Aside from Signal and Telegram, is there any worthy alternative?
I think this is a huge part of it. Even something as simple as free high-quality condoms or emergency contraception (morning-after) can make a huge difference when money is tight.

Even better would be free birth-control medication or IUD's, as these put the birth control in the hands of women, while condoms especially might not be used in the face of social pressure.

Ask HN: Anybody still writing JavaScript that does not need to be transpiled?
I enjoy writing js code that does not need transpiling. To achieve this I do rely on underscore, backbone, jquery; yes in 2018. It also mean I just have to ctrl+r my browser to run things.

To minify my code I use Google Closure Compiler. Because I dislike the npm toolchain.

But I do wonder if I should not "get with the times".

Also I don't actually know where to start if I want to use a "modern" web framework. Because one is spoiled for choice and they move fast.

I actually want to invest time into the Google Closure Library or another more established/old framework eg, dojo, ember, or even OpenUI5. Is that taking a step back?

Currently my relative advance web app ways in at 1.4 MB(app and libs) which gives you spreadsheet like editing and filtering(slickgrid ftw) with crud ui's generated from json-schemas.

So I want to ask the HN community: Am I alone in the way I think?

edit: I don't want to be a front-end dev, unfortunately it is a necessary evil for webdev atm.

> If they hadn't agreed and the issue had been brought to court, the $400 million number almost certainly would have been enforced.

In the Netherlands, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Law says that the person signing the contract needs to be fully aware of what they're signing. If they can show an e-mail which shows they were expecting 425, it's completely up to the lawyer and will depend on context of the e-mail etc.

I don't think it was up to Reddit. Some providers offer no way to do MFA without mandatory SMS involvement in some way -- either primary delivery is by SMS or you can "reset" / get back up codes via SMS.
I think America over uses the "Just toss money at the problem" approach.

In the case of education I do agree more money is needed.

For something like health care, massive reforms are needed.
As an example, I recently got a letter from T-Mobile (my carrier) saying they noticed an increase in number transfer fraud recently and were urging everyone to set a PIN on their account to prevent unauthorized transfers. It does happen.

> 20% on interest

Based on what I know, a large portion of the loans have very small amount and short duration. For instance, people want to borrow 1000 CNY for a month and pay back 1020 afterwards. That's already 2% per month.

EDIT: The reasons they need such loans are more complicated. Some needs money for emergency. Some uses the money to buy stock/cryptocurrencies...

EDIT2: P2P platforms typically take money from the deep pockets and subdivide into tiny loans. They earn the interest rate difference (e.g. 20% from users vs 15% to capital providers).

> high defaults

Empirically the default rate is very low. People pay back on time if you call or just text them. Honestly if they don't pay, it's totally fine, and the P2P platforms just don't care, because they earn so much money...
I like the assumption that the 5+ kids are all just due to irresponsible people popping children out and not, say, the results of generous people fostering family members who would be in even worse situations otherwise or a mother who is being raped by a partner.

As I replied in that same thread:

> I tried Flow and TypeScript for the first time a few months ago. Flow is absolutely abandoned and dying. TypeScript is taking over where Flow left off, and is far ahead of the game by now. I use TypeScript with create-react-app in my client work and it is invaluable and a wonderful experience, with no downsides as far as I can see.

To add to that, the only reason I can see to use Flow in 2018 instead of TypeScript is if you already have a large project that uses Flow and migrating to TypeScript might take a few days. But even then it's probably worth making the switch. I have noticed a much smoother experience and much better integration with TypeScript than with Flow. And there are many type errors that Flow never caught no matter how much I tried to configure it right. Existing code bases may have these too. Even more reason to switch sooner than later!
Some people use "patina" to describe the acquired appearance of items which have aged gracefully.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patina
that sounds like a great way to just force out the people who's kids are benefiting.

How about trying to strongarm the government into actually giving out the damn funding.
To clarify:

By "static analysis" I mean anything you can learn from studying source code without running it. (Though, with Agda this isn't a clear distinction; maybe we could talk about what we can extrapolate about whatever the compiler didn't evaluate.)

I was speaking of testing broadly to include manual QA and running benchmarks. A continuous benchmark will give a graph of the system's performance for certain actions. It's typically not pass/fail, but if the developers notice a regression they can investigate. These slowdowns just aren't correctness bugs as commonly understood and many places don't notice performance issues until after the code goes live and it's noticed via monitoring. (Benchmarks are tricky to write, tricky to run consistently, don't generalize, and miss a lot of things, but nonetheless measure things that static analysis doesn't even try to do.)

"Vast majority": I guess this depends on what you put in the denominator? I can certainly believe that Agda programmers don't see performance issues. But I'll confess ignorance: is this used for anything other than doing math?

I'm thinking more along the lines of: if a more mainstream language had totality checking, what bugs would this actually find in the code that runs in data centers? Plenty, I'm sure. But I can think of lots of things it wouldn't. It's one method of bug-finding among many.

