The EU provides limited freedom of movement. What you ordinarilly get is an automatic 3 month via to find work. There are lots of limits on it, which are up to the member states to enforce if they want to. If you move to some EU countries and try to live on benefits then you get deported for visa violations.

In the UK it seems the government felt it was cheaper to lay off the border control officers and let people do what they want, but then complain that they are doing whatever they want.
Different societies and cultures. Japan would also _not_ have this problem --while Brazil probably would.

Our society is new and in flux. It hasn't yet converged and congealed with a semi monolithic identity (even if from disparate parts). Who knows if it will ever happen. Maybe one day.
I don't think a stand-up electric razor scooter is particularly safe if it can travel at bike speeds. The wheels are too small and will have issues with road surfaces far worse than bikes. The danger would be careless riders pitching themself onto the concrete at bike speeds, and anyone who has done that knows it isn't fun. Better full electric bikes, at least they have the tire size to provide a stable ride.

You can pull CO2 out of the air with a hay field. That's not the problem.
I started installing Debian on desktop. It is far more stable than Ubuntu. And if you install the non-free Debian, there are usually no issues with wifi or graphic drivers (you need the non-free version though).

There was time where Ubuntu on desktop made sense, but now Debian is just better and more stable.
> Except we already have the powers to stop this low-wage immigration. The EU allows member countries full ability to protect their borders from these immigrants, we just choose not to.

That's plain wrong. Every EU country must allow freedom of movement for workers from other EU states.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_movement_for_worker...

> Look at France, Germany, etc. for countries that properly enforce their borders.

Germany currently doesn't even enforce its borders for immigrants from outside of the EU. For immigrants from the EU, it is simply not allowed to just like every other EU country.
We are also rather prone to seeing patterns in noise.
What We Learn about Self-Sovereignty from CryptoKitties
>Except the groups I referred to were university establishments and thinktanks.

The official response from the establishments of elite universities and the output of think tanks is almost the definition of "out of touch elites", no?

>Much of the outroar came not from the 'elites', so much as middle and lower class professors...

Not in the media read by people in Lincolnshire. They don't hear the outroar coming from those middle and lower class professors going on strike either.

I appreciate that you might have had mates who were postdocs who had legitimate reason to be worried about science funding (so do I!), but not everybody does.

>It doesn't take a genius to see that this is not a beneficial position to be in as a country.

What you described above was the effect of hard Brexit. Hard Brexit wasn't even on the cards until some time after the vote, and is still not confirmed even now.

>The deal still hasn't been made, but we can still predict that the outcome of this will be negative

It's entirely possible to extract some good from this process even if it was better that it was never started. However, paying little attention to the actual shape of the deal, which is highly mutable, and simply re-iterating that any kind of Brexit is the worst possible thing that could ever be happening to us isn't going to do that. One way or the other it's happening.

It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
Accumulating savings for a few months of expenses is easy enough, and is definitely a good move, but it's still super stressful to watch that amount get smaller every month, and it gets smaller much quicker than it gets bigger. It's a buffer between you and moving back in with your parents, but it's not FU money in any meaningful way.
>If you're interested in the numbers behind this argument I highly recommend the book "Sustainable energy without the hot air".

The numbers in that book do not support your case. And that's for a small island nation without many renewable resources, trying to be energy independent, written at a time when renewable cost many multiples of what they cost now.

Wind and solar can easily provide many multiples of our total energy demand, even after the entire world is brought up to a European standard of energy consumption.

Nuclear may have an impact, but it's going to be 20+ years before it can. Every attempt to build is met with massive delays and almost criminal incompetence. We can't build nuclear right now. Maybe SMRs will be different, if they will never be as cheap as renewables. SMR might be the expensive thing that gets us from 80% to 100% renewables, or it may be some other technology for seasonal energy storage.

