I thought there's some pretty robust discussion about people who feel shafted by diversity initiatives. I do feel that anyone who speaks in a hot-headed way gets penalized on Hacker News, and I think that's great. There were a few big recent HN discussions on the matter -- are there clear instances of what you mean on the whole?
Lazy loading often fetches too little and eager loading too much. Most orms select all columns in all tables regardless of need. The query translation and hydration overhead of transforming the data into objects even in a fast language are always going to be problems, it's just a matter of how big, over a system without the orm. Since orms are superfluous, every line of code in them adds unnecessary overhead. They are indeed inherently inefficient by definition.

> Why wouldn't they just roll out their own crypto?

Roll your own crypto is playing the game.

Running an exchange is being the house.

The house always wins.
As someone who regularly rides Uber Black around SF and the S-Bahn around Berlin - you’re wrong.

You almost certainly have, though you may not be able to tell the difference if you don't actively look for it.
The Finances of Fortnite: How Much Are People Spending on This Game?
I agree it’s probably a great economy model for people who would have it forced on them (Likely Amazon and JPMC workers who will have their insurance provided by their new employer healthcare consortium).
This is so great. As someone who used to run a Hack Club, it's so exciting to see this (would have solved a lot of problems for me back in high school).

Out of curiosity, are there ever plans to expand this beyond high school?
Thanks for the clarification. My point was that this wiki page is out of date so probably not that useful. I could have been clearer that the wiki is not part of the official documentation.
I would say going to school at a time when free tuition was a thing is the privilege. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that still happens.
Reddit is and it's even worse.
Haha interesting, though in that case I'd worry about ants and such, whereas here I wouldn't, but but I guess maybe others might.

I didn't do that, it was just a similar example.
I completely agree. But being adequate-to-worse is in line the rest of their operation, and yet they're widely popular.

Every time I'm subjected to multiple dark patterns simply in the course of checking out (say, for some brand that makes Amazon their official distribution channel), I wonder why so many seem to be singing their praises. I can only think there's just a sizable segment of newly-digital suburban-hipsters, finally discovering online ordering in general and comparing Amazon to say driving to Target.
The reason I'm sticking to the Macbook is that despite these issues they are still way ahead of any competition. I'm running a mid-2014 retina. It is still way better than anything Dell, Lenovo, Asus, etc.. can get me. 4 years later and the battery still get me a solid 5-6 hours despite strong usage.

But here is the following: Apple is really improving. It is just not meeting the expectations of its demanding users (and rightly so since we are paying a premium for Apple hardware).

I remember getting sick of macOS Sierra and decided to rollback to Mavericks. Holly crap, I then just realized how much more polished Sierra is with all its issues. The external screen resolutions were screwed, can no longer answer calls through my mac, notes no longer sync and a dozen other things that I just "assumed".

These advances are probably building technical debt. But also they are what attaching people to the Apple ecosystem.

I get my airpods connected to my iPhone easily and without issues. Then I quickly switch the input to my Mac. Then back to my iPhone. Good luck getting that to work correctly on Windows software and other hardware.
> The main reason they remain one of the largest players in the marketspace is because they are one of the only "fiat bridges" -- a place where you can actually buy and sell crypto for government-backed dollars.

Fully agree and as I said, when mentioning legal reach, I think this is one area where the big 5 can compete better than even coinbase.

They will all

- obviously follow the US KYC laws

- already have huge legal teams

- experience working with government regulators

Given Microsoft's history I'm not sure why you're surprised.
Only on Hacker News would I expect to see somebody celebrating the demise of a language in the name of social progress.
I know you're responding to a different comment, but I want to clarify that I am not claiming that suburbs are unreasonable places to live.

OP said that they didn't want to live in a suburb, which is a reasonable view to have. I don't want to live in one either.
Raising children being relegated to luxury status is a symptom of an oppressive and/or failing economic system.
Good to know non shady middlemen are fine though. T-Mobile used to be “customer first” if you believed their marketing from years ago. Now they’re pretty customer hostile.
Instead of saying searched, perhaps we should say "planted." These are the same people who told us Trump was conspiring with the Russians, who used a doctored dossier to get a FISA. Until we know a lot more it should take it with a grain of salt, but if he is a pedophile I hope he rots in hell.
My goal is to tear down the premise of the title, not to compete with a bunch of commenters moving the goalpoasts farther and farther.

