In Dutch chess, grandmaster JH Donner was the first professional player. In the 1960s he played in the Dutch team.

The other team members got paid for playing in tournaments because they had to take time off from their jobs and obviously had to be compensated for that, but Donner got paid nothing because as a chess professional he didn't have a job.

Ask HN: What is the killer DApp going to be?
> nowadays the language is unrecognisable from the state it was in when it gained the bad reputation

I used it then (3.x, 4.x) and I recognize many of the terrible warts are still front and center.

PHP isn’t bad because it’s not new and shiny, it’s bad because it does opaque and wrong things and demands a user of the language know all sorts of inconsistent PHP-specific nonsense that does not benefit the language authors, the language users, or serve the solving of the problem of the language user. It’s not prejudice or signaling, it’s objectively deficient in ways that haven’t been acceptable in decades.

These things swing, hegelian-like. You have pompous & meaningless, empty slogans: "a culture of excellence." You can find old-timey version of this inscribed in latin on fancy old school walls and banks.

Then meaningful and ambitious slogans start: fighting poverty, changing the world, revolutionizing vegetables. It feels fresh and more meaningful for a bit, then eventually starts to sound pompous and disingenuous too.

Now, I think we'd like to hear a little understatement, soft-voice-big-stick-ish. Maybe "good services for poor people" sounds about right. Rings true, nice contrast to "fighting poverty's" overstatement, without reverting to the old cliches.

Eventually this might sound fake too, or uninspired.
Experience comes in different levels. There's professional experience, for example knowing it is stupid to use a certain algorithm to solve a certain problem and then there's life experience, for example recognizing how pitiful language bashing is.
>is he really just being happy about officially having a dick again ?

Yes that's probably exactly it. It's very easy for people who don't experience these things to say "well logically it's not that bad so why are you so unhappy?", but these kind of issues can cause constant psychological stress, and even purely cosmetic changes can make a huge difference to people's quality of life.

>how do we prevent people who are fantasizing about a sex change from deciding something they will come to regret

You can't absolutely prevent it, but it's vanishingly rare in practice, and these kind of overblown concerns end up causing far more harm by making it difficult for trans people to get surgery than they do by saving hypothetical confused cis people.

Also, for trans people who do opt for sex change surgery, it's usually driven by persistent discomfort caused by the body they currently have, not just "fantasizing" about the body they want.
The irony here is that the whole point of SIM cards originally was that it made the device independent of the network and that you could move from network to network at will. I see the value from an electronics packaging point of view, but I don't see how removing a SIM card makes it easier to move network.
Ok, it sounds like you've thought things through and best of luck with it.
How Slack became a leading communication platform
Speaking from my own experience, there's a degree of 'blending in' that is distinct from the more obvious race/gender/affluence 'visible' factors, and more to do with behavior.

I've spent quite a bit of time in various dangerous neighborhoods, cities in general and other parts of the world. In quite a few of these places I should stand out and/or be a target, being a scrawny/weak and very white person.

Yet somehow, I can count on one hand the number of times I've actually run into trouble. What's even stranger is that quite a few of the locals I'd spend time with would be bothered or even robbed during my stay with them.

The only thing I can point to that was different about these locals was that they (understandably) had a bigger fear of 'the streets', were raised in a much more sheltered way than I was, and just stuck out like a sore thumb in the way they carried themselves.

I've experienced a few occasions where, for example, the local's insistence on crossing the street to avoid trouble actually drew attention. Or they'd pull out their fancy phone right in sight of a group of 'loitering youth'. Or stop and act like they didn't know where they were going. Or make (fearful) eye contact. etc.

Could be maybe you're also better at the way you 'carry' yourself, aside from other factors that might make you blend in or stand out?

If you had children who were stateless by birth, they would become eligible for British citizenship. Also, if you live in the UK for three consecutive years, then any children born after that period will be able to inherit British citizenship from you.

This has good sides and bad sides unfortunately. There are some really questionable ideas in those comments and they're not always downvoted to death. Presenting them to the beginners on the same page as the official docs makes them trust and copy-paste solutions sometimes.

> rude, possibly libellous

What part of their claims is potentially libelous? The standard to prove libel is pretty high in the United States, at least if the target is a "public figure" (which a large corporation like Conduent presumably would be). The statement has to be factual in nature (not an opinion), it has to be false, and the speaker has to know it's false (or have "reckless disregard" for its truth or falsity, which is hard to prove). I don't see anything in the article that's likely to meet that standard.

Ask HN: Any UK based devs leaving because of Brexit?
This topic came up in another thread. I'm curious to hear what UK based devs are planning to do because of Brexit? Are you looking abroad? Or think it won't be a big deal?

I'm an immigrant living the UK. Didn't really have a plan when I was arrived but now I'm somewhat settled and married to a nice English girl. I don't think Brexit will hit us badly so I have no intention of leaving.
I mean it sounds like an alright situation in a country without any form of proper safety net.

“Suitable” is a subjective term.

There is plenty of activity within frameworks and on internals from people who are absolutely concerned with good software development practices.

