Too bad this ^^ was downvoted, because the big pharma has exactly the same incentives as the rest of the big corps at generating money. And they aren't 'nicer' than car or light bulbs companies.

You know, remember the tobacco industry, when they were claiming it made your teeth cleaner, your breath fresher and and that jazz? It's not that long ago.
I'd say they're much less radical than Trump. Does Trump make America a bad place for tech? I don't think he has impacted the SV ecosystem much for example.
Agreed mostly. But again the picture is more complicated than what a single sentence or two can convey.

Curiously, many of the lethargy, idleness and sense of pointlessness came through sufism. Sufism itself has also many roots (including Greek, and later Andalusian twists), and has a wide spectrum.
Ghazzali (the author of The Incoherence) himself was heavily affected by Sufi themes before he wrote 'the Incoherence'; but that book, a rationalist attack on some form of rationalism itself, has many valid points though.
Sounds a lot like Amsterdam to me. I always thought German speaking countries valued engineers more. But perhaps it's just the Swiss?
Electric thrusters have a low thrust to weight ratio but there's nothing stopping you, in theory, from just scaling up. The ISS only experiences a little drag so an electric drive trying to zero that out doesn't need a huge thrust. There's some interest in adapting VASIMR for ISS station keeping. It would work, in theory, to just put a large number of Hall effect thrusters on the back but the piping would be infeasible.

Nope.

I use the camera all the freaking time. As in, more than I use the phone function. For me, it is one of the more handy functions of the phone. I no longer keep a camera on me at all times.

GPS? Yeah, I kind of rely on it from time to time to find places I've never been before. In addition, I have a very poor sense of direction, made worse by moving to a northern latitude and from a fairly flat place to a mountainous one. I also use it when on vacation.

Things like rotation sensors I would rather have with me. I could probably live without some because I don't realize they are there or how they help.
Of the cities mentioned it's the only one I would actually consider to live. Perhaps Lisbon but I never visited it. Probably working for a local wage makes it a lot less romantic.
I think the point was that users implicitly want content from these labels based on the music they look for. Not that they're looking for music from those labels or are aware of which labels produce which music.
This is a clickbait article.

The current government, under the façade of "Hindu Nationalism" is doing zilch (at least until now, nothing noticeable) to fix the education system that has been messed by the previous administration.

No matter how much you tweak with history, its not going to be effective if education system is left in shambles.Adding to that is the ministry of education, that knows how to troll bait international and Indian media, which tends to follow a certain ideology (thats not 'Hindu Nationalist').

With that said, having read more and more content from independent authors (not funded by an institution, publicly) I believe Indian history needs a thorough redo.

Problem is not with misinformation, but with lack of adequate information. The 1% of history gets 99% focus, whereas an equally amazing 99% is not mentioned, either due to laziness or due to scheming history writers, wanting to support a particular ideology.

Whats worse, is an Indian kid learns more about 200 to 400 yr old architecture around the world, but zilch about a 1000yr old fort or a temple in his/her own state.

Whatever the effort of rewriting history, as claimed in this article is, it is not going to have any serious effect, other than a few progressive-liberal news outlets hyperventilating on a non-issue that will be forgotten when Trump/Putin/KimJongUn et al throw a new troll-bait.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. You also have to navigate through all sorts of laws related to crime, food regulations, civil rights and bazillion other categories and basically get a society so diverse to agree on deeply conflicting issues.

Easier said than done. In many cases it might involve undoing a lot privilege in many sections of society.

Are the devs/QA english speaking or just the managers ?!
It is literally the worst in Europe at the moment. It's a huge issue over there.
The problem is more that I am forced to sit in an office all day. As I said I already minimise social contact, so I don't have a Facebook account (never had one) and while I do have a Twitter account I don't use it to follow or interact with anyone I know personally, mainly following some companies.

Regardless, I am forced to interact with people in a social setting way too much. For example, my brother had his birthday 2 weeks ago and I have to go there for a couple of hours. Next week is my mothers birthday and she wants to take us to a restaurant, I really don't want to be in a restaurant surrounded by humans, it's just too much. I've been dreading it for weeks and can't wait for it to be over. Unfortunately, every time one of those events is finally over, another one presents itself.

If I ever won the lottery, I would buy a cabin somewhere in the middle of nowhere and that would be the last any human would have seen of me.
Hi, the firm I work for is working on something like this. I'm just the admin, not a developer, but check us out:

Can anyone comment on the taxation situation?

I mean, it may not be very interesting in the beginning when the earnings are not very far from zero, but as the startup grows, and the stock incentives become more tangible, it's becoming relevant. I was personally looking at Barcelona once but the moment I looked at how much taxes they pay, I dropped the idea.
It necessary to explain when you magically hand-wave in that it's going to benefit the environment and natural animal populations when all evidence and logic indicates the opposite.
So is the Lisbon tech startup scene active? I like the city a lot and was thinking about moving there.

What about language barrier? Do people speak English?
Krakow thrives under the so-called "authoritarian" (actually very mundane and liberal) government. The conditions for the growth of the tech sector are there, and most people working in it agree that they are better off than they were a couple of years ago and it's still getting progressively better.
I could not imagine following that many people.

