This gives me hope but I wouldn't be surprised if they labelled it as "burdensome regulation".
I agree with everything EXCEPT for the validation being intrinsic.

If the validation is /required/ after every operation then a lot of processing must happen on the underlying storage after EVERY operation to ensure it is still valid.

If the validation is deferred (such as until programmer request or possibly when emitted out of program) then those checks are also combined in to one final operation; hence the reason for tracking 'is this validated'.

Similar logic also applies to normalization (which opens options for optimizations in comparisons among other things).
I like how absolutely critical little 'details' like this get missed on HN so easily, by people speaking with extreme confidence. Thanks for the reality check!
He isn't convicted for being famous. He is convicted for fraud. The sentence takes into account his behavior with regard to his fraud case. He didn't show remorse, and it was likely that he would do it again. Hence a harsher sentence than he expected.
A photograph of my desk.

Most tech jobs I've seen don't have any photos at all. When they do, it's usually the lobby and kitchen and ping-pong table. Why are you trying so hard to hide the place I'm going to be spending 95% of my time? You wouldn't buy a car without ever having seen the driver's seat, and I spend way less time in my car than at my computer.

When I saw photos of Fog Creek's offices (with programmers sitting at their own desks), I didn't need to read any marketing fluff to know that programmers are treated better there than at any tech company I've seen in Seattle, and if I lived near NYC I'd be beating down the doors to work there. They're not architecturally 'pretty' but seeing 20 desk-level outlets per person shows they've thought about all the little annoyances that developers have.

Of course, on the hiring side, this only works if your workspace is a differentiator for you. If it's a generic open-office floor plan, then it's not, and you probably should hide it from applicants and push salary/benefits and "interesting problems" instead.
"That's because you should never have first 6 and last 4 in the same place at the same time, particularly to someone who is not the owner of the card!"

Sounded to me more like "of course they fixed it fast, this is a serious issue", and undermined the speed it get resolved. Probably my bad.
Oh-- I thought it was expensive!! Yeah, I can imagine all that needs to happen is they need to pull off a little face plate and put in the buttons/switches. I'm now embarrassed that I haven't figured out how to do it myself.
I am concerned about that wife but your process makes sense.
Italian design is a result of a 2000-year-old legacy of excellence in art and, sadly, has nothing to do with cooperation. The famous names (Bertone, Pininfarina, Ferrari etc) have always been regular companies, and Emilia is not really a traditional center of design activity - for that you would look at Milan, Rome, and Turin. You do have the DAMS in Bologna, aka "Umberto Eco's faculty", but it's always been more about media than design.

The somewhat-distributed coop model traditionally helped and incentivised STEM-oriented schools. Emilia has some of the best engineering schools in the country, both at university level and below, and a huge network of engineering-based companies working in industrial automation and precision instruments - including the Motor Valley of Ferrari-Lamborghini-Ducati fame. Even there, you really remember the cars designed by Bertone and Pininfarina, studios based further North.
Yeah. Perhaps this is a good metric of ecosystem and developer productivity, and would make for a good extensive blog post: how long does it take to implement users, with password resets and security and everything being just so? With rails, it's, what, an early afternoon with devise and some associated gems? What else has that? Again, not perfect, not tailored, but most people don't wear tailored clothes, and don't need tailored clothes, either. I'll be happy if I get one paying user in a few months when I'm ready to show this thing off. (Edit: I just watched a meteor tutorial doing exactly this and now I feel a pull to remake everything. Jeez.)
Depends on how disruptive their proving it is going to be. If it's not going to be worth the code turmoil, even if they're right, then no, that's not "the right way to go".

Improvements aren't free. They cost, usually more than just the opportunity cost of the implementer's time. There are lots of ideas for improvement that will cost more than they deliver. If I have someone consistently suggesting them, no, I have no place for utilizing their "talent", and no, it's not because my workplace sucks.

Yeah, it sucks that you couldn't sell the stack you submit on your own for a year, but isn't almost always that the case for freelance work? When you're a freelance journalist, surely your client buys the right to publish your story exclusively for some period of time.
How close are we to pure-crypto distributed markets? It strikes me as odd that dark markets are still centralized, albeit behind Tor. Surely someone is working on something entirely distributed.

> You do realize that even things like programming language selection are 90% fashion-driven, right?

For some, sure.
I just use struct because access defaults to public. Inheritance is almost always public, and I prefer to declare public members at the top of my class for readability. I don't see any profound lessons of software engineering arising from the C++ definitions of class and struct. I don't read class and struct as having strong semantic conventions communicating intent. I don't see a significant problem with the way we currently define interfaces using them.

