No one is seriously proposing open boarders. Anyone on the right telling you otherwise is selling you a straw man. And let's all remember, a border without a wall is not an "open" border. That's not what that means.
This is all true, however even among all-malt beers there is significant variance in the quality of ingredients. That doesn't mean that there is no pretense but that high-quality beers can be measurably better (GCMS, blind sensory tests etc.) than less expensive ones made with cheaper inputs.

>The fact that I have to schlep my luggage on shuttle buses to a rental area is an artifact of a business model that no longer makes sense.

Well, it's also an artifact of the reality that the rental volume at major airports is such that the activity needs to be moved well away from baggage claim. Honestly, I don't find car rentals to be that big a deal. I have priority cards for a couple of companies so I basically take the bus/train, grab a car, and checkout at the gate. Admittedly, I don't usually have much luggage.

Your choice of articles says more about you than the quality of the articles. Also, a number of these articles were published pursuant to mandatory thesis requirements. They weren't intended to expand the frontiers of human knowledge; they were intended to show that the degree-earner is capable of deep analysis in their respective PhD program.

The otter article, for example, appears to be a well-researched analysis of otter populations in Alaskan waters correlated with human settlement and economic activities. The pumpkin latte article looks into the correlation of light colors and whiteness and advertising in the US, an issue which frequently pops up in marketing gaffes (including one as recently as last week for a beer commercial). The queer organizing article looks at diversity in organizations, analyzed using sociological framework (i.e., "norms") rather than the business management framework. The Sausage Party article is an academic analysis of the movie, which is a surprisingly deep commentary of race, gender, and ethnicity in the U.S.
NoRedInk | Back-End, Front-End, Full-Stack, SRE, or Engineering Manager | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 2 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

This actually isn't remotely comparable to what Sinclair is doing. Not remotely. I am tempted to say that you know it's not comparable and that you're simply outright lying, but I'll restrain myself, and instead just note that you're completely and outrageously incorrect.

Steam on Linux works very well.
Rust is a systems language for people who prefer strongly typed languages. It has some relatively unique features that make learning and using the language a little quirky, but for many who end up liking it, C and C++ often no longer seem "just fine." Rust ends up being a genuine improvement for a lot of people.

Also, unless you mean "write an essentially new language that happens to compile to C rather than machine code" -- you're delusional if you think you can recreate some of the nicer features of Rust as a new C preprocessor.

BIND is the industry standard - but insanely overkill for your use case. Unbound is very easy and lightweight. Dnsmasq is another option, but I don't think you can setup root server with it.
It's not taking off because, out of the box, it can't replace the gatekeepers: there needs to be a certain time period, sometimes decades, from publication until the moment a major work is recognized and cited. Cites form a DAG (old papers never cite newer ones) so do not converge on a recursive application of PageRank, newest works have all identical weights by definition.

So in the short run, you still need a prospective measure of scientific value, and acceptance for publication in a selective journal ("impact factor") serves that purpose well.
Ok, but you're telling me you have studder and performance issues. So... Kodi then.
Extreme Programming has this idea of a "spike". It's throwaway code that you write just to figure out how to do something. (The name comes from trying to "nail something down", I think.) That's not quite just thinking for a sprint, but it's in the same direction.
Agree, if funded with public money, the outcomes (papers, ...) should be open and freely available to everyone.
Have you run into any problems improving or training your algorithm if you're limiting the data it has access to? What are some of the things you've done that make you "wish" you could be an online off-device tool?

I ask because most of what we hear is that online tools will get better over time because you are sharing your data. How do you work around this, or is that even an obstacle?
> * In 2018, the most popular memory amount for users of Firefox is still 4GB, trailed by the also disappointingly small 8GB. In my world, I consider 16GB a bare minimum, but at least with memory I haven't been deluding myself—I know many people economize on memory. Still, I would have thought 8GB was the most common memory size by now.

In 2018, my computer only has 2GB RAM and runs more than fast enough for what I need on a 32-bit processor. I don't understand why some people always want bigger hardware numbers, rather than better software.

> * A surprising number of people still have Flash installed.
I do too, I don't see how it's abnormal.

> I can barely conceive of the poor experience of running a modern web browser on 4 GB of memory at 1366x768. Can you imagine the user experience of today's modern over-JavaScripted web pages on such underpowered hardware: not simply slow because of their grotesquely large transmission payload but also because they caused your computer to start swapping memory pages to disk?

