Decades of Neoliberal economics and systemic propaganda by self serving libertarians nostalgic for settler ideology and 'freedom' it seems has resulted in a corporate 'business only' society that is completely divorced from the practical realities of humanity.

Many of the commentators seem to be arguing against their own existence like they are robots who just turned up, no one had to give birth to them or bring them up. And its not just their parents, there is a whole infrastructure around you that took hundreds of years to build that we call civilization and culture that allowed them and you to get you to where you are.

I don't see how you can value or discuss culture or have any kind of shared existence and commonality with other human beings without acknowledging the entirety of the human condition.

When I visit it, the lower half of the screen makes a jump to the left after about 3 seconds. That already makes me feel uneasy.

In the 'Tutorial' section, everytime I click on an entry on the right, the screen at first jumps up for a fraction of a second before jumping down again.
Probably some sort of radix tree (which is a kind of trie) would be best.
do you think numbaized code written today using most of the features will run correctly on a standard environment in 20 years?
So more education is probably the answer. Too bad that home economics (as well as civics and other useful life-skills classes) have been systematically removed from the US education system. A class like home economics would be precisely where I'd expect to be educated about things like personal finances and debt.

You live in a very strange country, in the UK your dad would have had his car taken away from him and crushed... and if he repeatedly found other cars to drive without a license he would probably end up in prison.

Also mobile payment are not as widespread. When I was in PTA 2017, the market I went to just started using zapper and that other similar service. This year I've even seen menlyn mall stores advertise accepting them
How is it baffling when you literally did the same thing with credit card debt? People are generally bad with financial decisions because they are abstract and because good decisions typically require significant delayed gratification. Realistically, many sound financial decisions require putting off gratification forever, which is a hard pill to swallow.

I ended up with a decent bit of debt for stupid reasons (e.g. never filed for residency so essentially paid double for college), but was able to dig out pretty easily due to high income. Most people who make stupid decisions can’t dig themselves out easily.
As much as it's tempting to blame the author for the predicament she finds herself in, the reality is that those who offer these finance arrangements know that they're offering them to people who will be beholden to them for most of their lives. This is legal, but morally abhorrent. I don't know how to stop this trend, other than to tell a whole bunch of young people that they can't afford to learn further in the US educational system.
Ask HN: Resource to find and learn more about interesting companies/startups
I want to find out thing that I don't know yet about big companies and promising
startups. There's a lot of companies out there. But I can only find
their job posting and some relevant pages about their market, products. Those
pages usually for marketing purpose, which are not what I'm looking for.

I want to know:

- Who are they, beside the well-known names like Google, Facebook, Microsoft,
Amazon, Dropbox, Grab, Uber...
- How is their financing status?
- Who are they competitors, and how would they fight (the differences between
them and competitors, the strategy, scale, R&D) ?
- Their history.

FWIW, I'm seriously looking for a new job, where I would contribute my time to
build something interesting. During searching, it's feel like I'm learning about
building my own startup. But I don't want to. I think it better to join an
already growing company, because my network is narrow, and I know nothing about
financing, funding, etc.
Thank you, this is what I meant when I said similar to Python. Someone with Python familiarity should have zero issues with writing a Nim program and will mostly feel comfortable with the syntax.

The derivatives market only has quadrillions of dollars if you do silly things such as counting a $1m transaction buy followed by an identical sell, each performed every hour of the year, as being worth 2x24x365x$1m = $17,520 million. You can’t just cash out a quadrillion dollars from the derivatives market and buy everything else in the world economy — apart from anything else, there isn’t enough currency around to do so.

>IIRC there's no method of putting headers or footers on pages, nor page number without manually counting the lines yourself.

Good point. The BEGIN and END patterns do work for global headers and footers, totals, etc., but not for per-page stuff. You can do it yourself with some extra awk code, but yes, you have to write it. Not difficult, though. I guess it was not designed to be a Crystal Reports-like reporting tool, with report bands and what not.

>I could be wrong though. Awk is one of those tools like vi where you can use it for years and still be discovering new features.

Agreed :) Not only new features, even new uses for existing features, because, although it is a sort of DSL or little language (but a programmable one), the area it is applicable to, pattern matching and data processing of many kinds, is vast.