I'm sure I'm just used to things the way they are, but this does not seem to me like a strongly motivating example for metaclasses.
I personally dislike some things about Apollo & prefer Redux+graphQL+RxJS combo, and can't wait to see what happens w/ React Suspense

The problem with Apollo that I cannot get over is it couples data fetching to components. The whole reason Redux is popular is it decouples UI actions from data fetching. It decouples asynchronous logic from state mutations. Apollo intentionally couples that logic.

With redux, I can dispatch an action anywhere in my app to trigger a data fetch. That data fetch itself could be a graphQL query.

With apollo, I have to mount a component to trigger a data fetch. The workaround to pre-fetch data is to render a "dummy" component, causing it to pre-populate the cache.

Another issue, Apollo batching seems to be "all or nothing". Any components mounting in the same event tick get batched into 1 query. This is a problem when one query is in the critical UI path & is fast, but Apollo has batched it together with a slow query that is not critical. Think about mounting an <Article> with some <Comments> below it, but you don't want to wait on rendering <Article> just because <Comments> is slow. Now you have your fast UI components blocked from rendering because you're waiting on this batched request.

With Redux I would get around the batching problem with redux-observable middleware. I could write an epic that looks for actions, buffers these, issues multiple graphQL queries (while giving me control over how to batch them, if at all), and deal with responses in real-time as they arrive.

With Apollo v2, they totally ditched Redux. There is no escape hatches in Apollo to deal with the problems that Redux solves. That being said, Apollo cuts out tons of boilerplate & its a great library, so give it a try & decide yourself. Personally I think co-locating data requirements with components is a wonderful concept but the current implementation of graphQL clients is quite stovepipe.

Also the landscape is about to shift again due to React suspense. You would throw a promise in your render() method, and React will block rendering of the component tree within a <Placeholder />, conceptually similar to error boundaries. There is rumor of a Redux integration as well.
The issue with this is the late sunrise in the winter. In mid-Jan in LA the sun rises at ~7AM. It would rise at 8AM with daylight savings in winter. This sucks terribly since it moves your whole commute into dark; kids walk to school in the dark, etc.

It's pretty depressing to start the day in the dark, to be honest (with apologies to folks living in very northern or southern latitudes)
Alternatively, life is sometimes a sad story, and once it happens to someone they know people start looking for systems to blame.

Did you read that blog he wrote about Grab? I am curious if you respect his opinions in that. Most of it is pretty cringe-worthy not least of which of are his neo-colonial claims and stereotyping. Some highlights from the blog post include:

" ... because — as any Asian person will happily tell you — they love their food more than you do"

"Southeast Asians use smartphones possibly more than anyone else in the world."

Project Gutenberg has a copy of the Victorian-era (The Municipal and Sanitary Engineer's Handbook)[http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/55935]. There's a good discussion on how to write a paving contract on about page 35, including a quick discussion of using machinery to crush rocks for the road surface. It turns out that different machines produce wildly better or worse crushed stone, and that it makes a difference.

And there's a snarky comment on page 163 about companies that have to fix roads after ripping them up ("breaking"):
if they do condescend to cart anything away it is generally the metal, which they think will come in nicely for the repairs of the trench during their liability for such repairs.

TL/DR: your town engineer just needs to specify the right stuff in the contract, and the road paving companies will just have to adapt.

If you think about it, the same thing holds true for any large, bespoke contract. What you get at the end depends in part on the supervision you put in.
And to whom do you think the insurance companies pass those costs?

It's a bit sickening how dismissive the author is to brush aside the impact of inflation on this plan. Inflation is a direct tax on the poor who are trying to save money.

Not just the poor. My current salary would've put me into the Upper Middle class, verging on upper classes in my youth. Now, it's squarely middle class.

> relatively cheap

This is a surprisingly big factor: we get bitumen from refining crude oil whether we want it or not, and the endless demand for the lighter fractions of crude means we're gonna do a lot of refining regardless, so the market had to find something to do with the left-over sludge.

Also pushing the price down, asphalt is almost completely recyclable: when a worn-out road surface finally gets dug up & replaced, the old asphalt doesn't go to landfill - it can be crushed up, melted down, and re-layed somewhere else. So much of the demand doesn't actually much reduce the amount on the market.

Compare to, say, concrete: we don't make concrete unless we want concrete, it's not a byproduct of an otherwise-useful process; and once you dig it up, you can only re-use it as ugly gravel, you can't turn it back into fresh concrete.