The real issue here is that quality urban environments in America are becoming increasingly expensive to live in. If you can't afford it, but refuse to try and work to turn a medium-sized city into the city you desire, maybe you should tone down your "why our families can't afford X" rhetoric, because it's disingenuous.
The Whole Elephant
No. Just... no.
It is a game played by the American government so the economy seems better than it really is. Another example is that large part of the GDP growth in the US is related to health care, so you get here a double effect: higher economy growth compared to other countries with socialized medicine, and lower inflation numbers when in fact it is the opposite.
They got a custom icon.
That's pretty useful, thanks!
I’ve observed a similar phenomena on articles about the wrongdoings of the US government. Well cited high quality articles about historical or contemporary US aggression overseas disappear quickly even when they had been getting upvotes.

I noticed a similar trend on Facebook. My posts about the tragedy occurring right now in Yemen got almost no traffic on Facebook, despite being worded and cited similarly to my other popular posts.
I understand the attraction of stories like this, but it's not science.

For all I know, I only got the flu this year because my cell phone is dirty. Same for my roommate and his sinus infection.

The immune system does its job extraordinarily well, but putting it to work does take a toll on your body. I suspect we'll have studies linking random episodes of mini-depression or a bad day at the gym to an immune system in the middle of a pitched fight against an illness that it eventually wins, meaning the person doesn't get sick, meaning they attribute the bad day to just a bad day.
Why? People on HN skew towards being young enough to be having babies. Why wouldn't you want them to know that it's OK to space out vaccines instead of conforming to the schedule that is pushed on them?

The author is a friend of mine and I remember seeing it for the first time. The original is being implemented in C# and I just had to port it to JavaScript. If anyone is interested, the "JS port" (more like a demo of it) is here: https://github.com/selectnull/stacktraceart
I would think one level down from React is the DOM API, and one level down from that is the rendering engine (i.e. knowing about how DOM operations affect repaints, whether repaints block the main thread, etc.

Language-wise, I'd say babel "javascript" is the highest level of abstraction. One level below is understanding what things like JSX and class properties transpile to. One level below is understanding JIT strategies (e.g. when hidden classes deopt), memory usage of various patterns, etc. One level below is understanding specific semantics of high level APIs (e.g. exact accuracy of a high res timer implementation), or regexp memory footprint by looking at browser source code.
The file becomes invisible to WSL right after it gets edited in Windows. It's because it's doing weird tricks to associate UNIX permissions to files stored in Windows. The Windows app will break those permissions so instead of mitigating that in WSL it simply stops being able to "see" the file.
Certainly not the case for a typical 100k-sized city, unless my hometown is unusually badly off. One and a half theatres, no opera house at all, an MtG community but nothing for anything smaller, most bands didn't bother going there on their tours.

Exactly there might be a lot of other factors.

For example is familial consent is required and the answer is usually yes even in Spain AFAIK.

But that doesn’t mean they are all equal the time that it takes to contact a family and get consent plays a critical role so is who contacts them as in a professional that can explain to them the process and increase the likelihood of consent being given to some busy administrator asking them that as btw....

Also are all hospitals equipped for organ harvesting? Do they have free surgeons and free surgical staff and rooms for that? Can all hospitals handle transport and distribution of organs?
How fast is donor decision can be made after harvesting?

These are all critical factors for organ donation in cases that do not involve a vegetable state patient where organ donation can be planned.

I don’t know about the UK but I have knowledge of another opt-out system in a different country and in the case if the family couldn’t be contacted in time for the organs to be harvested the reason for why not would be recorded as the same as the family refused and that is “consent was not given”.

So to me the % difference can be just that Spain is quicker at contacting the family and is more prepared for organ harvesting and distribution for ad-hoc cases in which time is critical.
I think part of this is the industry and part of it is the technology. Entire languages in the web are basically meant to be glue. Embedded usually has different requirements from Web, memory and performance are real problems you run into fast if you don't know what your doing. Where in web, memory and performance are a problem of economics, everyone is being served from a cluster that can be scaled if the software is shoddy.
Yeah he's really pulling the "don't ask permission, ask for forgiveness" card here, isn't he.

