Async and Await in Rust: a full proposal
PLEASE READ: For all the people that complain about why or why not you want to use it, it won't change anything, the module is still gonna be here. So... please don't complain. The things I would like you to do if you don't see any use of this module are, first, just don't use it, second, don't complain, because other people are going to want to use it.

"Even atheists"? Are atheists pretty evil, but not quite this evil? Are atheists well-known for being anti-freedom? Why "even atheists"?
definitely difficult, but using nuts and bread would probably be the way to cram the calories in.
Who reached out? Is it a partner or an associate? If it's the latter, realize that associates screen deals and partners fund companies. So, temper your response accordingly. You want to get to the partner ASAP.

Be careful using thefunded. It's much better to get references on the partner, not the firm.

They are looking to see if you have momentum and match their investment areas. What problem you solve, proof of whom you are solving the problem for (target market(s)) and the growth story. That's all you should go into, at best, for an associate screen or first call. If you hit those points and are a match for the firm, you'll get a partner interview if they are really interested.

Don't indulge too much fact finding. Worst case, they have a competitor in their portfolio or they are vetting another company for investment and you happen to be in the same space.
Come up with a method that lets you reliably produce working software with only junior developers and you will probably become the world's first trillionaire.

A process for creating good software with only mediocre developers is not a realistic expectation. You are always going to need some more experienced people for the juniors to learn from.
Nobody (or near enough) follows the recommendations of those governmental bodies anyway. People in France say "DJ," not "platiniste," and "hashtag," not "mot-dièse."
Learning how an OS works really is not quite important, except for a very small minority concerned with that field. That defeats the entire purpose of an OS, which is to provide an easy to use interface between hardware and software. I can't imagine telling anyone in my family this, and having them take me seriously. If they even understand what I just said.
This is bad. I get that religion has taboos, but religion also has an influence on morals. Yes, there are ways to be a good moral person without the Bible, but are we really giving people agency and the ability to choose if they are sensored? Human rights are human rights and as a human I should have the right to obtain a Bible if I so chose and live the consequences there of.
It is not really about gentrification. It is more about music and culture. It ends with a beautiful story about Willie Nelson.

Clever (YC S12) Is Hiring Software Engineers in SF
We are a small Design + Dev shop in NYC. We charge around $30k to build an MVP. One recent client said she found an outsource company who can build her site / web app for $1k. Im like ok so you don't like the work? whats the problem. Our rate is $125/hr PP. I told you that from the get-go. She said, no but i paid $30k for a site / web app and i see a bunch of other companies paid way less. Im like you drive a range rover ( top of the line) Why don't you goto range rover and say to them, I can find an indian company to build me a range rover and why the F*%K should i pay $150k+ for yours? See what they say and that is my answer. It seems to be the case its hard for "some" customers / people to understand the value of what you are offering. That is why you cannot compete on PRICE. Inevitably these people with an idea want to build an app or have an idea ( its like a disease here in NYC) and have NO CONCEPT or CLUE and when they goto upwork ( name your third world provider here) they get ruined. So now off the jump i say to new customers / clients this is HOW MUCH we charge and you can go F#!K yo-self if you can't pay ( well not like that its in my mind, but you get what i mean) i keep it professional. I have changed my approach to getting customers. The first thing i do is explain that we do not outsource to 3rd world. We live and work here in NYC. This is what we charge so we can eat and if you do not value our work, no one is forcing you to work with us and you can go outsource your work to a 3rd world country ( outsource) and find out for yourself. After educating the client , they now want us to build new features AND even gave us another gig. We live in NYC where everyone is a gangsta. Ha ha! Real-talk.
Supply and Demand Does a Poor Job of Explaining Depressed Wages
I'm sorry, I should have written "whatever apple says is the only logical conclusion" to appease the fan boys lol. Forget English language, or standard bodies...fake news :P
There's an entry point in the BBC Micro's OS that's routine that prints a character, or LF+CR if the character is CR (13). This routine prints the CR second, so that when it was called with 13 originally it can fall through into the main, non-translating character print routine with 13 in the accumulator, and then return to the caller that way too. (These two routines promise to preserve the accumulator.) Saves a couple of bytes in the ROM.