The nuclear industry has let the world down when nuclear was needed most. The so called nuclear renaissance that should have started in 2008 in the US and the UK has fizzled due to construction mismanagement. We needed those reactors to be built quickly, and cheaply, and then to replicate that success again and again, but due to the failure we must invest heavily in wins solar and storage until a new generation of more competent nuclear construction is possible.
On the Art of Predicting Compatibility Regression When Assessing Risk
I'm not a chemist at all, but I know that there are a lot of variables here. A link between particular cleaning products and poor lung function on the basis of anecdotal evidence about how often people clean seems tenuous at best.
As someone who raised children and grandchildren, I can't find any explanation to how fast they learn the language, based on very few samples (where your 4D argument doesn't apply). Sure, children learn from conversations with adults, but those are mostly trivial, and involve trivial concepts. And children seem to be able to learn not only from the very limited number of samples, but also (in a sense) - learn more than these samples contain. BTW, did anyone try to analyze how many words/phrases the child heard, say, by the age of 7, when they develop perfect understanding of the language and ability to speak like adults? And after that age, one can spend 50 years learning foreign language and still not get it.
I don't mean this to be diminutive of Bach, but Bach was a technician, a craftsman. He mastered the art form of his time and was amazing at it. Beethoven was an _artist_ in much more the modern sense, with all that entails. Bach was the guy in the cathedral who just wrote his twentieth amazing piece. Beethoven was the unwashed guy in his apartment with a spittoon by his side tweaking away on the piano. They just don't compare.

But if I had to choose, it'd be Beethoven. His early symphony works illustrated that he certainly knew the current form. He just didn't like it much. And his later string works are some of the best written music ever (from what the pros tell me.)

I sure would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when young Beethoven was being taught by "Papa" Haydn. What a pair that must have been.

In my experience anyone claiming this is just a UNIX developer so used to UNIX's problems that they not only don't even see them anymore, they think they're actually features.

The way I understand it, if you're pale enough, there's more than enough sunshine in a dreary UK winter to get enough exposure. The problem is much more related to how we don't take advantage of it as a culture. Odds are, that the day on which you should be outside soaking in some rays is going to be a day that you cannot leave your office for more than a lunch.
I have a concern with this statement:

> If we didn't have a deficit, we wouldn't be seeing the numbers of imported labor in this market.

Everything I've seen and read indicates that we have a deficit only of people willing to work for really poor wages. If that's a population we want to fill with women, we're not doing them any favors.
Life is full of the most horrible pain and suffering you can't imagine. We can't stop and shed a tear every time someone meets their fate, let alone every time some poor creature does.

So, yes, I can absolutely watch those videos without a shred of emotion. It's called compartmentalization.

It had an army, larger than the one from its home country. AFAIK, it was officially not independent, but what difference does the official title make?

Make sure that you install (or reinstall after a big macOS upgrade) the XCode command line tools. If they are not present, homebrew falls back to compiling GCC from source.
Wow, this article echoes exactly why I'm leaving my company next week. Was hired 2 years ago as architect, but over time ended up just being micromanaged by upper management. Got bitter, cared a lot more about pay than I used to, and ultimately put my notice in.
You should try out empathy sometime. You are adopting a thought process that is the equivalent of my grandma yelling at me to eat my broccoli because children are starving in Ethiopia.

Like it or not, representative governments are supposed to represent their countrymen. While the plight of the 3rd world is awful in many ways, I’ll assure you that the policy positions have nothing to do with people seeking a better life.
Docker-ce from upstream docker works well on Debian.

I've not looked at "naked" lxc for quite some time - but I've used Lxd on Ubuntu a bit, and that's a great experience.

If what you want is "containers" (single-purpose, ephemeral) - I'd say for now the docker tooling is best. But there's not much isolation - there lxc is better.

I've yet to try alternative "run times" like rkt - but I believe that's the better way forward compared to docker. For now we use docker mostly for packing up an application and managing dependencies - not for resource/security isolation.