As many others pointed out in this thread, the fact that the reading of input is built-in to it (whether from standard input or files given as command-line arguments), saves you a bit of boiler-plate code each time (cumulatively) you write an awk program using that feature. So does the pattern-action model, with those two defaults for missing pattern or action (match all lines, or print). And again as others have said, Perl, Ruby, etc. have that feature too (the first one).
This must be the perfect HN content free libertarian retort.

The text is 100% generic. You could post it below any article that is somehow about a problem that is at least somehow, somewhat, just maybe, slightly caused by the government.

I have discussed this issue with an attorney in my state. Your argument is easier to make in court if you've started _before_ you joined, but if you start your business _while_ being employed, which is what this post suggests, your chances don't look good. Some states are more lenient or are known to side with the employee instead of the employer.

Keep in mind that under current law that forgiveness is taxable income to the borrower. So he'll still be left with one quarter to one half the forgiven principal, which by that time may well be greater than the original principal even in real terms.
The cost to do so would be so prohibitively high that it would never be worth doing. Whatever gains you got from "cheaply processing" it here would be completely eclipsed by the cost of bringing it back.

The simple rule of space is that changing the velocity of anything is the most expensive thing. Getting an asteroid from whatever orbit around the sun it's currently in and bringing it to earth would cost far more than it would to instead bring an entire mineral processing plant to the asteroid, and just sending back the bits worth a lot of money.

That's what bankruptcy is for. It's actually an elegant solution for uncontrolled personal debt. The problem is that we haven't figured out how to properly apply that tool (or an alternative) to higher education.
I think they missed one of the more valuable potential ones that I'd like to see, and it would be yet another extension of something Apple has made a pretty core selling point: privacy and security, specifically enhancing Face ID with a very natural coercion code type system. If a future Face ID 2.0/3.0 system is capable of fast and wide field enough facial and expression/sentiment recognition, then it could be possible to not merely have a binary lock/unlock based on face and attention, but add in expression/sentiment as something else as well, and give it other levels of transparent unlock. So it'd be possible for users to make a full unlock require a specific expression, or alternately (or additionally) have it recognize another expression and trigger other actions. This could at a minimum include disabling Face ID (similarly to pressing a button 5 times) or even triggering an erase, but even better could also leverage Apple's improvements to their granular data encryption system to "unlock like normal" except that apps and content the user had marked as sensitive would not be decrypted and simply not show up on the system in any way at all.

Of course this could be done with PIN codes too and I hope that would be an addition, but it'd particularly natural using faces and having the system be able to actively look for signs of distress. Apple is in a real position to do this in an extremely user friendly way and it'd be a huge boon for personal privacy and security.

In fact leveraged even farther and using more data points (even just GPS and time of day) I think Apple could make a framework that could go beyond just privacy/security and into helping everyone better handle their usage of mobile devices (which is something else they are clearly at least aware of). Imagine being able to create "views", where underneath granular key release is utilized to allow a user to make any arbitrary set of apps/data be visible or unavailable, and then be able to assign arbitrary trigger conditions for what view the phone shows at any given time. It'd be possible to have a device with personal entertainment, social media, communications and such and also work related material and hobby material and create hard barriers between all them. At work entire or certain times of day entire bits of distraction would simply vanish, totally transparently and without effort, while at home vice versa could happen. While traveling everything but a few key travel apps could go. Users could set it so that financial apps could only be accessed easily at secure geographic locations. All under the control of the owner, and it'd help with self control and information overload, allowing owners to pick the right set of data to take their attention for the right setting. And of course it'd ensure that even if threatened sensitive material could have been made unavailable ahead of time.

I'd love that, I think it'd leverage a lot of Apple's strengths and existing frameworks anyway, and that it'd be a real step forward for getting a handle on the ever increasing amount of stuff being thrown at us.

More to the point, the effort that went into making the enclosure was probably 2000+ calories--more than the yams inside. I think early horticulture is basically: Plant edible food with minimal fuss, and eat what comes up. If wild pigs show up, well, free protein.

Analysis of stone tools suggests that a wide range starchy foods were being systematically gathered and prepared for much of the Middle Stone Age (~280,000 BP to ~25,000 BP) although it is unclear whether these foods were being actively cultivated.

