From my observations, walkable neighbourhoods can be great for disabled people. I live in a very walkable neighbourhood where there are many homes, businesses, schools, and more in walking distance, as well as bus lines and a subway station. Everything within 10 minutes at a normal pace. There is a home for people in wheelchairs (not sure of the correct term) down the street from me, and the people that live there are always out and about. Same with a man in a wheelchair that lives one street over. Same with the slow, tiny, 90-something-year-old lady that lives across the street from me. Same with the blind man who lives down the street. None of these people have to drive, and I believe none of them even own cars, but they are able to get around with little issue because they have the option to just jaunt down the sidewalk 10 minutes for most things, or use accessible transit connections for longer trips.
Northern Italy (think Turin, Milan, etc) is highly industrialized and has a robust modern economy, with global exports from fashion and finance and major brands like Fiat and Ferrari.

Southern Italy (generally seen as being south of Rome or Lazio, the state Rome is in), has far less industry and mostly relies on agricultural products. I have family in southern Italy and it is very hard for young people because there are few to no opportunities. Many young people leave for better opportunities in the northern part of the country or they leave Italy entirely, which further deepens southern Italy’s economic rut.

The Oxygen release works quite well for me. Sure, it could be a little faster to startup, but I don't know many IDE's I wouldn't say that about. Functionality wise though, I don't think it's ever outright crashed on me, and all the features I need are there (or have plugins).

Call me old-fashioned if you will, but I still prefer Eclipse to any other IDE. That said, I stick to "vanilla" Eclipse plus a handful of hand selected plugins. I try to avoid vendor-built versions like STS, anything branded "WebSphere", etc.

Note that if you use the latest version of Grails, you no longer really need a dedicated Grails plugin for Eclipse. Use the Groovy plugin, Gradle plugin, and the standard HTML editor and you get pretty much everything except for perfect highlighting, and code completion, in GSP files.
Having used both, Qt Creator is so much better than eclipse that it's not even funny. Of course, you first have to forget your eclipse habits and learn the equivalent QtC ones - in particular using the locator (http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-editor-locator.html), and the available refactorings (http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-editor-refactoring.html). Recent versions also ship with a clang backend for completion ; it also supports clang-format and clang-tidy natively, with inline fix-its that are shown automatically.

The (far) north of Italy is a bunch of Germans that happen to speak Italian and wear better-looking clothes. The South of Italy is a bunch of nogoodniks who live on handouts from the north unless they... I'm tired of overblown stereotypes already and can't find a suitable mafia-related slur.

But even though that previous paragraph was overblown there are differences. Maybe because of the Mafia's firm grip, maybe for other reasons. The Italians seem to feel rather strongly about the differences. Google for "italy mezzogiorno" if you want more.

Definitely. Generating outrage is the bread and butter of outlets like Fox News, talk radio, etc. Sadly many left-leaning outlets seem to be pursuing the same model, because clicks.
This is something we desperately need to do here, but I don't much faith we'll do it anytime soon.

Bell got 50+ years to extract incredible amounts of cash from their customers (who had, quite literally, nowhere else to go). Then it was broken up and prices fell dramatically, which sounds close to what happened in Israel?

Unfortunately, we clearly didn't learn anything from this, and we let the small companies formed from the Bell breakup buy each other up -> consolidate the industry again -> eliminate most of their competition, and we wonder why we're getting screwed again.
The town I live in now, Bend, Oregon is barely over 100 years old, which is pretty new even for the US. And yet the downtown is still fairly walkable, if perhaps not quite as much as an Italian town.

The really bad stuff only really started coming out after we got zoning and then accelerated with post WWII development.

Can we make something just as walkable and nice as those Italian cities? Maybe not, but we can certainly walk back some of the worst excesses of the late 20th century.

> other branches should clearly flow their merges only one way

I tend to disagree on this as well. The best person to merge a conflict is the developer creating the conflict in the first place, as soon or nearly as soon as they create the conflict, because they are most likely to know why the conflict exists in the first place. "Merge early, merge often."

Delaying "reverse" merges until the last possible second means you often don't have the integration expertise needed without research involved, even if it was "you" that introduced the conflict you may have moved on to other problems since and not recall why you did something one way or another, or which bits are important to integrate.

