Ask HN: Best way to join large code projects
As a software developer, I sometimes need to join different existing running projects.

Most of the time we use Java, where polymorphism, inheritance, and reflection make it a hell to follow (even with a debugger). Most of the code is not documented of course.

Approaches and relevant programs would be welcomed
SQLite is a data structure. The process of finding things on disk and atomically updating them is not as simple as it sounds and is about 90% of the work of a database.
It sounds like you’re optimizing for doing the most work and spending the most time learning, but in my experience, it’s better to optimize for quality of work and quality of learning. You don’t do that by staying in overdrive all the time. Taking time to relax, reflect, and assimilate really is necessary to keep your creative mind functioning well.
It is something very common in France. Most city enforce strict rules when it comes to their "historical" city center to preserve the look.
Even changing windows has to be approved by the town hall to preserve the look of the buildings.
Where I live, I am not even allowed to hang something on my balcony.

It make the city center usually very uniform and, arguably, beautiful, but it can be annoying to live in.
If you read the page carefully, they will waive the fee for anyone that uses the link. Assumption is they will be generally pushing this out via marketing channels that target women. Regardless, its a very nice thing for them to do!
Need legal help. Dcf in ma admits to hurting my infant son. 7 days old
Now have all attorneys agree but dcf says no. They violated Johnson and Johnson 2016, acquired flat head. Placed in no English house, denied basic visits per state fed laws, 3 judges, one I hired as an attorney but he became a judge. They hurt my son he has rights. As do I and his mother. Improper notification. They admit they hurt him. They put him in a non English speaking home away from his hew England farm he is 4 generation and dcf made me move or else, everything is recorded with permission. We have had 2 judges, we have never spent the night with our son in 14 months. Someone please help. I am not under contract. They charged me with allegedly working for the CIA when I was to young. They threaten met entire family and keep lying. They other reason they took him was because he was a marijuana baby and that happens to all of them. Now once again all the lawyers and judge lobby and dcf says no after they emailed an offerer that was accepted then negated and said o this email was a mistake later in week at court. I'm just a loving father who is seeing a system that is broken and operates with 7-8 degrees of sep. liamda spires asked me if I was competent...and told my mother to choose her 35 yearold son whom just started another chapter to their 50 year old organic farm. Our 72 hour hearing was 6 months. Everyone on the fathers side and mothers sides all have held top admin, pro athlete, specialized security, government contracts, to man good citizens are being hurt and the very core of our constitutional right to work live have a family with support have babies,

This is sexist. They should also allow Introverted Males WithOut Rich Parents to form a company for free.
It is very difficult for an IMWORPs to start a company and raise funding these days.
How many IMWORP CEOs are there these days? Probably close to 0.
The worst part is that people make no distinction between IMWORP and EMWRPs even though we're the opposite.
There really is a different mentality when it comes to startups.
When I think about any of my ideas I shoot them down because I can't see any value in them longer than 5 years or diminishing returns.

Can anyone recommend some good reading on where the value comes from or how it can be created?
> this would decimate the market

I realize this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't necessarily view this as a bad thing in aggregate. The market's been doing great lately, and it's largely been on the backs of the working class for the benefit of people who've had the money to capitalize on it.

It's been over inflated for ages - if a shitty market is the cost for more equitable distributions of income and more humane workforce treatment, I'm game. I have the sneaking suspicion an arrangement that forces companies to focus on the long term well being of its workers (who, it's worth pointing out, don't want to deal with a job search, and such both want higher retention and for the company to not-fail) rather than short term stock price fluctuations will probably be for the better in the long run.

> cause large amounts of frivolous lawsuits

We already have that.

> She's announcing this merely to pad her resume before running in 2020. It doesn't have to be feasible, just needs to sound good.

I actually agree with this - It's definitely to grab headlines (which it did) and there's no way it's passing in the next 3 years. That said, this is pretty much straight from the Tea Party playbook, see: ACA repeals in 2012-2016. Oh well. And anyway, I'd be happy to finally have one president in the white house whose main goal isn't to cater to corporations - it's been literal generations, and looking at the current state of the general US economy and the world, not for the better.
I finished reading "Deep Work" recently (book mentioned in the article) and have started using this time-blocking strategy to great effect.

The book also suggests scheduling time specifically for distractions, the idea being to turn the situation on its head so you have something to look forward to rather than something to avoid.
Well that's depressing - Queensland currently sitting at 3rd last. Given our agriculture is also a massive emitter (beef cattle the biggest earner), we are really not pulling our weight.
Solar & wind + batteries isn't enough, you also need a stable source of energy to compensate when the production is going down (those are not stable sources), if you are a country without good hydro possibilities, your only option for that is nuclear.
What's interesting about your examples (Place d'Italie, Montparnasse, Berges de Seine) is that these neighborhoods are considered as the ugliest and seen as mistakes from the 1960/70s. They were part of projects to rebuild the whole city, along with highways that would cut through Paris. I'm pretty sure everybody today is happy those plans were cancelled.