But is it really? Most gemstones can be made artificially these days and the price has dropped dramatically so it seems unlikely to me that mining asteroids would have much effect. The price of jewellery is much higher than the value of the materials already.

The most likely basis is that the hotel uses standard cleaning products. Or there might be tobacco smoke near the lounge, aspirin in the medical kits, alcohol at the bar or car exhaust in the parking garage.

I decided to learn how to bake a couple of years ago, just for something different to do. I only learnt a few things, cookies, fudge, brownies, but I found it quite satisfying. I also got to dump my creations on the people at work, which some of them seemed to appreciate. Unfortunately I work from home now so I don't have anywhere to offload, so I make a lot less.
One in thousand means the user is very unlikely to run into this event.

"But it's much more likely than running into a true positive" you might say.

Actually not, since the user runs into a true positive exactly when they choose a very common password. It's not random. If they only choose bad passwords they'll run into true positives evey single time.

On the other hand, that there exist more false positives than true ones is actually great, since this means you can't recreate the true set of passwords given the Bloom filter.
Maple syrup has lead, rice has arsenic, apple seeds have cyanide and bananas contain radioactive potassium-40, soy phytoestrogens can mimic estrogen.

The fact is, lots of software devs, aside from you, are employed by the large tech companies, and depending on the state, the courts side with the company.

I wish we could all collectively refuse employment, but once you get the offer, not everyone has the luxury of saying "no, I'll go with a much lower salary at a smaller company".
One example of this from the past is aluminum. In the 1850s, it was extremely rare and difficult to produce - costing more than gold, used as serving utensils in Napoleon's court, and as the capstone of the Washington monument. Now it's one of the cheapest metals.

I think you have an outdated model of student loans. There's no longer a government guaranteed bank issued student loan model (FFEL ended in 2010). Instead the overwhelming majority of student loans are made directly by the Department of Education. For better or worse the student loan issue is almost wholly about government action, not banks.

Incidentally the same is true of mortgages post-2008. Again for better or worse, the US at the present time has a highly socialized credit sector when in comes to individual debt.

Ok, so that means the remote vs local logic doesn't apply. In fact none does. The demarcations are arbitrary. Cmd is randomly used and ctrl is randomly used. Even if there is a remote vs local rule, why not make ctrl do something for local programs? Do you use a separate keyboard for your ssh and another one for email? No. The keys switch contexts according to the active program.
It is a commonplace of societies collapsing into ethnic cleansing and violence that a wave of violent rhetoric will precede the actual war crimes.
Sounds like there might be something seriously wrong with your computer, your device, network or your browser then. What’s your set up?

Thanks for the input, I am very thankful we have less pressure in our culture to follow traditional father roles.

>>> True = 0

False is now truthy and True is falsey. Note this only works in python2.
There isn't much of a market for market forces to act upon. The overwhelming majority of student loans are made directly by the government with terms and underwriting (or lack thereof) set by Congress, not competition.
Definitely. I think Apple really envisions something like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs ...being the future, and they want to get ahead of it.
I venture my guess:

Transitioning to a business role is all about connections. There is very little skill involved (MBA, years of experience, etc etc are not particularly meaningful except for middle management roles at major corporations, which still hire mostly on nepotism)

And why would one move away from software eng? It's going to be decades before it is automated away. We still have cashiers and waiters despite both professions being nearly ready for complete roboticization and automation.

Trust me, stay where the money is. The grass isn't greener, unless someone is offering you tons of money to be in the c-suite of a massive business for some reason.
Ok; my favorite awk one-liner I found somewhere and learnt by heart is for extracting "blocks of text between some starting pattern/line and some ending pattern/line"; most often, that would be "functions with particular name, with their whole body". Brace yourselves:

awk '/^func Test/{p=1}; p; /^}/{p=0}'

EXPLANATION

First of all, this is 3 separate "commands", separated by ';'. In order:

/^func Test/ {p=1}

— if line matches regexp '^func Test' (i.e., starts with "func Test"), then set variable p to 1 (a.k.a. "True").

p

— equivalent to any of:

p { print }
p { print $0 }
{ if (p) { print $0 } }

meaning: if variable p is true-ish (in case of this script, if p==1), then print current line (if action is not specified after a condition, then it's by default {print}).

/^}/ {p=0}

— you may have guessed already now: stop printing after encountering end of function (line starting with '}').
