>Why wouldn't you want to spend all the last time on this mortal earth with your parents, and holding their hands as they leave this lifetime?

Because my parents are huge assholes, are intolerable as people, and abused me during my entire childhood. So I'd rather avoid them at all costs.

>Repayment of when you yourself was born into this one?

I didn't ask to be born, I don't owe my parents anything.

Even if you love your parents more than anything else in the world, it can be downright impossible to care for someone who needs 24 hour medical care if you aren't medically qualified. On top of that most people can't afford to quit their job and their entire lives to become permanent caregivers. It's often impossible.

I have an uncle-in-law who is extremely disabled and lives in a home. It's not possible for my (now dead) grandparents-in-laws (or anyone else) to give him the care he needs.

Meta comment: "blattimwind" comment is grey at the moment. What is the point to down vote someone that has just misunderstood an arguably ambiguous expression ?
>If you have a meaningful contribution to conversation (e.g. you can enlighten us to instances where rust compiles down to inefficient or unsafe code) then make it.

This should be applied to your original unsubstantiated claim.

Rust has some features that improve safety. Writing code in Rust does not generate safe code.
Hi taneq,

repolfx's reply is grotesquely uncharitable and I was planning to just let people judge it for themselves. To clarify this one point, though, there was a semi-technical data-cleanup department from which we routinely made cross-departmental hires. My recollection is that one of the women who was hired into a junior engineering position came from there. So did the guy who's now a Googler.

If it would be helpful for you to hear more, let me know if you're also `taneq` on reddit and I'll pm you.
The downvote is to ignore it. People will still boost crap but even with a small amount of users anything will quickly get buried in the timeline.
To an extent, yes, but I'm pretty confident that it's not actually the coding that's the issue, in that I can work solo on something (even something exciting and all-consuming) and context-switch into social or family mode with only a few minutes of transition time. The "software is a team sport" aspect of a lot of professional programming is much more wearing, though.

My model for this is that I seem to have a fixed budget of sociability that I can either spend on meeting at work or on friends and family. It's pretty frustrating.
I mean the British bureaucracy has an extremely well chronicled tradition of Kafkaesque obstinacy and causing chaos via slavish adherence to rules that long predates this issue right. I believe Douglas Adams used this fact as the basis for a series of books.

Aside, Flarum's scrubber/scrollbar is brilliant and a massive upgrade to how you have to navigate a traditional message board like phpbb where you kinda guess at arbitrary pagination til you're where you want to be.

Good example of using a SPA to improve UX of a "document-based" app.

Another example of this sort of SPA improvement is when clicking on a list-view item brings up an overlaying modal of the item-detail page which is nicer when user is browsing rapidly.
“Leave” is a noun in this case and indeed a synonym of “permission”.

I suppose it can be confusing due to being a homonym to the verb “to leave” but it’s a rather common legal term (see AWOL, for instance).

English, legal English in particular, is rife with apparent inconsistencies like this one. Because of its Anglo-Saxon roots and conquests by both the Danes and the Normans, who asserted their power in part through language, there are many concepts in English for which there are both words of Germanic and Latin, as well as French origin.
What a weird submission title ("Mistakenly apply for British citizenship instead of indefinite leave to remain").

The original title ("What happens if you mistakenly apply for British citizenship instead of indefinite leave to remain?") is probably too long for HN, but I'd rather shorten it to:

"What happens if you mistakenly apply for British citizenship?"
It's worth noting that one of the supporting points here

> And Twitter doesn't have any choice in the matter, either. [...] Twitter is a public company, funded by investor money; they thus owe a legal duty to make as much money for their investors as they can

is not, strictly speaking, true. This has been discussed a few times on HN recently. (And this book The Shareholder Value Myth is well worth reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17529520 .) There's no categorical legal requirement for a company to make share value the absolute, #1 priority. On the other hand, it may be that enough people believe this duty exists that it has a sort of ipso facto existence.
Ignoring is ok, but not as good.
It's a collision between half the industry telling designers they need to know HTML and CSS to do the CSS work themselves (instead of Software Engineers, because they apparently don't want to deal with it) while the other half of the industry makes it ever harder to do so.