I suggest reading over :

Shouldn't we all be working towards automation and no jobs for people? The end goal of capitalism is full unemployment not full employment. All people should not expect any work to do themselves but rather expect work to be done automatically.
In theory that should be possible. But it seems much simpler to remove some greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere, or to deploy ultrathin sunshades into orbit to decrease the brightness of the sun for part of the day.

Systemd is an init system that tries to do everything: system init, hardware monitoring to load drivers on demand, configure networking, rerun failed jobs, service management, and it comes with a binary-format logger.

The claimed advantages of systemd are mostly relevant, IMHO, for mobile devices that change configuration often. It brings no particular advantage to servers or desktops, unless you tend to swap out lots of peripherals on your desktop.

The disadvantages are partially political -- systemd tries to take over every job it can; the originator has made it clear that his vision is for every system function to be handled by systemd -- and partially philosophical: it used to be the case that most subsystems were independent of each other, so that they could be replaced more or less easily if the sysadmin had different needs.

The current stable Debian still makes it possible to run a different init system with just a line of package installation and a reboot.
Powershell makes liberal use of aliasing[0] for when you'rehacking at the commandline as opposed to writing a script (where the verbosity is actually a good idea). Also, it has tab complete for cmdlets, variables, and even switches.

For example, "Get-Content" is aliased to "cat", and "type", which is the old DOS equivalent of cat, and "gc". And of course you can add your own aliases. But you're right, it isn't the core-utils you're used to from UNIX, it's better. So much goddamned better. It aught to be, it was developed with 30+ years of hindsight.

I seem to have touched a nerve, but I'm quite simply explaining what I've seen. I believe it to be true, much like you believe your version to be true. Without giving names, it's hard for me to prove my point unequivocally, so I'm afraid that's where I'll have to leave it.

But it's not just cops. It's also internal compliance. The truth is money attracts people. A front office person offered 40% more starting salary than compliance will attract the top performing grads. Lower paying jobs will get second pick (barring exceptions where people are committed to a career due to passion, regardless of payoff).

Von Neumann's 29 states were custom designed to make it easy to construct passive configurations, similar to the way a 3D printer builds things -- one layer at a time.

You can't do that in Conway's Life, because stable patterns in Life aren't necessarily stable when you add one cell at a time. But you can do the next best thing, which is to design circuitry that's made out of small stable "Spartan" pieces -- and then build the pieces one at a time.

Related to this, there's an equivalent for building passive structures and then activating them. In Life you can build a static "one-glider seed constellation". Hit the stable constellation with a single glider, and a few ticks later you have a working spaceship. Example:

http://www.conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=&p=57674#p5...

However, there's no reasonable expectation of figuring out how to build a one-glider seed for the Sir Robin knightship any time soon -- the knightship is way too fast, active, and complex. With current techniques a search for such a thing would likely take millions of years.

tldr; programmers are creatives, so don't treat them as just resources.
I thought this was going to go in quite a different direction.

In addition to culture, programmers might want to just code because their time is so consumed by meetings, support, and chat, that they hardly have the chance during normal work hours to code at all.
Hey HN,

Currently trying to find some interested teams to try out my new product: Fini.

Fini is basically a super simple task management app that helps you and your team keep track of what needs to be done.

I personally am not a fan of asana or trello so I thought it was worth giving it a shot, to try and design something a little bit differently. In this case, with a focus on a simple, intuitive and fast experience.

Would any of you be interested in trying this out?
One has to wonder why a toolchain must be so complicated that someone has to spend entire weekends getting it to work. Why is development like this in 2018?
It helps to have a stock project or two that let you exercise I/O, data structures, standard library, benchmarking and so on.

For me I have a couple:

1) A nonlexical phrase extractor. Read in a lexicon of words, read in a narrative document, subtract words from the lexicon from the document, collect all remaining strings with word length > 2. Voila, most of them will be names of people.

2) Build an on disk bloom filter. Pretty straightforward, the most complicated part is finding suitable hash functions and figuring out how the local mmap library works and working out the arithmetic for bit flipping amongst a big array of bytes.