Seedlang | Front-end Developer | Berlin | REMOTE, FULL-TIME | Salary + sizeable equity

Seedlang (http://seedlang.com) is a video-based language learning website that can be thought of as a combination of the best parts from Duolingo, Memrise, and Youtube. We create small stories around grammatical topics, split the sentences of the story into flashcards, and embed grammar into the subtitles of the flashcards. It's a really unique experience, and so far the response from the German-learning community has been great.

We use React / Mobx in the front-end, and Rails as a API server in the backend. I'm looking for someone to help with adapting our current codebase to React Native, so React Native eperience would be great. Interest in (spoken) languages is a huge plus! :)

Remote is totally fine, though Berlin is preferred.

Contact me at jeremy@seedlang.com
Definitely. Often adding more hardware is justified because developer time is more valuable, but if you're wasting the time or resources of thousands of users, it shouldn't be acceptable.
I agree. I use the command line for everything but staging, and I often only stage parts of files while discarding a few leftover pieces I forgot about. I use sourcetree, but the concept is the same. GUI git is really nice for staging parts of changes. And then I usually commit via the GUI too, since I'm in there anyways.
>a huge amount of the money spent on benefits are used just for administration.

I think a lot of people way overestimate the administrative costs. For example U.S. Social Security administrative costs are around 6 billion a year. Sounds like a lot but it's only 0.7% of the total cost of the program[1]. Sure there's a handful of different programs all with their own costs, but it's maybe 20-50 billion a year. That's not that much considering UBI might increase spending by trillions.

REMOTE (Worldwide) - Open Source Developer on Open edX - Python/Django, Javascript (OpenCraft - Fully remote company incorporated in Berlin)

Development specialized on the free software project Open edX, used by many universities and companies to run online courses. See edx.org, stanford.edu or fun-mooc.fr for examples of Open edX instances. We are 20 senior developers, all working remotely from Europe, North & South America, Asia & Australia. The company is not affiliated with edX, but rather contributing and working with them on various projects. This is a full time position, were you would be able to work remotely from anywhere you want, as long as you have a good internet connection. : )

The Open edX platform is a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture (a lot of the edX engineers come from MIT). You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, MIT, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are very varied, from developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working fullstack, operating our service infrastructure, improving our hosting platform, etc. You won't get bored here.

Most of your work is published as free software (Open edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing most of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.

You can read more about how we work in our handbook, at http://opencraft.com/doc/handbook/

Stack: Python/Django, Ansible, AWS/OpenStack, Debian/Ubuntu, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, Elasticsearch, JS, HTML/CSS.

Nice to haves: Terraform, Vault, Packer, Prometheus, ELK, Docker, Android/iOS. We are building a modern infrastructure and having a strong DevOps presence on top of core software engineering skills is a big plus with us.

Interview process: a 30 minutes Hangout with a (simple) coding exercise.

Banks want you to finance via credit cards and run a balance. They know switching costs are high. A credit union might get you an unsecured loan but probably not. Banks are extremely risk adverse to loan even to cash flow positive companies/persons except via credit cards.
> should taxpayers be paying to give violent criminals a work-free existence?

If doing so significantly reduces the recidivism rate (which I strongly suspect it would), then yeah, I'd say that be an easy 'yes'. I wouldn't be at all surprised if $X in free money given to ex-cons translates into much more than $X money saved by society.

Getting mugged costs a lot more than just the money that was in your wallet. There's (often) medical bills, there's police officers to pay, there's lost productivity due to having to replace ID cards and whatnot, etc. If someone then gets charged with the crime, the costs balloon even further as you deal with further police costs, jail time, time for taking the case through the courts, etc. And if they get convicted, there are even more costs associated with that.
About to post dirty words that seemingly get me downvotes dispite HN being a place for discussion...

I find samsung quality medium at best. They charge top of the line prices and have really bright phones and TVs... However their hardware has broken multiple times and their smart TVs are annoying slow for something you pay 1,000 USD for. (my grandpa bought said TV)

Then Apple, oh boy, either Apple has a marketing team that patrols HN or they have rabid fanboys. It is never good for consumers or developers to have proprietary hardware and development kits. I dont understand the relationship between Customer and Apple. Customer constantly gets screwed and they love it. I dont understand it, maybe its a comfort/reliable thing, but in 2018 use-ability seems pretty standard in every phone/app.

Maybe this is true because profit feeds itself, a company gets big and uses that to get bigger. The bigger the margin between revenue and profit, the more successful=more TV ads=more profit.

I find this a very frustrating situation for everyone who has Apple or Samsung products. But it looks like there is no end in sight, and Samsung has a very active Reddit marketing team that will downvote/destroy anything negative.
It is really even that. Just because it may not be logical or make sense, family bonds amd familial love are still a thing, even in families with lots of problems.