It's no wonder we're kind of vaccinated against towers... I could add to the list: place des fêtes, Olympiades, les Orgues de Flandres...
It's hard to describe the context of the situation but it was more of a funny moment. We hashed something out as adults.
Fake news creators pay to promote their clickbait content. Content that plays on people’s fears. Of course people are going to click on it. Then it reinforces the algorithms that are designed to show it more often. It becomes a feedback loop driving crap to the surface. This is happening everywhere. It’s the evolution of social media driven by algorithms to maximize profit.

The better question is: why doesn’t everyone leave these platforms?
Yeah, the perpetual state of war and the drone strikes that coincide with that that America has gotten itself into is concerning. Still, I would strongly argue that there is a world of difference between the sins of America and China about targeting family members.

The third parties (i.e., children or wives) that are killed in drone strikes are surely collateral damage. America isn't targeting these people. (I'm certainly not arguing that it's right.)

China has shown on many occasions that it is willing to use the relatives of people it doesn't like as leverage. I don't know if it's because it has a long history of it [1] or just because it's effective and China isn't constrained by the rule of law. There have been many cases where the relatives of journalists working overseas have suffered [2], and Liu Xia was under house arrest for almost a decade because of her husbands "crimes" despite never being charged herself [3].

>You're moving the goalpost and earlier insinuated that tunnels for subways require lining and other fire suppression systems. They do not. The automated sprinklers are needed for stations, but not the tunnel itself. Same for standpipes.

I haven't moved the goalposts whatsoever. My original comment, which you replied, to, specifically said that a significant part of the cost savings of this project involves the differences in station construction. Stations have always been part of the discussion.

I think you may be confused by the terminology. "Tunnel" does not mean only the trackway where trains travel. Subway stations can also be part of the "tunnel". This is why in my earlier comment I specifically said that "some tunnels require water sprinklers" - because the tunnel parts that are stations require them, even though the tunnel parts that are trackway do not.

>The insulation for cables are a given, because you will need it for ALL tunnels. Not just HV cables, but ALL cables, including fibre and low-voltage cables.

Sure, and the fact that you need significantly less cabling for this tunnel means that you will save on having to insulate those cables.

>Does Tesla's existing autopilot system using LIDAR/ultrasonic cameras have automated collision protection that does so without having to communicate with the other cars behind it traveling at 120mph to 150mph?

Yes? I'm not sure what the point of this question is. Tesla's current autopilot functions every day relying only on cameras and no communication with surrounding vehicles. If anything, the fact that you're removing the variability of cars on the road and will only be interacting with other skates makes this less of a problem.

>How? If the total length of the overall tunnel is the same, the cost of materials are not substantially different.

The total length of the tunnel isn't the same. In my above example, 500 ft vs 1500 ft.
I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but you can use 'xdotool windowresize 0xabcd 1920 1080' to resize an arbitrary window, 'xdotool windowmove 0xabcd 0 0' to move a window, and you can use 'xwininfo -root -tree' to get a list of all windows and the window ID which you would pass to xdotool.

If you want to write it yourself in C using Xlib, you can use the 'XMoveResizeWindow' function. You could use 'XGetWindowAttributes' to get the size of the root window.

I'm just not sure if you need a window manager to handle the dialog windows. If you do, I would just use Blackbox.
Reminds me of the TV show "Counterpart"!

That has nothing to do with comparing imagined pain to real pain. You and your wife experience different degrees of real pain in the event of a bee sting. Imaginary pain doesn't come into it.

>It's a subjective experience, and therefore if you truly imagine it, it exists.

Nope, I can imagine being in pain without being in pain. Similarly, taste is subjective, but I can't satisfy my appetite for chocolate by imagining eating it.
Very Bad, after this, i am going to remove Stripe integration from my website.
> If you are mid-30s [...]

That's an oddly specific case. But as I said, digging into the exceptions will always find something to support any point of view. I'm looking at the overall situation. In most cases the degree can be compensated with work experience.

> Plenty of people have been admitted to MS programs without a BS/BA [...]

This of course is entirely up to the program. Most PhD programs require both, some require only one. What I said is that I (personally) see this as a natural progression. Skipping one will have to come with a damn good reason attached. Like exceptional performance otherwise.

> MBA programs are no different.

Again, personal opinion, I trust the MBA program the least of all. I have seen so many people (including a lot of colleagues) dish out several (tens of) thousands of Euros to get an MBA while still in their 20s, with only some mediocre team-leader over 4-5 people for 2 years experience behind them that I simply cannot put any kind of weight in that achievement.
where is that? I also live in Germany with time constraints...
Nope, this is called affirmative action. Equality is a different thing and affirmative action is a possible way to try to reach more equality.