Obviously it does suffer from some design issues due to backwards compatibility but is moving in the right direction.
Not necessarily. If someone pays you to do something, it doesn't mean they own what you buy with that money. E.g., your boss doesn't own your home computer.

Conduent entered the business under a certain contract and with certain expectations, and hosting a database for others might not have been part of that.
Considering we have already have cheap things to detect nuclear proliferation, such as seismic detectors that have proven effective w/ North Korea and how expensive a neutrino detection system would be to build, I don't see any marginal benefit to humanity there. Considering the fact that you would need to build a beamline for any transmission of a neutrino message and a 5 ton detector to receive it (unlikely to be reduced since it's so hard to stop neutrinos) I'll stick with my > 50 year timeline for neutrino message passing being used in any practical sense. Maybe they could put it in a nuclear sub, but the design process would take 50 years, thanks to similar incentives built into the military industrial complex.

I find the comparison with CERN (made by the Guardian article; CERN is not mentioned in the open letter) misleading and somewhat troubling.

As of 2016 (last year for which there are figures; new ones should be out in a couple of weeks) CERN had 82 research physicists on staff, out of a total headcount of 2531 [1].

The vast majority of researchers working at CERN are associates (982), users and visitors from other institutions, mainly universities in member countries. CERN's primary role is to provide shared facilities (accelerators and detectors) which are too expensive for individual members, not to employ researchers.

The equivalent in machine learning would be shared computing, data collection & labeling resources capable of competing with what Google, Facebook etc have to offer. A state-led initiative on shared computing resources might be more cost-effective than buying time on Google Cloud, but the main thing could well turn out to be pooling data from national databases. Yay?

Your user is going to find your competition anyway, whether now or after they become your customer. You can’t hide options from a consumer, even in small markets. So you may as well present the comparison, unless you’d rather your competitors speak for you.

On the other hand, an argument against it is that by acknowledging the identities of your competitors, you are psychologically anchoring your company to them. You’re saying “we solve the same problem.” But what if you’re solving a bigger problem? What if your product is so innovative and market-defining that your competition will not be the same in Phase 1 as in Phase 2? Do you want to risk being grouped into the same pool as less innovative companies?

This is actually addressing something that you cant really easily do in other frameworks (or even previously in React). The idea is to return control of rendering to the caller rather than have the component be responsible for fully rendering the entire thing. I.e. a toggle component only knows how to toggle and you can choose what goes in it. Ryan Florence has a much better illustration of why you'd want to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEGg-3pIHlE

> The federal reserve is owned by commercial banks who receive dividends.

This isn't correct by your own link's information (it says no one owns it). However the Federal Reserve is run by a government appointed group who then oversea the various Federal Reserve Banks, each of which are incorporated and have stock which is what the private banks own.

It does seem a bit convoluted though.

PHP started out as a personal project, not with some grand design to be one of the most used languages powering websites. So yes, there were things about the language that were objectively bad, and it'll never be completely on par with a language that was truly designed from the ground up, but so what?

Your knowledge and the requirements of the job should dictate the tools you use - not what's hot. If it works, scales to the extent you need it to, and can be secured, then great!

Maybe you are right and I misunderstood his question. I was under the impression that he asked whether a European governmental facility could aggregate talent in some place and came up with an example where this worked and why I believe an EAIL could work as well. I'm not sure that either of us understood his emphasis on industry.

Regarding your point: Heidelberg and Cambridge have both profited to some extent, but I'm convinced that a place like EMBL has profited Europe as a whole much more, keeping excellent talent on the continent and attracting excellent talent to the continent. Bork, Ellenberg and co. would have otherwise been long gone to the US and with them a lot of excellent scientists.

Regarding cluster formation: I agree, EMBL and DKFZ alone are not sufficient for creating the critical mass that you see in Boston and SF. You need a couple of big companies as well as the academic infrastructure to get these clusters up and running. I guess only Munich has the critical mass in certain sectors in Germany.

In all of my years doing government contracting there has always been money explicitly earmarked for hosting in project estimates and the government had to pay for it. When hosting became more than expected we sent the government the bill anyway and explained it and it would still end up getting paid (though something else may get scaled back).

I mean it's certainly possible it wasn't contracted out this way I would just be surprised.

Indeed, I think part of the problem is that the only interactions a lot of people have with trans people is with political advocacy, where people are too busy trying to deal with rampant misinformation to ever get into nuance. And people then assume this is the only form of discourse that trans people ever engage in.

Much as people like to deride "safe spaces" as echo chambers, actual safe space trans communities are far more open to discussing conflicting feelings, doubts, regrets etc. because they know people won't use those admissions to judge or invalidate them. Which is of course, exactly the point of a safe space.

(PS: The preferred term is "transgender people" or more commonly just "trans people".)

Got one thing wrong. The Conduent app came after Propel made an app.
Frameworks and their abstractions tend to evolve out of what we find people need to use in the real world when building their applications.

Context is generally a pretty powerful thing when used properly, and allows developers to build nice, readable code in more complex applications by extracting some of the complexity elsewhere, while maintaining a conceptually clean model. It's already used in common libraries like React Router, and establishing a first-class API for it seems like a good move in general.

And remember – if it's not useful for your particular use case, don't use it!