I follow my local (city) government, the NWS for weather, and Raymond Hettinger.
I think they're just trying to apply the wrong tool for the job.

What they're probably interested in is getting news/thoughts about a handful of topics, which would be akin to following a few subreddits or forums.

But the way Twitter and Facebook are set-up is that you follow people, not topics. And people tend to talk about all sorts of topics on a given day, thus the "noise."
Oh come on, you can't even get a junior for less than 45k in Berlin. Most of my professional circle are well over 60, 70. If you're getting 36 as a (good) full stack I'd seriously recommend switching jobs.

America has enormous pre-existing advantages, the effect of electing a hostile government is not equivalent to the same in Poland.
If it is only 2 months old I would suggest bringing it to the apple store for repair. They made is very painless for me.
You should give Porto a look. Way more romantic than Lisbon and a more thriving tech/startup scene.
Why should we aim for 100% code coverage?
Basically none. Perhaps it would have been harder to get that first job out of college with a resume listing a GPA below 3.0/4 (in the US, where grade inflation is rampant; I had a 3.7 IIRC).

A point or two makes no difference whatsoever; and especially if you're going into a field other than what you directly studied, it's at best a weak signal that suggests (in the absence of work history) that either you have a good work ethic or you're good at determining minimum viable output.

It's also a weak signal because the factors like whether one had to work to pay for college introduce a lot of noise.

After that first job I never even listed it.
I follow a couple thousand people on Twitter. It's a mix of infosec folks, developers, startup friends, comic book artists, news people, comedians, a variety.

It's less I'm trying to follow individual people and more that I'm trying to find interesting thoughts or articles or art that they're creating or sharing.

Even so, there is still "noise" in that you'll see the same article surface multiple times or the same news story be bandied about (for the last 24 hours it's been pretty Sam Nunberg).
For Hindutva, it's of vital importance that Hinduism originate in India

To clarify, I thought this was widely accepted already, that Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism all started in India. Islam and Christianity being started elsewhere.
Security is always based on some secret that the user need to understand it's vital to not reveal or share. So, if people using 2fa or password reset by sms do not understand that the secret sent by sms is not to be shared there is nothing that people who implement security can do.
On the other side from technology point of you phone number spoofing is more or less hard to achieve depending on the operator you subscribe with. Some have specific anti spoofing features in there sms platform other don't. Anti spoofing include verifying the source cell, IP (in case of sms over IP)...
The smaller an object is the less time it takes for drag from the super tenuous atmosphere up in orbit to slow it down so it falls back to Earth. Gas molecules are very low mass and I expect that the exhaust for any given thruster will be gone quickly, even in the higher levels of LEO.

In Germany there are Places where you get paid very well, like Munich or Hamburg. But Berlin is like the Cheap and hyped City where you can pay less and find good employees who are willing to pay high rent, sometimes half of the monthly earnings, only to work for a Startup or a Big Name Company.

These people can talk whatever they want...does not mean that government is out to eliminate everyone else who is not Hindu. If they had influence, we would have seen this happen a long time ago. Indian society is maturing faster than any news article can summarize. Common people in India are too busy feeding their families now than to think of where they came from.
Glad it can help show you some of the pitfalls, though I'm not sure how well our experience extrapolates to a primarily python codebase.

... including those annoying favourites-as-retweets (.tweet-has-context:not([data-retweeter])). It really grates that they introduced that without allowing you to mute that like RT's, or a way to stop your own tweets showing up like that; and surprising that the feature survived after Ted Cruz's nsfw 'like' showed up that way last year.

They just throw stuff out the back of the rocket really fast to move forward, like any other sort of rocket. The nice thing about electrical rockets is that they decouple the energy used to throw the propellant from the chemical energy generated from burning the fuel, so you can end up throwing it out fast for very efficient rockets if you have enough electricity.

Lisbon? I've heard only horror stories about the rent/salary ratio. Portuguese emigrate in volumes comparable to Poles/Romanians and there is a reason for this.

Krakow? If you fancy working at the complete bottom of the corporate hierarchy at IBM/Capgemini/Accenture/etc, or for some Scandinavian/German cheapskates. Rents went through the roof as well.
Do you have problems with Docker for Mac?

and now even HN is :p
Reminds me of 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness in Discworld.
It appears like we are sacrificing speed in some cases, but it is not actually true. In the current heap, we have to modify a current row, add a new row, and then WAL log diff of both rows (or in some cases need to write both rows) and routinely perform Hot-pruning. Now, when the new row can't fit on the same page, we have to write both the pages, the page which contains old row and the page that contains new row.

In zheap, we need to write an old row in undo, but in many cases, it won't be written to disk as undo worker will discard the undo very quickly unless there are open snapshots. In this, we don't need to perform Hot-pruning. So, there is an additional cost of memory copy, but that is more than compensated by savings.

You can read 'macdice' reply in this regards.