(There's also an entry point partway through the wrapper that just prints a newline. DRY and all that.)

The code is not exactly this, but differs from it in no relevant way:

.osasci \ print char, translating CR to newline
cmp #13:bne oswrch
.osnewl \ print newline
lda #10:jsr oswrch
lda #13:\fall through
.oswrch \ print char without translation
pha
...
pla
rts

The Atom's ROM does the same thing, so they presumably just copied this for the BBC. After all, it doesn't really matter which order you print them.
well, I know several people who can already buy their model 3 according the upfront fee scam and they still can't buy the base model.
Cruise control on my car actually gains me about 1 mpg. This is specifically because the car "knows" that the speed won't be changing much so it locks the torque converter completely and drops the engine RPM by 100~200. Many of those things are direct results of the mediocre Ford implementation of the 2005 Five Hundred CVT and the fact that it predates Adaptive Cruise Control, but it has a physical reason and follows directly from new assumptions in the code only viable from the state I put it in.
> This seems to me to be a clearly incorrect (and self-contradictory) claim.

I guess that means I was able to pull the wool over the eyes of all five members of my thesis committee because none of them thought so.

> It entirely depends on your definition of failure.

Well, yeah, of course. So? There is some subset of states of the world that you label "failure". The guarantee is not that the system never enters one of those states, the guarantee is that if the system enters one of those states it never (well, so extremely rarely that it's "never" for all practical purposes) fails to recognize that it has done so. Why do you find that so implausible?

It's meant to be a question and answers site, if they want it to be a reproduction of the manual they should just link to the actual manuals. I feel it completely defeats the purpose of having a community to help others if it's not meant to be forum-esque.
The Heathens!

It's been spiraling down for a while now. I know quite a few Chinese who moved from China to the U.S. now, while they can. A couple of them are LGBT, where it was made clear they weren't welcome - even with PhD's in Chemical Engineering and Physics.
They got that way, and keep it that way, by doing things like this.
As an atheist i can't even see why they would ban it. It's a mish mash of traditional views, fallacies , contradictions and stories. Studying it should teach you see all these things.
I get that, but this product development aimed at prolonging life, comfort, and safety through technology should not be taken lightly without this discussion right here (ethical discourse, as you call it). I can't divorce the two in my mind.
The paper targets an adversarially selected encryption scheme. Thus perhaps any would work, though I sort of doubt this based on my reading. In addition, the paper supposes that the two parties should be able to communicate using a normal-ish public/private key method.

Based on the quotes below I belive paper relies explicitly on the GE channel's hardness to break:

"On Our Modeling Assumptions. Our model considers a relatively powerful adversary
that, for example, has the ability to choose the encryption scheme using which all parties must
communicate, and to decrypt all such communications. We believe that this can be very realistic
in certain scenarios, but it is also important to note the limitations that our model places on
the adversary.

The most obvious limitation is that the encryption scheme chosen by the adversary must
be semantically secure (against third parties that do not have the ability to decrypt)."

Later:

"All known constructions of such undetectable random string embedding rely on the sampling
of a public random seed after the adversarial strategy is fixed. In this paper, however, we are
interested in bootstrapping hidden communications from the very ground up, and we are not
willing to assume that the parties start from a state where such a seed is already present."

" We begin with the following simple
idea: for each consecutive pair of ciphertexts c and c0, a single hidden (random) bit b is defined
by b = f(c, c0) where f is some two-source extractor. It is initially unclear why this should work
because (1) c and c0 are encryptions of messages m and m0 which are potentially dependent,
and two-source extractors are not guaranteed to work without independence; ..."

"We overcome difficulty (1) by relying on the semantic security of the ciphertexts of the
adversarially chosen encryption scheme. Paradoxically, even though the adversary knows the
decryption key, we exploit the fact that semantic security still holds against the extractor, which
does not have the decryption key."
Merchant fee - cash back = net cost to consumer
Won't the capital gains only be owned when people try to convert to fiat currency in the first place? If you're leaving your stuff in cryptocoin form I don't think you would pay capital gains.

