Not convinced. Was talking to my 20 year old kid and was thinking he has never seen anything but crazy low interest rates for his entire life.

But I just do NOT believe things are going to change. Guess we will see.
You can get around those by not building. New construction is a considerable portion of work in these trades. My family owns a construction company and my father is an electrician. They have three times as many employees in installations as they do service.

It's the nature of the business.
I think that reaching for legislation as the tool to minmax any desirable societal metric is a bad doctrine. That does not mean I am against every possible instance of it. DUI is very immediate. It's like putting one round in the chamber and pointing it at a public space. But, for example, I am opposed to restricting speech and free association as a less expensive proxy for stopping various things.
In my opinion, The problem with Eclipse is not that it turned into a plugin framework, but that it ended up being an IDE framework.

Too many knobs. All IDEs are customizable to some degree, but they try and maintain a general sense of coherence. Eclipse, not so much.

Ask HN: Anyone have an e-commerce store?
I'm particularly interested in connecting with e-commerce owners who run their store on Shopify (particularly because of their API) but also happy to speak to anyone who has a store in general.

I do analytics and strategy consulting for a living and am interested in understanding retail data. In return for a chance to connect, I'd be happy to do any quick analysis work to help you improve your P/L.
You're right, I remember it now. I used the wrong terminology in that case. Honestly, the end result is the same. I'm sure there were reasons to use multiple workspaces for different pieces of code and the same user of the same program would still want it to look and feel the same rather than getting thrown the defaults back in your face when starting a new workspace...
Hi, I'm a developer working on VS Code.

VS Code is architected in a way where extensions are not eagerly activated by default. Each extension can declare a list of activation events, such as e.g. opening a file of a certain language, invoking a specific command, starting debugging, etc. See for example the quite long list of activation events for our built-in TypeScript extension [1].

However, we also offer an activation event called ' * ', which means an extension can ask to be activated on startup. Some over-eager extensions might be using ' * ' to start up as soon as you open a VS Code window. You can find those extensions at any time using F1 > Developer: Show Running Extensions which will show the subset of extensions running at any time, and if they were activated on startup or not.

Moreover, that view can guide you into profiling the extension host and can help you easily figure out if any extension is consuming extensive CPU. This was added quite recently [2].

US imports from Vietnam, 2003: $4.5 billion

US imports from Vietnam, 2017: $46 billion

To put that last figure into context, that's equal to the US imports from France, which has a $2.5 trillion economy (~22 times larger than Vietnam), and is nearly equal to the imports from the UK.

Extrapolate that forward, with the assumption of a slowed rate of growth. It's the exact same way the US made Japan and South Korea rich, through massive imports, capital investment, and the corresponding industrial build-out.

US imports from Vietnam will be close to equal to 25% of their entire economy this year. Vietnam's present economic boom, is almost exclusively due to the huge boom in US imports. The US is building out their industrial capability, which will spur further build-out and advancement, and on it will cycle.

China is an economic competitor with Vietnam. They of course also have a long history of not liking each other. The development of Vietnam makes both practical sense for the US in terms of manufacturing costs, and strategic sense to build-up local rivals to China (or more generally strengthening the region against a Chinese hegemony in Asia). All the US has to do is point some of its import demand away from China and at Vietnam or other local nations. China's manufacturing costs are far higher now than they used to be, they're non-competitive in many things now on cost. Vietnam has even begun to steal away large volumes of tech manufacturing, for eg smartphones.

It's further worth noting, the trade with Vietnam is about as one-way as it gets (and note that the US isn't complaining about it, that's because it's strategically desirable for now to rapidly advance Vietnam). Vietnam only imported $8.1 billion worth of US goods in 2017. So Vietnam is being showered with a flood of dollars. That will serve two outcomes for the US: it continues to bolster the US dollar's global role, and Vietnam can purchase US treasuries with their mountain of dollars, as Japan and China did and for the exact same reason.
I'm sure there are problems within dating culture - my point is 'dating culture' is itself the problem.

See my point about family values. Families are longterm. Dating is by definition short term.

People don't like short term human interactions - we want stability. We don't want new friends every few weeks, or a new job, or a new anything. We don't like change, we like change every now and again, in things that don't matter, like seeing a new movie or going to a new restaurant.