Delaying those merges as rebases I feel is even worse, because not only do you not have the resources to know why an integration needs to be made, you also aren't recording a history of the merge conflicts you saw in the rebase such that you can easily revisit the integration if you made an integration mistake (which does happen, because we are, after all, only human).

My advice tends to be to use a good PR system of some sort that makes your proper, code reviewed "forward" merges clear and obvious, and then don't worry about a mess of other merges "underneath" that top-level of strong PR merges. (Hence the key suggestion is that `git log --first-parent` is your best friend if you want a "clean" view of the DAG. It gives you a linear list of just your PR merges in master, or branch work and PR merges to that branch in any other branch.) Also, yes, CI/CD are really good ideas.

> that increase in wages does not seem to be keeping up with inflation

In economics, the "real value of a good or other entity has been adjusted for inflation" [1]. The statistic above is thus inflation adjusted. Nominal wages (i.e. those not adjusted for inflation) are up close to 30% between May 2007 and May 2018 [2], or 2.3% per year [3].

It is actually not that bad if instead of a single query, you do one query per table.

It even offsets some of the burden to the app, which is generally easier to scale than the database.

The idea is that you query the "root" table, loop over the results and build an array of IDs, then do additional queries to the other tables with a "where whatever_id IN (...)".

The Net was really fascinating for me and came at a time where I was just starting to try this internet thing.

Those early days (at least for me) of 14.4k modems and mosaic and pre-1.0 Netscape were a truly mesmerising time for me.

I was totally hooked on computers and the internet in general by the time I was a mid-teen largely due to shows like The Net so thanks for your work there (and congrats on getting married in VR!)
This is a very big oversimplification, mainly because the mafia is everywhere, probably these days they have even far more interests and investments in the rich north.

The problem is the industry presence and the type of those (south was mainly low-skilled manufacturing and agricolture, both of which are being heavily delocalized by globalization leaving almost no well paying jobs in those regions)
It only takes a dozen short comments or so even on a giant screen. And yes, almost everything is censorship if you redefine censorship to mean any random irksome thing.

Incidentally, I do think the way the comment fading works is pointedly user-hating and dumb (it's traditionally dumb, though!), but it's not really censorship. More generally, since we're talking about taking things seriously, framing forum irritants as some sort of oppression is a solid way to ensure few people take you seriously.
The issue is: what would you list as the date?

Mystery high-speed explosion 200M light-years away nicknamed the Cow
This is a straw man. Nobody's suggesting cars are "bad" or "evil". What is being suggested, is that operating cars (especially at high speeds) should be done away from where we live. Supporting the use of cars within our towns and cities is: dangerous, expensive, and wasteful (of time and natural resources).

Cars are great for traveling great distances (20+ miles) quickly. Using them for day-to-day travel within your own city is akin to taking a cruise ship out on the lake for a weekend fishing trip.
I would like to flesh it out at some point. Not sure how to go about doing the back end though. I'm currently taking a Node course so maybe after that I'll give it a shot.
I like that the researcher had a couple personal experiences with the proverbial "hot hand", as it made her convinced it was a real phenomenon and to look at it more closely. Anyone who's had it happen to them remember the moment whistfully, even decades later: You just can't seem to miss, your hand-eye coordination is perfect, and for a short time you are performing at levels way beyond normal. Then it goes away and you think, "If only!".

No idea whether "quiet eye" is the right answer or flow-state or just plain old luck, but I love her motivation.

I don't believe that. What's going to be their response when you ask them to do something on the job that they don't want to do?
The difference between a supercomputer and a data center is how "connected" the computations are; supercomputer optimizes the communication between nodes. To put it another way, a data center does a lot of work but, most of the time, for different applications (services) whose dependencies are "sparse".
How do you think the medications get to your local pharmacy?
I very strongly disagree with that. I'd rather someone be proficient with the staging index, and maybe even git stash, than rebasing. Maybe, if they are feeling fancy, `git add --interactive`, `git add --patch`, and/or `git commit --amend`.

Rebasing is a fascinating footgun. I'd rather a messy story that includes details of how someone screwed up, then fixed their mistakes, than an entire branch I need to cherry pick in a hazmat suit because a developer rebased the wrong thing.

>I think the biggest contributor is just that left-leaning people are more likely to be offended by right-leaning views.