So this is only a problem for the people cashing out, and if they've cashed out then they should have the cash to cover their tax bill.

And this assumes they didn't cash out to the Cayman Islands account. Probably not a lot of capital gains will be reported to the IRS this year for cryptocoin related profits.
I have ABS kick on around once-twice a season. I mean, sure, if you live somewhere it doesn't snow you won't even experience ABS, but if you live in a climate where it snows you definitely will.

That being said, it's always been while stopping for a light, not in a case when I had to swerve, so its never prevented a crash for me, but it really is comforting to have it.
How hard would it be to add support for calling Python scripts, so an advanced person could use one of the many internet articles on Pandas scraping/etl/mashups to pre-process some data before bringing in as an excel table?
Not what the OP asked, but:

Initially, I really wanted to use Guix over Nix, but Nix is more mature with more packages, maintainers, and features.

Last I checked, for example, there was no equivalent of a channel or overlay in Guix. Their npm importer was also not released, whereas Nix has a very usable node2nix.

Having done virtually no functional programming, learning Guile Scheme was also a barrier to me, but the Nix expression language felt a lot more natural for whatever reason.

It's unfortunate - I'm very interested in the work in reproducible builds and substitutions Guix has done, maybe it'll take off at some point or those features will be integrated into NixOS.
> That's a very unfortunate choice of words.

Solid lol, but I stand by it!

> Maybe you are an exceptional driver, to be able to be vigilant at all times even when AP is active.

I've had driving moments I'm not proud of. But it's because I was being dumb, not because Autopilot made me do it.

I think the relevant question is: does Autopilot make people less attentive? I have no data on this. My personal experience is that most drivers are already inattentive, and Autopilot (1) makes it easier to be attentive (for a driver who chooses to be); and (2) is better than the alternative in cases where a driver is already inattentive.

> Even so, it would probably only take one instance where you weren't in time to change your mind on all this (assuming you'd survive) so until then it is a very literal case of survivors bias.

I hope I'd be more thoughtful and independent than that, but maybe you're right. But I don't think my view in the face of a terrible accident should be what drives policy, either.[1]

On the issue of survivorship bias, I would add that "Man Doesn't Text While Driving, Resulting in No Accident" isn't a headline that you're likely to read. I see a much greater quantity of bias in the failure cases that are reported and discussed than in the survivorship stories told (as evidenced by the proportions of comments and opinions here, vs in a user community like TMC or /r/teslamotors). I posted my experience because I think it brings more to this comment thread in particular than my survivorship bias detracts from it.

> Which makes me wonder how that person that died the other week felt about their autopilot right up to the fatal crash.

See: [1]
I suspect the parent is referring to imperative package installs, i.e.

nix-env -i firefox

This does create an immutable copy of Firefox in the Nix store, but it's not reproducible in the sense that the profile state isn't captured in a Nix expression.
Christian churches played a major role in the end of communism in East Germany.
I'm sure you worked very hard on this. It works well for what it is, and it looks polished. This would be something need to include in a portfolio or work sample. However, if you're serious about starting a business, I'd caution against it.

1. There are already a ton of similar sites. I see one on HN about once a month.

2. The "Icon + Text" approach is rather limited. I think it targets the very bottom of the market, who aren't very savvy about branding. I suspect that market segment is already well served by free logo services.

Wishing you the best of luck anyway.

EDIT: Didn't realize this was an addon to an existing website builder, and not a stand alone product. In that case, forget what I said. This could be a useful value-add
I think they meant that it is evil; also atheiest-- people who do not believe in any religion, would not do such a thing.
It's bad because of censorship, not because of any supposed good influence on morals by religion.

They are afraid of other power blocks and that's what churches really are when you strip away the veneer.

You can still see this all over Europe, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Ireland, England, Spain and Italy have very powerful religious entities, and in many other countries even though the religious fractions are not quite that powerful they still have lot of power to influence politics and life in general.
We're about to re-evaluate our billing system for StyleCI and as we're based in the EU, we'd love to give this a go. My email is james [at] alt-three.com
I think just because atheists don’t tend to care for the book. But yeah we’re typically less in to banning books than religious people so it is an odd comment.
> The Facebook offices I've seen are filled with posters and messages that are more inclusive and respectful across different cultures and minorities.