Ah, thanks.

Sometimes there’s a bit more nuance, but it does tend to come down to this. Often flagging mechanics are pointed to as censorship, or anything which falls short of engaging with someone in debate is censorship. In most cases there’s a lack of understanding that just as they have a right to say something, other people have a right to respond with a flag, or not respond at all. Freedom of expression doesn’t imply an obligation to debate everyone on every point. I’m not censoring an anti-vaxxer by flagging and moving on, I don’t owe them a debate. The government isn’t allowed to interfere in the right of anti-vaxxers to spew, and also in my right to call them morons, or a social media site’s right shut the whole conversation down.

Too often “free speech” is a messy and conflated concept used to basically argue against anyone being told to shut up. Various arguments about the size or dominance of a social media platform are often used to try and get them covered like the government under the 1st amendment. Then if all that fails, the argument switches to free speech as a vague principle rather than a legal right.

To be fair, it isn’t just conservatives who seem to feel this way either. Americans in general just seem, on average, not to understand this issue as well as they think they do.
Email Cost Calculator is a tool that helps you calculate your email marketing expenses over a period of 12 months. Simply choose number of subscribers you have, frequency at which you send emails & your subscriber growth rate and the tool will show how much it costs across different service providers & many related useful metrics.
I don’t remember the episode unfortunately. It was an episode of Software Engineering Radio (http://www.se-radio.net/)
Is mylist = []; mylist == [] really a thing for testing for an empty list? Seems very unpythonic.

My newbieish mistake was assuming (forgetting!) that NULLs aren't distinct/unique, so you can not enforce a nullable column unique and expect only a single NULL value. There is a way around it with conditional constraints ... but unique=True or unique_together is not it.

It's really an RDBMS thing, not a Django thing, but when Django abstracts away the RDBMS, one forgets.
> Home, page up and page down is just CMD + left, up or down arrow isn't it?

Back then I think that too depended on the application. I tried everything and googled it.

A kid getting good results can be a result of privilege. If their parents can afford to live in a good area with good schools then they're going to get a better education.

Additionally, I know this is UK and not US, but it does bring up other factors that economic factors can have on kid's performance: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/socio-economic-influences...
Russia worked very hard to ensure that Russian was the dominant language in most Soviet countries, and tried to stamp out local languages as much as was feasible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Russian_languag...
I’m not just talking about retirement, although that is a big one. It’s like people in Europe are fine with having no cars/boats/planes and spending disproportionate amounts of their income on heavily taxed essentials like clothes and electronics. Cheap rent and food and healthcare don’t offset that enough.

There’s no way you can spin living in Europe as being a financially beneficial choice.

It’s fine if you want to live in a 40qm flat and never have any substantial assets your whole life, but don’t pretend that it’s a sound financial decision.
if it doesn't add value to the company and make it better, kind of the same as putting the company office supplies on Ebay. absorbing team members' time monetizing company resources.
This is exactly my view as well. Every time I've used Flask, I ended up regretting it, because I've invariably needed to fit something to it that would have worked out of the box with Django (or at least integrated much more easily).

I haven't found any reason to use Flask in a project, except maybe for small, ad-hoc scripts that you want to run in a single file.
The text selection shortcuts are completely consistent on modern OS X, in my experience. At least, I can't find an app where shift+alt+right_arrow doesn't select a word.
It is very much a product of racism. Check out the book “The Color of Law” that covers this issue extensively, and even beginning with the Bay Area.

Anecdotally, when my parents bought their house in the east bay, it came with old (now invalid) covenants that literally said no black people could live there unless they were servants. The house was built in the 40s!
For a react developer I'd say one level is understanding reactive design and maybe how you would implement it in pure JavaScript without react. One level below that would be how you would implement JavaScript and maybe a bit of knowledge how the engine works and shadow Dom.