Having thought about it you're probably right. That properly belongs on a different kind of wrapper around this data structure or ones like it. Maybe in that /specific/ and /rare/ use case it even makes sense to store the underlying data in a wide data structure; but my supposition is that handling it as a series of fragments (which would have a length in memory and in code-points sizes) would be the answer. If addressing in such a way replacement and other editing operations seem likely.
Since several DST articles have been posted this week as we approach a DST-event weekend, I have found it interesting to read the comments on HN. My own comment [1] on Florida's vote to use permanent DST (assuming the federal government will allow it) expressed my sentiment as succinctly as I could.

But I want to make one more point to counter a sentiment I've seen in these threads. Most of us who out of convenience characterize ourselves as "anti-DST" don't much care if we have permanent standard time or permanent "daylight-saving" (summer) time. The specific singular timezone we select is inconsequential in my mind, as long as it is in fact singular. What anti-DST means to me is being opposed to the twice-annual madness of changing every clock in the nation. As I said in my other comment, these clock changes cause countless small nuisances, immeasurable drowsiness and lost productivity, and a non-trivial number of injuries or worse. So shift every state one timezone eastward, but do so and be done with clock adjustments once and for all.

And yes, there are bigger problems in the world. But unlike solving healthcare, abolishing DST is just a decision. There's no hard problem to solve—just remove it.

That's not entirely true.

If it was billed to insurance, they would pass those costs over to the people paying the premiums.

Some insurance policies are self-funded: Meaning they have plans, but the insurance company is really just the administrator. The actual costs are paid by the company employing the people buying the insurance. They can both pass the costs onto the employees paying health insurance premiums plus add in that cost to the goods they sell.

A great deal of insurance plans have a co-payment for drugs. If you had to pay 20% of the cost of this drug, that is still quite an increase for the patient.

Not everyone needing these drugs has insurance. Luckily, some charities exist to try to pay the bills for these folks and sometimes there are other discounts available for the uninsured.

Some people are on government insurance plans, both in the US and in places with state health care. In these cases, the costs are passed onto tax payers.

Sorry, but pretty much everyone pays for this sort of thing.
AKA "any market that sells fentanyls probably isn't being running by dutch police"
There is a bill proposed here in Florida to do just that. We're already in DST 8 months out of the year anyway.
The second is really the original essence of trolling. Evoking a reaction from people by pretending to be something you're not. Ken M is a classic example of this.

> In other words, getting rich from increasing the amount of misery in this world.

This is the fallacy. He didn't get rich from increasing the amount of misery in the world. He didn't give people toxoplasmosis. He got rich from not doing something he could do (i.e. sell drugs more cheaply) to decrease the amount of misery. Which is the exact same thing you do when you buy a Macbook Pro instead of donating the money to save a life from malaria: you forgo the opportunity to decrease the amount of misery in the world in return for your own personal benefit.
This is a dupe FYI.

Why not? What makes you think currently-established science measures true "intelligence" and not just whatever phenomenon the test is measuring? To use heliocentrism as an example, how can you possibly know whether our current understanding is accurate or just the next heliocentrism (that we haven't disproven yet)?

Some of the smartest people I know wouldn't do well on an IQ test. Many of the questions are abstract but not all of them -- at least in my case several of those questions seemed more cultural than anything else. (And in some cases these supposedly 'abstract' questions seem to have a possibility-space of answers that even the test-writers did not anticipate.) If you define intelligence as the quantification of one's experiences, then sure, I'll roll with your argument, but experience (and abstract thinking) are just small parts of the overall equation, to which I think we still cannot grasp.

Why not move the version specifier from Cargo.toml to the extern statement ala Qml?

import QtQuick 2.7

This has multiple benefits:

* You only need to go to up to 1 file to add an import
* Tools like cargo-script don't need special comment syntax for inline dependency specification.
* The source code functionality arguably depends on the version of the libraries included as well as the name, so it keeps it together.

This seems pretty obvious though so I'm guessing there's a reason it wasn't done?

I agree he's very smart. But you argue that, besides being a boy genius, he is a very thoughtful and respectful guy -- yet he's too dumb and ignorant to recognize the consequences of extreme trolling?

I think the idea is that if it is possible / easy to re-obtain the media, then you don't need to back it up (i.e., if it was obtained via bittorrent).

A second classification is data that isn't changing -- you can create a couple backups of that media, store one in a bank safe deposit box, maybe ship another backup to a family member across the country.

Then you have recent acquisitions and ongoing projects -- those are what you would sync daily to an online backup service. So you still have offsite backup of everything, but by splitting up the categories, you end up not needing to sync that much online.