Consistency isn't exactly a high point when it comes to industry signaling vs reality.
It might work with Maria too. Would be interested to see it
I speak as an immigrant. I see a lot of comments not being too kind to people who aren't welcoming of immigrants. As a person, I actually do understand. Not everyone is going to like me. As an African I do wish some of this energy would be directed to the African leaders that make their countries so terrible that someone feels it is better to jump on a rickety boat in search of a better life. These African "leaders" send their kids to school in the west, they go to the west when sick. I wish all this energy against people who don't want immigrants is directed at the people who made us immigrants in the first place. My first choice is a return to my country.
I know that some of my friends from college went and did a 1-year CS masters program after their science degree. The curriculum was programming and basic CS fundamentals. I think this is pretty close to "going to university to learn programming languages" so I do think it still happens today. That said, I think the way of proving competency would still fall to projects because there are so many ways to take classes on programming these days that simply doing it doesn't mean you've learned anything.
Similar posts show up here every few weeks on HN, with similar misleading titles. Move on, nothing to see here.
The judge disagreed with you, and because the Home Office chose to treat it this way instead of treating it more reasonable it wasted tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayer money and reduced its tax revenues.

> This article attempts to paint a picture of the poor child, but the law was clear, and any emotional appeal should be invalid.

If the law is so clear, one would think the Home Office wouldn't have treated him this way only for a judge to find he should have another chance, nor presumably, would the Home Office have wrongly claimed a rule that does exist doesn't exist.

When the Home Office itself fails to get this right, it is completely unreasonable to assume that applicants will.

Others aren't much better frankly. The German process was pretty much "Sit tight, don't ask for updates...oh and it may take 2 years" (It did).
You can effectively achieve the equivalent by boosting a toot and then replying to it.
It definitely makes testing a bit different. The downside to prop drilling is that you get components with lots of props, and it can be tedious to figure out how to render a component at all if you need to pass in 20 props for all of its transitive dependencies. The upside is that you have a clear list of the 20 needed props, and once you've figured them out, your component will work.

With Redux and Context, you might have test setup code always populate the store with reasonable defaults for the 20 different data dependencies. Then, a typical test might update a few things in the store with test-specific values, render <Nav /> without the need to specify any props, and then perform interactions, inspect the results, etc. There's more going on behind the scenes, but it's also easier to get started because you don't need to figure out 20 props.

(There are many, many ways to think about testing here, though, and this is just one approach.)
I empathize with you, but I don't have any tips. Any requests to me to make MATLAB part of a distributed computing were given a pretty hard 'no'.
I moved to the UK seven years ago, and have clearly noticed a change in the time I've been here. It wasn't perfect to begin with, but there is now a clear popular attitude against non-British people. It's worse against non-white people and eastern europeans, but there is also a level of general xenophobia. Of course, this is not the prevailing situation in London and cosmopolitan cities, but it is prevalent among the electorate, and the government and civil service is slowly starting to reflect that preference.

I know people living in London will read this and claim it isn't true, but remember I'm talking about the country as a whole. Immigration is consistently ranked as the most important issue in opinion polls, and a large majority favour admitting "none" or "a few" from most countries. https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/uk...
In the US they explicitly have stopped targeting those with serious criminal violations in favor of whomever they come across.

If anything that would seem to mean fewer resources are dedicated to serious criminal situations in favor of the low hanging fruit of someone with a current address and some minor issue years ago....

Effectively this seems to be the opposite of targeting serious criminals.
> Essentially the article is complaining that the other applicants that applied before him were processed before him.

Only if you assume that the Home Office's capacity is fixed. I don't know any of the details myself, but presumably they could have avoided creating such long backlog by hiring more employees.
I love getting PRs from designers on my Vue project at work. They enjoy not having to wait on me and I enjoy focusing on application logic instead of CSS tweaking.
There are legitimate and rational reasons for not wanting a large influx of poor immigrants into a developed nation.

Using the US as an example, in the 1800's and early-to-mid 1900's, American work was largely labor intensive agricultural and factory based work. Labor was in huge demand, and as a result the middle class was able to thrive. Today that is no longer the case, and a massive rift between rich and poor is developing as the middle class collapses without an economic foundation to support its existence, this being the labor intensive industries that have largely disappeared in modern Western nations. This has been the development path of all developed nations.