This theory only makes sense if there's an asymmetry between left offended at right and right offended at left. I don't think that's true. At least I don't think its true in the direction of left-more-offended-at-right. A large fraction of right-wing media seems built around selling a feeling of indignation and contempt (Ann Coulter, Bill o', any Murdoch publication etc). I've seen "liberal" used as a sneer by conservatives, but never in the opposite direction.
I feel like OCaml is a language that has a lot of potential, but is hampered by somewhat gnarly syntax, a toolchain that feels utterly antique (for example, last time I worked with it, the REPL had no Readline support and had to be run with rlwrap), and lack of a good killer app.

In some ways, OCaml's problem mirror that of Erlang. The gnarly syntax is largely being addressed by Reason (much like Elixir does for Erlang), but I don't see it catching on as much as I'd like, and it still has some warts, I think.

As for killer apps, distributed data processing is something that OCaml could be great at, given that it marries Erlang's functional style with a rich type system, and there was a minor wave of libraries (for concurrent, distributed actor programming) way back in the 2010 or so, but those libraries are now dead and nothing really happened. Meanwhile, Scala largely leads that story (Akka is very popular, and Scala also seems to be the language of choice for Spark, Beam, etc.) and Haskell now has Cloud Haskell, which is modeled on Erlang. Also, we kind of need multicore for this.

(Distributed data is an area where I hope the Java/Scala world gets competition soon. A lot of people, I suspect, would like this, so there's an opportunity to rapidly gain mindshare. I don't see much happening there. Pony is promising (e.g. Wallaroo), and some people have had success with Go (Pachyderm). I don't know Pony, but without genetics, Go is a pretty awkward fit for data pipelines; witness the number of hoops jumped, and resulting limitations, in the Apache Beam SDK for Go. Spark et al rely on distributing bytecode to worker nodes, something you just can't do in Go. Not sure about OCaml.)

Sorry, should definitely clarify better - it comes down to whether you're filing a 1023 or a 1023EZ. Many events need to file 1023 due to expected annual budget being over $50K.

I'm happy you were able to get your status so quickly. It took us about a year. The filing fee for the 1023 alone is $600.

The IRS has an overview of the expected timelines at https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organiz..., though they often get backlogged by months. The filing instructions for the 1023 are also a fun read: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1023.pdf
> And some people are good at pretending to know what they're doing.

This is a very important point. I know we on HN love to complain about tech interviews but it's still the single most meritocratic interview process I know of. In most fields it's incredibly easy to schmooze your way through.

If I have to answer contrived Ruby questions every once in a while to avoid working with professional bullshitters, so be it.
Early programming jobs were highly technical but seen as secretarial in nature by scientists/engineers focused on hardware and a “how hard could it be” attitude about programming.
I would like to see sentencing (probationary or prison) for financial crimes correspond to the amount of time it would take the median American to earn the amount of illicit proceeds.

So if someone makes $5M illegally their penalty would be 5x greater than that of someone that made $1M illegally and both would vary in proportion to how many years of someone's life that represents.
> Isn't the settlement with SEC to avoid the criminal record?

No. The SEC is a civil agency which brings civil actions. Settling with the SEC does not prohibit the DoJ, or any state enforcement agency, from bringing criminal charges.
Visiting the Leonardo Da Vinci museum, I saw an exhibit where Leonardo did an urban design plan. In it, he made the street level pedestrian only. Under the street was another level for horses and wagons (cars and busses today), where each building had an underground entrance to this level through an underground garage. This seems like an elegant solution in an urban area from the man who invented the helicopter, parachute, and painted the Mona Lisa.

"Versioning/Configuration in industry that has automated some aspect of their build process to include external dependencies leads to label accumulation"

Okay, but most software shops shove all those labels into their product version, usually something simple like "ToolFoo 3.4.11".

I think that this numbering and basic "here's the binary, run at your own risk and don't call me" legacy support are enough on the vendor's part. And I agree with gp that if the researcher fails to document the top-level tool version they're using, plus the changes they made to default configuration, then it's the researcher's fault.

Don't you agree?

Much of my time is non-coding, but I don't believe you have to totally give it up. I try to leave a day per week free of meetings to code / review code. I keep some projects that, while useful for the company, can be worked on irregularly and slowly, and are not super essential to be accomplished quickly (which is why they aren't prioritized for the engineering teams).