Modern societies are in a strange place where whatever is most profitable (except hard drugs), is what is 'good'. Candy? Good. Tinder? Good. Coffee? Good. 'Working hard'? Good.

It's a vector that has nothing to do with what people actually value longterm. Hence people have 'stuff' and companies have 'profit' (short term), neither have much integrity (longterm). Oh well :)

LPS?
Apologies for going off tangent but, as someone who majored in biochemistry/molecular biology (now almost 8 years in the past, which was pres CRISPR but has been reinforced by continual education in medicine) This is such a beautiful inadequacy of our knowledge.

My intro to science and molecular science was first massively sparked by an E. coli article I randomly jumped to in the early stages of Wikipedia. It talked about error correcting proteins, and versions of this and that, and I thought holy shit the cell is a computer.

As I came to understand more of molecular biology I was fortunate to find it very easy to visualise and understand not just the idea that the theories and molecular pathways we understand are an amazing set of dominos that have to fall in a particular order but also the stochastic relationship of them all - on, off, according to molecular affinities, and those are just the pathways we have been able to understand by way of intelligent experiments and human ingenuity.

To jump radically back on topic -
There have to be and are so many more layers to how the code that builds life executes that we don’t understand that it is pure arrogance to assume that we understand the system enough to perfectly execute any modifications to it. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong to look down the rabbit hole, after all, that’s all we’ve ever done
Yeah, the gnome lockscreen drove me nuts until I figured that out.
I'm fairly comfortable with VSCode and PyCharm, and recently started trying out Emacs for personal projects. I am pretty blown away by how pleasant the experience was.

It took a little bit of setup and a whole lot of learning, but I'm already reaping the rewards. Text editing is straight up faster, Org mode is really cool, and Magit is probably one of the best git clients I've used.

Also, for a piece of software that came from the 70's (?), the Mac port of Emacs actually looks and feels pretty modern.
Not really. It has interesting content and no advertising on the site.
Just so. Aggressive job-hunting is a nearly full-time job in itself.

As I said, though, from 2010-2013 I became a lot more selective, meaning it was only an hour or 2 a day.
The thing about Tinder that sucks is that you don't get a very good idea about a person from it, because all you get is a few pictures and if you're lucky, a very short free-form text session where hopefully they wrote something substantive about themselves.

However, the thing that makes Tinder great (and also Bumble, though I haven't tried that one yet) is that both parties must "like" each other for any messaging to occur. This still isn't the norm on "traditional" dating sites, for some reason. The traditional sites are bad for men, because they're encouraged to put forth a lot of effort to write meaningful messages to women, but almost all the effort is simply wasted because most of them go to women that have no interest in those men, and the man has no way of knowing this.

Tinder/Bumble fix this by forcing the woman to "like" a man's profile first, before he wastes any time and effort writing her a message. It also helps women by massively reducing the amount of unwanted messages they receive from men: if they get unwanted messages, it's partly their fault (and entirely under their control) for "liking" those men, and encourages them to be more selective with their right-swipes (so maybe they'll come up with some strategies for avoiding creeps, such as only right-swiping people with something meaningful written in their profile, and not just guys with gym selfies and backwards ball caps).
Yes, ATC specialists who are living the good life are definitely survivors. It is a specialized aptitude that not everyone has controlled by a federal bureaucracy and a union. People wait for months and years for OTS (off the street) bids, take a battery of tests, receive a TOL (tentative offer letter), and wait months for a slot at the ATC academy at Oklahoma City.

Assuming our hero passes the academy, she is then assigned to an Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC or just Center), an air traffic control tower (ATCT), or an “up-down” facility with both a control tower and TRACON, terminal radar approach control. Certifying in just one sector may take a year or two. Trainees make upwards of $30k annually. Someone who washes out may look at transferring to a less demanding facility. People also request hardship transfers to be closer to family and so on, but ATC is chronically understaffed, and obtaining those transfers takes time.

As with pilots (see another reply in this thread[0]), military ATC experience is often a more expedient route. FAA controllers tend to discount the skill and decision making of former Army controllers who mostly deal with low-flying slow movers under VFR rather than jets under positive control.