Neither of these are very complicated or require lots of work to set up. But when you're done you'll know most of the operators, how to read in and write out things, how to interact with the standard library, control flow and so on. I can usually hammer both of these out in an afternoon.

A few people I know have more advanced "simple" projects, like ones that require figuring out the local threading system, sockets and so on: e.g. write a simple web server. It kind of depends on what kind of work you generally do.

Interestingly, the evolution of the human mind has dealt with similar challenges.

A lot of what AI is doing (pattern matching, creative problem solving, etc) could be considered “right brain” activities. Some think that many human mental problems arise out of an unchecked, overactive right brain. We still mistake shadows on the wall for something sinister, or read more into a person’s glance than is really there.

Some posit that the right brain is always hallucinating, in a sense; that psychedelic drugs simply disable the left brain, and allow the right brain to take center stage. Until the corpus callosum developed (which allows the left and right brain to send data back and forth across the divide), it’s possible that right brain insights came to us as “voices” in our heads.

See:
“Incognito: the secret lives of the brain.”

“The Dragons of Eden: speculations on the evolution of human intelligence.”

I kind of get what the author is saying but he sort of reaches a strange conclusion. Programmers just want to be left alone to code more often than not because being stuck in meetings all day or "interfacing" with management and sales is actively harmful to our careers. In any given day I can have 3 to 4 hours of meetings that are handholding sales guys who can't be bothered reading a medium article on the technology they're selling customers. There are more than one programmer in my division that's turned apocryphal because they never have time to practice their art. If the author of this article thinks more inclusion in business decisions is what I want he simply doesn't get it.

As a negative commenter on that topic: it's not a new idea. It's not even a new tool. It's an iteration on an existing tool to make it more user friendly. It's an iteration which, by all appearances, didn't go far enough.

Tools, like ideas, get feedback when posted to a forum like this. Feedback is rarely going to be all positive, especially in the cases where a tool is still rough.

Indeed, but I wonder if ITER has had a chilling effect on other such projects that could take advantage of newer technology to leapfrog it. In fact, some of the recent projects are looking more like the space race, which is an encouraging sign, and perhaps especially if it lights a fire under ITER - let's have a fusion race!

The article cited 2035 as the date when ITER is expected to begin producing fusion energy. While preliminary R&D is necessary, it is all for (nearly) nothing unless and until it results in fusion at a scale that advances the state of the art.

"AI hallucination" and its negative effects is not limited to self-driving cars... for example, see the latest incident with Alexa "hallucinating" a command to laugh. What makes that scary to me, is Alexa also had to "hallucinate" the trigger words as well. How many times does Alexa "hallucinate" those trigger words and send random conversations off to a third party?
This is a common economic fallacy.

"A job guarantee (JG) is an economic policy proposal aimed at providing a sustainable solution to the dual problems of inflation and unemployment." However, it is economic consensus that inflation is caused by government monetary policy (the "monetarist" view). It is also economic consensus that inflation is destructive and creates unemployment. So if government policy is creating inflation, and therefore unemployment, why would a government "job guarantee" be a sensible response? More alcohol doesn't sober a drunk man; more intervention doesn't balance an economy.

As the article correctly notes, "When inflationary expectations subside, [unemployed] people will get their jobs back." So isn't the most sensible solution to have the government stop inflating the currency? That would solve the "dual problems" without introducing a third. It would also be a fair and honest thing to do. After all, inflation is the government's way of raising revenue by cheating (it's "the hidden tax").

As a side note, it amazes me these antique economic fallacies consistently appear on HN, of all places. They are worse than nonsense, they're dangerous. When practiced, they really hurt people. Yes, they might help a few people - but they hurt far more than they help, and for far longer. Consider the government make-work programs during the Great Depression, which are now credited for dragging out that misery. Please, enough with the junk economics. There are far more fruitful government policy discussions to occupy intelligent minds - increasing efficiency, reducing deficits and debt, fighting corruption, stopping war, to name a few.