Image it like Norway allowing electric cars on bus lanes. It's a way to reach a goal and can be phased out once you have gotten close enough.
Looks like this post is angering some people so I will mention it looks like the promo is regardless of gender? Aside from the header "Stripe for female founders has invited you to join Stripe Atlas." there is no suggestion that gender is a limiting factor for the discount.
Random question: has anyone seen a neopixel-compatible interface LED in a tinier package, like 2mm square? Would be great for some applications.
Why is it based on gender and not financial ressources though? I'm fairly sure there are women who can afford to pay $500 for this service and men who can't, sounds like yet another unnecessary divisive PR move that no one needs right now.
I was wondering about this as well. Did some googling. Saw many articles about how there is a strong demand for male nurses. Found nothing about special incentives or other benefits for being a male and entering nursing. Maybe they exist but don't show up in the top of the SERPs.
Yes sure, once the primary token is lost, the backup should be used to login into all of the services we used the primary one for. But it's not worse than if we had a regular U2F token as a backup: we'd have, again, to login to all services and revoke the primary token manually.
I'd strongly suggest using Elixir for this but then I'm a bit of a fan boy ;-)

Does this apply to those that self-identify as female if there is a dollar in it?
But it's unrealistic to assume you get the same quality for less money, it would sink their normal masters business right?

How does that logically follow? Different people have different learning styles and are at different points in their lives and careers. The rigour of the material is orthogonal to the channel of delivery
Sorry but you (plural) are moaning about a very badly thought out processor architecture for which no hardware other than tinkertoys exist, to the point where one could equal it with the Rust evangelism strike force. I’m really sorry that is the case, especially when I think back on how awful the assembler mnemonics of RISC-V are, and how all the work being done could have made so much more difference if it had been put into OpenSPARC, as if we didn’t have enough ego trips and repetition in the computer hardware space throughout the decades already. Why reuse all the work and refine one CPU design when one can just sink countless hours of one’s life into inventing it again, right? Sorry but that is just awful. You (now in singular) will never get that time back. I silently weep for the wastefulness of humanity inside of me when I think upon this debacle that is RISC-V.

My grandfathered AT&T plan is still unlimited data, no cap, but they aggressively try to get me to change it frequently anymore, and recently started charging me some legacy maintainence fee. (I’ve had essentially the same plan since 2007).

I guess the roughly equivalent move here would be for a nursing school to reduce or waive certain fees for male applicants, based on a desire to encourage more men to apply, enroll, and ultimately enter the nursing field. It’s not immediately obvious to me what the public reaction would be.
You know what would have been a much better move?

Stripe Atlas waives the one-time $500 company formation fee for everyone.

Stripe could then generate back the $500 in credit card processing fees by bolstering those startups, which wouldn't have otherwise existed.

Edit: I see where the confusion is.

The title is: "Stripe for female founders has invited you to join Stripe Atlas."

That's the reason for the reaction.

However, at the bottom.

"Stripe Atlas will waive the one-time $500 company formation fee for anyone that uses the link below by October 15th."

I applaud this. The copy should have been read a bit more carefully!

Although this article has been flagged. I would welcome clarification by Stripe!
"If we ignore China it will go away" hasn't worked. I doubt Google can re-enter the market and be successful though. Their local competitors are well entrenched and Google doesn't offer anything new.
Yes, I quite liked this about Rust's `Result` and `Option` type and using monads in general but I don't think Golang could achieve this pragmatically without generics.

Ah yeah, Leo Editor. The Lotus Notes of the outliner-world. That thing is as powerful as horrible. So full of good ideas, and such a garbage in implementation.

On the good side stands the ability to have an programmable outline, paired with a good enough editor to handle the content of nodes.
Then there also directives, which are basically special commands for inline-usage. Things like @wrap to wrap lines, or @language <value> to define activate language-specific handling for the following code. @language is especially useful because you can combine several in one node. Finally there is also the relativ open ability to customize things with python. All of this combined a regular workflow I still use with Leo is to create a node with several @language-blocks on a node. One for code, one for data, one for Documentation. Then call a selfmade-function which extracts the code and data and executes it and save the result in a new node in the outline. Very useful to transform or generate data on the fly. There are also directives to load/save external files, with support for some fileformats to automagically handle the outline.

But then again, on the bad side, as a dev I must say the whole projects has a horrible stench of foul code and ugly design. There is a huge amount of features which either work bad, don't work at all or even work in harmful ways (dataloss). The codebase is just a ragtag-compilation of random ideas from people which seems to have no clue about proper software development, and who are even proud to have come up with some shit they consider as smart. For anyone who wanna try out this software: don't except to much, and prepare for many hateful corners and a steep unnesseccary learning-curve. And save your data! Often.

That is a very, very different thing. I guess no electric vehicle will mind being told "ah, you're a woman, you had it so easy, you had everything given to you" after its lifelong work. Women will be hurt by this.
There are thresholds and regimes for many things in life. And Stripe probably thinks that there are so few female founders, that to get to a healthy state of things they need to "affirmatively actionize" them.

I don't know if they are right or not, but it can be argued that to correct hundreds of years of negative discrimination you need some positive discrimination.
What makes it "for female founders"?
Couldn’t agree more.

Nil exception handling is horrible in go. The thing wasn’t designed to handle pointers and blows up left and right once someone tries to use them (or untyped objects).

Dependency management is a total mess.
You mean like your comment?