Most cults use positive imagery to keep the flock drinking the kool-aid. All these posters indicate is Facebook's desire to keep their developers believing that they're working for some kind of altruistic company looking to "improve the world".

One thing is sure, if you're hanging on to the past you'll always lose in the end.

That's not to say blockchain is the be all and end all, but constantly hunting for arguments why something will never work , is not only terribly boring, but IMO the most counterproductive way to look at anything.
Rereading this, I see what you mean in the sense that if dealing == "fixing the fault", but tolerating == "keep going in the face of faults". So yes, you are right -- Raft doesn't fix the faults. One must still fix the network, replace the node etc. When I wrote "deal" I meant "tolerate the fault", but I think "deal" meant "fix the fault" to you.
that's cool!

lack of thunderbolt is getting to be the problem though
And yes the US doesn’t always treat foreigners as welcome either. :-/
That requires including the header. It's probably included in one of the other headers you included, but that's not required by the standard.
Which languages have fewer vowels than English?
Why "even atheists"? Historically, atheists are not even close to the biggest aggressors against Christians. That would be other Christians, probably followed by Muslims (during the ascendancy of the Caliphates).
Ditto. No flash drives except for special ones distributed by the IT department, and even then it takes a few months of reviews to get one.

But we go one further — no development on the LAN. Develop on another server at a different hosting company, and only deploy on the production host when thoroughly vetted.
Athiests (the community) are known for being outspoken about the damage that certian religions have caused and are causing, but they're also known for supporting the free exchange of ideas including those that they think are harmful. Atheists (the definition) aren't known for anything because atheism doesn't demand any specific behaviors.
Atheists have a reputation for being anti-religion. This certainly isn't inherent to Atheism or reflective of all Atheists. However, I have met many Atheists who were highly intolerant or disrespectful of religion.
One of the things I've heard mentioned by professional driving instructors, without a good citation, is that many more accidents could be avoided if people trusted ABS more. Specifically, when you're braking hard/panic braking and the ABS kicks it, the shock of the rapid firing against your foot causes you to back off pressure on the brake pedal. I was specifically instructed to stand on it anyway to see what the car behaved like when truly panic stopping and maintaining pressure, but I definitely had an instinctive reaction to let off of the brake when the ABS kicked in. If you're ever in that situation, press harder, don't let up!
I think a tech demo is in line with this thinking - selling it first doesn't mean there can't be anything of substance. It means you didn't invest a year of your life taking the tech demo and making a full-blown product out of it before showing it to people. I think many products have substance that people would buy but the execution is way off and it makes it unappealing.
It is unethical to ship non-essential/luxury features containing known defects which could lead to someone's death.
If you're already exporting to CSV, why bring it back in for the graphing? There are plenty of decent python graphing libraries. Or if you hated all of those, you could always just use R, which will make basically any graph you could ever need (...and do the data analysis for you too).
I think you mean "there are ways to be a good moral person even with the Bible," ?

remember that every religion teaches intolerance to other beliefs. if not directly by simply suggesting it is the only truth.

> I think the relevant question is: does Autopilot make people less attentive?

There are large bodies of knowledge about this gained from studies regarding trains and airline pilots and the conclusion seems to be uniformly that it is much harder to suddenly jump into an already problematic situation than it is to deal with that situation when you were engaged all along.

Norwegian here, can confirm. I can speak to Swedes pretty easily with them in Swedish and I in Norwegian. Danes, despite the fact our languages are written about the same, are really hard to understand in speech. It's much easier to just switch to English.

Going further, I've found that the mainstream Swedish dialect is probably more mutually intelligible with the mainstream Norwegian dialect than some of the more obscure regional Norwegian dialects (and I say this as someone who grew up speaking one of those regional dialects).
The US Government has granted NOAA that authority over American companies and the things they put into orbit.