You’re just trolling now.
Downvoting falls under soft censorship. The term is loaded and has many contexts. Wiki has a good article, it's worth a

And to those downvoting this discussion, thank you for proving my point.
All text entry works with emacs keybindings on OS X without having to poke at a setting. Or rather, one setting per toolkit:

I didn't say anything about not liking Linux keybindings. It's a minor issue for me personally.

That article isn't a "smoking gun", it's quite literally biased propaganda by a paid member of a campaign!

A blog post (not journalism!) by a paid member of a political campaign infamous for its loose relationship with fact and truth, quoting other paid members of the Campaign, to push a particular message that the campaign has been aggressively pushing...

I mean, dude, what the fuck. How can you call what is literally campaign propaganda produced by two members of a partisan campaign PR department a "smoking gun"?

I'm at a loss for words. What is happening to Hacker News?
These are great tips, but maybe they should be on separate pages so Google has a better chance of matching them up to search queries?
Well, Tesla is transitioning from luxury cars to the mainstream ones.

Secondly, how about reducing our reliance of fossil fuels and instead using electricity for driving the cars (I know, I know, electricity comes largely from fossil fuels, but net, it is beneficial to use it for driving cars than gas)? That's not going to benefit the common public?

CVS owns the 2nd largest prescription benefit management provider and is purchasing the 5th largest health insurance provider. They will be able to use differing co-pay levels to drive pharmacy business.

Walmart has been negotiating either a purchase or partnership with Humana. This may drive Walmart to be more agressive towards finalizing a deal or maybe even have them looking at a different potential target such as Cigna which has agreed the purchase Express scripts, the largest PBM.
I understand that; however, with respect to reading, they practically have one language and additionally, Mandarin (Beijing dialect) is taught nationwide and is a strict requirement.
The benefits of vaccines overwhelm the problems, and yes, the anti-vaccine quackery of the last couple decades has made legitimate discussion impossible. It's a similar situation to states' rights, a term which 160 years ago the violent, racist yahoos of the confederacy and their supporters forever poisoned, despite it being a concise descriptive term for lots of legitimate issues.
> If you can't afford it, but refuse to try and work to turn a medium-sized city into the city you desire, maybe you should tone down your "why our families can't afford X" rhetoric, because it's disingenuous.

If a software developer likes Berlin and wants to live in a city that provides a similar lifestyle then how do you propose that they turn Des Moines into something that provides a similar lifestyle to Berlin?

If there is any disingenuity in this discussion it's in equating Berlin to Austin or Dallas or Kansas City or Des Moines or Detroit or Tampa or Miami.

Those are perfectly reasonable places to live, but they are not substitutes for Berlin if you want to live in that kind of place.

Edwards’ lawyers got involved in May, claiming Tesla’s appropriation of the farting unicorn was a clear copyright infringement. “Please don’t take this as a shakedown,” Denver attorney Timothy Atkinson wrote to Tesla, according to a report by Denver-based alt-weekly Westworld. “What we are seeking instead is a discussion, and a mutual decision in a way to value the past and continuing use of the image, in a way that both sides can feel good about.”

So, if you are rich enough, you can steal someone else's work and then they have to apologize for seeking some kind of fair treatment and assert that it's not about the money? Give me a break.

Elon's reply to the effect that "we made no money on it" is not cool at all. It is some variation of "ugly American" (and only because I can't think of a similar but different phrase evoking privileged and ill mannered) but about rich people, I guess.
Um... "nasty smells"? How big of a problem is that really? I'd have a hard time placing my laptop in a bag of kitty litter. Don't doubt that it works though.

The next two years or so will be really exciting.

Rust is beginning to understand that they need more stability and LTS versions, and libraries are blossoming nicely.

Ocaml already has a very mature module ecosystem and is now becoming safe and modern.

I think rust will still have an edge in adoption due to its portrayal as C++ unfucked, but ocaml is definitely the easier tool to work with, imo. And maybe that will change.

I don't think even linear types and multicore would be enough for ocaml to make any significant dent in the systems programming world. Rist and C/C++/D/Zig all do memory management too conveniently, and it opens doors too close to the bottom for ocaml to keep up.

Any ocaml hackers: would you want to write system drivers in ocaml? Why/ why not?
yes, it does, sadly. See https://www.theverge.com/2016/10/20/13343682/fake-apple-char...