I can barely conceive of how narrow-minded and myopic your technological experience must be that you feel only the latest and "greatest" is viable. As someone who browses the Web regularly, I spend a lot of time on places like HN, YouTube, etc. My screen resolution is 1440x900 - one step above the 1366x768. As I said, 2GB RAM, etc. This is why I've argued, constantly, against the nonsense of Chrome and "modern" Firefox. That's why users of old computers are going to Pale Moon if they know about it, or back to Internet Explorer, or just not upgrading to the newest Firefox.

Your technological experience is very much a high-class experience, but you have to understand that there are users all over the world and in all economic positions. All this push toward expecting the best and most modern only works to force out the common person - in America it's the poor person in the ghetto who still is well above the position of people in other, even less prosperous nations. Most people, if they are lucky, have a used <$200 laptop which is often a decade or so old. Library computers are often almost as old - I know two libraries which are still running their .5GB 32-bit Windows NT2000 computers as patron-access machines because they are in poor areas and simply cannot afford to upgrade.

People who have the view that everyone should have base access to the latest, greatest, and most wonderful hardware upset me greatly. I have one comment about it that seems constructive. If you think it's so important that they should have this, you should provide it. If you can't give every person who has an old reliable computer (that they can repair) the newest bleeding-edge tech (and give them service when it inevitably breaks), then you need to understand that they have valid concerns too - and help provide better software and help others like you to understand what reality looks like for most of the world.
Yeah! I’d have to disagree! I started watching TC videos because of Justin Kincaid’s TC Cribs but after he left I stopped.

Tito brought me back with his energy and enthusiasm.
My opinion is right to the spot. The amount of posting for rust is inapropriate to the amount of posts every other language has while it seriously doesn't offer something revolutionary to developers. All fans are having c++ to be able to do same things or more, AFTER they have figured out their limits. c/c++ problem is not type safety but rather that it allows people doing anything. But this is also a huge bonus.

Ticketmaster doesn't get 100% of the fee. One of the services that Ticketmaster offers is to charge a large fee, which is then split between everybody (i.e. the artist, the promoter, the venue). They act as the bad guy so that the event can be more appropriately priced while providing the artist with plausible deniability.

The winning 8k in Revision 2018
If that were true, Linux on the desktop would have already won and this decision wouldn't be controversial. I think what's preventing this is that making a productive desktop operating system is more difficult than we think.
No, it is in fact not "sad" that Democrats will not allow Trump to spend billions of dollars to build an ineffectual and innately-offensive "wall" between us and one of our closest allies. There can be no "compromise" on proposals as offensive and wasteful as this.
The threat model of MiTM attacks leans heavily towards the client side than the Cloudflare -> origin connection. It's not perfect and it would be fantastic if everyone could setup SSL on their origin servers, but in the end there's are more script kiddies in coffeeshops than there are tier1 isps trying to steal your data
Which, for a small system, can work, because you can hold the whole design in your head, and because you can write the whole thing before any requirements change. Try to scale that up, though, and you get into the usual BDUF disasters.
It depends on the language: how far away is it from machine code? (among other things)

C compilers are very close to machine code, so it takes few passes to write a simple non-optimizing C compiler. I'm pretty sure that after parsing, the original C compilers were one pass. We talked about them a bit here [1]

ML is further from the machine model, so compiling it takes more work. For example, it has closures, while C doesn't, and that's something extra that you have to deal with, probably in multiple stages of the compiler.

A common theme in functional languages like ML and Lisp is "desugaring passes" or "lowering passes", which basically means turning a language construct into a more basic one, so that you can treat things more uniformly at later stages. The more language features you have, the more potential for desugaring/lowering. OCaml and Haskell in particular have a ton of features that can be treated like this.

Slide 14 here has a (partial) diagram of the Scala compiler, which is extremely deep: https://www.slideshare.net/Odersky/compilers-are-databases

Why not? From the perspective of society, they're doing the same thing. Thus the implementation detail of being centralized or not doesn't come in to play.

I'm seriously shocked by the number of people that are putting always on "assistants" in their home - but more so on the number of people that should know better, like HN people.
I do see this as a bad thing, but I also know that everyone under 40 gets their news from the web. The target audience for these channels are older people who don't read news online or on mobile phones.

In a way, Sinclair is becoming a TV streaming service.

I sense the badness, but I also think they run the risk of spending a lot of money on a wasted effort.

You can only influence people if they're dumb _and_ watching your news programs. Seems like a dwindling market if you ask me. People already have FOX News and they've reached their ceiling (35% of the population). Sinclair is going to run into the same demographic problem.
To be fair though, it’s not that a desktop app store couldn’t work, it’s that Apple’s implementation and set of restrictions are infuriating.