Oh by the way, our hero must get in (I believe be admitted to the academy) before her 31st birthday. The clock is ticking.

Yes, there is survivorship bias in the success stories. People wash out of other careers too. Seeing actual data on rates would be fascinating. For balance, read the “Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?” chapter of Freakonomics.

This makes sense, given that if you major in theology you are likely going to a small unaccredited school with only a few dozen or a few hundred students from very similar backgrounds.

I'd expect that if you looked at religious studies majors instead, you wouldn't see any especially unusual marriage patterns.
I assume by "pinnacle of evulution" you mean the currently most successful species in terrestrial ecosystem on the planet Earth. Surely there is no "pinnacle" to all of evolution, whatever that would even mean.

You seem to be implying that evolution is a process with some ideal, perfect outcome that can be achieved, or you're just being sarcastic. I can't tell but both are silly.

Ask HN: Fresher from non-premier college; join low paid job or try for better?
Graduating from a non-premier college in India, and the only development job offers I am getting are from small companies. If I join, I'd have to work 12hrs/day, whole week, on negligible pay(~2K-3K USD).

What should I do? Take what I get? Or take the risk and take 1 year gap?

What during the gap: study for masters entrance exam? keep trying for better jobs? do side projects? something else? what if nothing works and I end up worse than I'm now?

I'm totally confused. Would like to read your suggestions and experiences.
There is a lot of time for better chances to come along. Depending on the estimate, we're not yet halfway through the lifetime of the sun, that's plenty of time for a more successful successor to humans. And the Earth didn't even exist for much of the first half of the sun's lifetime.
Updated. Thank you!
IIRC, One of the Gang of Four was the project manager of what became Eclipse afterwards. That and the rest of the environment brought a fair share of bad design choices. Have you ever tried cooying an Eclipse workspace in a different directory, you would recognize the pain.

Reading your other posts makes me realize I might be headed in this direction. I'm going to be making silly amounts of money soon enough (at least what I consider to be silly), meaning I could retire in 10 years if I wanted to. I do enjoy the work I am doing, but this means I could go in whatever direction I want. One challenge would be to establish proper collaborations, because working with other people feels very pleasant and rewarding to me.

I don't think Spreadtrum and RDA were in any real sense leaders. Spreadtrum made money in GSM when that was going away. They also had a niche in TDSCDMA, which was forced upon China Mobile as a homebrew standards and from which China Mobile wanted to get out as soon as they could. RDA were more diversified in their mixed signal offerings, but their revenue peaked in 2012, and already declined significantly in 2013 when they were acquired.
this. I had substantially the same experience in 2009 except I was 27 at the time. I could't get a job writing C++ with a degree and 4 years experience. I couldn't get a job flipping burgers. I later learned that the reason I could't get a cashier job at home depot was because they had already fired half the floor staff and made the office staff work two jobs. A friend of mine worked at a bank, and the accountant at that home depot was complaining to him that they were training her to cut lumber. It was work lumber + accounting or get fired. Of course they were still accepting applications :/

" Its worth it to save the time figuring out eclipse."

We talking about people making 100k+ but are worried about spending a few hundred for a better tool. It just shows that the same amount of money is valued different in a different context.

Fast food restaurants typically have security cameras. Same with gas stations, mini marts, public buildings, private buildings, etc. If you pay with a credit card, you'll have records of your whereabouts during that transaction. If you have a ton of internet activity on a given day that's not proof, but strongly suggests you were home. You have a cell phone that beams your location 24/7. Of course, its not proof you were home when you were using your cell phone at home, but it's highly suggesting you were home at that time.

The main problem with the non-Western version (epitomized probably by how it's done in India) is that it enforces a very high degree of social conformity: everyone must have the same relationship model, and the same life goals (monogamous marriage, children, etc.), with very little room for variation.

It's impossible I think to say either one is "better", unless you can specify what exactly your goal as a society is. If your goal is a very stable society with everyone following the traditional monogamous marriage + kids path, and minimizing divorce, it seems that the Indian way probably produces better results. If you desire more freedom as an individual, it doesn't.

These attitudes come in cycles. If the trades are a resurgence, the children of those who entered it will be pressed to go to college, whatever that looks like in 30 years.