Security Guardian is not a he/him. It may be a translation issue ... or maybe you've achieved human-level AI and it's become self-aware? In any case, I find it interesting that your first response is that the tool might have a bug ... and the link also on HN at this moment is about the Apollo 13 mission control engineers thinking their telemetry might be at fault. This is an excellent first response and it's important to provide a way to distinguish between the two.

I probably should have made the context clearer earlier in the post - later on I mention :

"To set the scene, our codebase is mainly Go, including vendor directories, and a considerable amount of data compiled in, we have 2.5M lines of code, a full build from a clean clone on one of our Jenkins slaves takes 1 minute.

We had between 8 and 20 engineers working on that codebase. Importantly we all develop on Mac, but run in production in linux."
It's so bad that Dynatrace, who is hiring in Gdańsk (another Polish city), is trying to convince devs from Kraków to move there with this: http://zmiensrodowisko.pl/
I was wondering the same, but couldn't find an answer. Seeing the Allegro reference brought back a lot of nostalgic feelings.
>>fix the education system that has been messed by the previous administration.

There is an assumption that the education system currently is in 'mess'. That is not true.

>>The 1% of history gets 99% focus

That is how school level education works. Do you think they teach 99% of physics or math in school? Or 99% of entire literature of whichever language you study? You can always opt for Masters or Doctorate in history, instead of other engineering or medicine courses.

>>whereas an equally amazing 99% is not mentioned

Feel free take up History as your specialization after 10th standard. You can go up to Doctorate and beyond.

>>either due to laziness or due to scheming history writers, wanting to support a particular ideology.

History is already well written and you can read if you wan to. And even study it full time. You just have to pick the right course. Don't expect to opt for Engineering and Medicine and then study history there.

>>Whats worse, is an Indian kid learns more about 200 to 400 yr old architecture around the world, but zilch about a 1000yr old fort or a temple in his/her own state.

As an Indian kid in the past, now adult. Who used to spend a lot of time in libraries, you can walk into any government library and pick up any book on any era and specialize on. There is mountains of work written. People just don't read it because the economic value of such knowledge is 0.
The majority of people in Lisbon under 40yo speak English to a good level. In a tech "setting" English level would be even higher.
This is an interesting comment. I don't disagree with the statement that there is 'asymmetric distribution of power and influence... in the world today' but am interested to hear more about why you think celebrities contribute to this.

My own world-view doesn't account for much celebrity contribution, apparently.

I was extremely impressed by Budapest and Bratislava on a recent trip to Europe.

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention either of them by name, but I suppose if, as the article states, "Every company is a tech company now”, then any city with a half-decent economy is a tech city now.

It eschews docker, and Dockerfiles and their non-determinism, and builds the layers itself, and uses a python lib [1] to push and pull container images.

In order to ensure reproducibility/determinism, however, Bazel doesn't have an equivalent of the RUN instruction. You have to use other Bazel rules to fetch and produce artefacts and add them to an image, and there aren't always rules for what it is you want to do (I have a spot of bother with installing pip packages, for which there is apparently alpha support).

This is, I think, the thing with Bazel: it has to re-invent everything to ensure this reproducibility and hermetic seal, because it doesn't trust existing build tools to do this, and quite rightly so if this is what you're seeking. But I suspect it's going to be painful doing things outside the mainstream supported stuff.

Hah :) I don't mean that malloc itself is fast, I mean that having non-jvm heap memory is fast.

A permanent memory block on the JVM heap can't use pointers to refer to it, since GC moves objects around. And even though those blocks will never be collected, they make up additional work for the GC to track.
I think the point is that this muslim population growth isn't real, in the sense that the implied causation is wrong. Those people don't get more children because they are muslim but because they are poor, as poor people generally get more children all over the world (e.g. African Americans in the U.S. are both over-represented among the poor and grow as a share of the overall population in the U.S.)
It is better than that: Netscape was actually the browser ignoring standards (and in particular was refusing to implement CSS) and Microsoft with IE came in as what someone from the W3C at the time called the "white knight" with a browser that cared about standards and published their DTDs and really implemented stuff like CSS. They (of course) ran into the typical-MS problem of "we implemented a draft and then they made a major change (to the box model, which ironically later got a configuration flag for and many many people actively prefer the old MS way ;P) and couldn't update very well as we now had existing users", but what I claim really caused them to stagnate was the massive lawsuit against them, which demoralized the IE team in a company that doesn't force people to work on project teams where they don't want to work (the culture in Microsoft was "if you want to build a new product, poach a team worth of people from other, more boring teams").

Better than what?

There was a time when I favored Ubuntu LTS releases over Debian, because of the extended support period and the ability to migrate from one LTS to the next. Time spent migrating from OS release to OS release is time servers aren't serving.

Since then, Debian has added its own LTS-like phase of support (though it's still not supported to skip versions when upgrading), and for me Ubuntu has made a lot of decisions that show they aren't really in alignment with my personal Free software preferences, so I favor Debian these days.

.. my last experience with Linux distros outside of this pair is limited, so I can't speak to e.g., Fedora or CentOS these days.
