaware of any culture in which "Julia" is in common usage as a masculine personal name.

However, it is very common to use "he" in a gender neutral way. So common, in fact, that the modern dictionary includes gender neutral definitions for the word. If we cannot make assumptions about the usage of common words defined by the dictionary, how can we begin to do the same for names of people? Julia, even if always assigned to females, may simply be a name given at birth that does not represent this person's current gender.
> Part of the reason for this is perhaps the nature of my work. I'm a freelancer and have been one since I graduated from college.

I think it's more than just part. It sounds that it could be the biggest problem. Have you tried working for a regular company? That way you wouldn't have to set project deadlines on ypur own and there would be a bigger driver/motivation/goals than what you have to build on your own. Also, there will be other people working towards that with you.
Hmm... I literally just created an AWS bucket that magically creates (i.e. lambda) corresponding .json files for any .xlsx file that gets put there.

I may have used Git if I knew this existed. For now our requirement was that the file be maintained in an Excel format, but this data needs to be consumed by different scripts written in different languages hence the automatic .json conversion.
If you can't even host a secure website, I'm sure your service is seriously lacking in many, many, many ways.
We use JWT because the user data is already stored upront (w/out needing to check a database) and it’s a well defined storage mechanism. With Vault we check only the token ID not the full token, so it’s not a heavyweight select. On the other hand we have 3d party (used internally) systems using the same mechanism (e.g. Drone).

I second this. Struggled with exact same thing. The idea of having ADHD had never occurred to me until I found myself rapidly approaching 30, struggling to complete college coursework, my 3rd go at higher education. I wanted so badly to succeed but just couldn't cross the threshold and do what needed to be done. It wasn't until I googled something like 'Why can't I get work done?' that I came to the realization I may have ADHD (which was later confirmed with a proper diagnosis).

Medication was not a silver-bullet, but medication + the kinds of routines you've developed (habit tracking etc) was. Also check out r/adhd on reddit. Super helpful people in that sub, and tons of anecdotes from people struggling with the same issues.
You don’t use the value directly. Instead, divide the circle up so that there are 65535 steps around the unit circle between [0, 2*pi) and use these units instead of degrees or radians. This makes integer overflow and wrapping around the circle correspond: going a quarter way around the circle five times, adds up to 90 degrees, rather than 450.

It’s clear in my opinion that you don’t like what you do. If you were gratified and enjoyed it you would not have these opinions. I recommend you look into Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. And determine why you chose this path. Determine if it is indeed gratification that is lacking or something else.

It seems to me you may have never really hit rock bottom and known what it’s like to lack basic requirements.

This seems to me like an existential problem - you find world of Warcraft fun and passable but not Your work. Ask yourself why - not how to fix it. When you know why the action will be clear.
I've used HN to hire 4 engineers (mostly junior or mid-level) at three different companies (one startup, two growth-phase) in two different states (Maine and Pennsylvania).
this is the best comment so far.
This discussion might be more productive if you laid out what you believe the OSM API being discussed already does and what you think it should do in addition to that.

And then you could lay out why those things should be done centrally rather than on separate servers. For example, there is a sophisticated data query api https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API that keeps up with edits within a minute or two but is free to lay out the backing database in a way that is optimized for queries and people can run their own instance and so on.

> If `debug_assertions` are enabled, then overflow must panic

It is very risky to have different behavior on such things in test and production.
I think we agree that there is everyday value to recognizing and rewarding good choices on an individual level. But if we're talking about how society is structured, and you think that people who make poor choices deserve a systemically-accepted low quality of life, then we disagree.

If someone makes poor choices, they aren't employable, etc. I'm fine with that. But if the reason they make those choices comes down to lack of education, poor parenting, or just a crappy draw from the genetic lottery, I don't think a society that blames people for that is a healthy society in the long term.

It's an individual vs. societal perspective, or maybe daily vs. long term issue. It might feel like cognitive dissonance, but your behavior to individuals can be different from the policies for which you advocate.
It reads like an advertisement.
I wonder why people are having such a hard time taking this study at face value, given the plain description from the researcher. I'm not saying this is a universal effect, but several comments are doubting that it ever happened.

Yes. Its predecessor is still a port in progress to x86 instead of running on it due to its less portable design. That was a real improvement by NT team.
That's true, and for languages even more dense the limits might be lower but it's 'order of magnitude' correct in all cases.

"...it typically takes a lot less money to get women to say they are satisfied with their work than it does to get men to say it."

"Women were more likely to tell PayScale that say they find their jobs “very meaningful” than men were, with 35 percent of women and 27 percent of men describing their jobs this way."

So women have more freedom to find meaningful jobs. Men less so.