As modern economies are already struggling with worsening labor conditions for the majority of their people and the resulting stresses on social programs, it makes little sense to open immigration to the impoverished masses.

This is a realist perspective. Denying the economic factors at play here will only lead to increased socio economic tension in developed societies at a time when such tension is already at a high water mark in modern history.
Thats correct Peter. Same instructions work for plain MySQL. It is a good point about MariaDB. I would test if MariaDB works good here.
Can you elaborate on the problem you see with the word "toot"?
Slightly off-topic but important mention about the RT feature. RT was definitely not the first "feature" and there were many other ones which existed. There were some factors that led to the adoption of the RT convention [0].

> The inventors of these variations were not the typical user. They posted more tweets, had higher network degree, and were more likely to describe themselves with words like “geek” and “founder”; in other words, they were the core members of the Twitter community. The early adopters were also more active and innovative. The variations spread through densely connected networks, bouncing from person to person in a way that meant most adopters of the varia- tion were fewer than two hops from someone who had never been exposed to the variation on Twitter when they first used it. This could be a general finding, that social conventions are more likely to arise in the active and densely connected parts of a community.

Similarly, my private company promoted some person horizontally, then they decided to merged two dpts together. My excellent performing one, and a larger poor performing one. We always exceeded our sales targets, they hadn't met theirs in 8+ years.

So now our sales targets are higher than both combined (AFAICT), and we don't meet them at all. Since we're a "team" now they distribute the layoffs equally across the "team".

Not sure where these sales targets come from since we aren't publicly traded. I just feel we're being setup to fail.

Anyway, people are leaving in droves (2 best salesmen left, engineering is a revolving door) since our formerly generous performance based bonus is going away.

I am the only full-time left on my project, the rest are contractors (since we have a hiring freeze, but a large budget left over for contractors for some reason). They literally cannot do releases without me. And after asking for a raise to reflect that I'm managing 3 contractors instead of coding (the former lead left), I got scoffed at and told that there was a hiring freeze (that's not a promotion freeze, but ok, except you have 100k/year freed up from the last guy that left...), and that my project isn't under as much pressure as the other projects so no. Come back to me in a year and we'll talk.

Yeah ok. Wait a year for maybe 5%. Or jump ship for an easy 20%. And no managing/lead responsibilities. Go pound sand.

The company is clueless about keeping talent. No one mentions the massive churn at company update meetings. They just go "wow, didn't meet the sales targets... gotta work harder guys! Look at all these cool initiatives we're gonna do next year!"

I keep hearing the word death spiral among coworkers. Yep.

/rant.
The hostile environment is definitely a Conservate thing though.
Calea, yes.

Smoked it, the smoke is thick and a bit... sorta soapy. Apparently the tea is disgusting.

Next two nights I'd have a lot of dreams, but also sleep fitfully and not feel well rested. Definitely an interesting herb, but not a habit I'd want to make frequent because of the tiredness. That was a few years ago now.
This reminds me of how you are supposed to keep a sizable percentage of an investment portfolio in cash, earning nothing, so it is available when the time comes to make further investments in a market downturn.
>Yes. Semantics, what things mean.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_dispute

what this expression means is that you're arguing about the definition of the words rather than the facts that those words represent. again: this isn't a debate about the meaning of `violence` or `harm`. it's a debate about whether speech can physically affect people in negative ways.

>These distinctions matter. Materially.

i challenged you already: show me one sentence whose truth value is altered when `violence` is substituted with `intentional physical harm` (note the absence of physical force).

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violent_crime

lol...

"A violent crime or crime of violence is a crime in which an offender or perpetrator uses or threatens to use force upon a victim."

>And no, incarceration isn't violence. Incarceration is incarceration,

alright clearly you don't understand how to actually have discourse; hint it's a bit different from arithmetic. and just in case you still aren't sure then you can enlighten yourself by reading this http://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/fss_papers/2708/
In this case, Theresa May presided over the Home Office before she became PM, and spent 6 years promising to cut immigration but instead of actually doing that in a transparent way with quotas etc. that would open the door for discussion about whether or not said rules were right, she instead did her best to create a hostile environment for applicants instead. This practice has continued in other areas of government under her leadership, such as the benefits system. It's a fairly uniquely passive aggressive approach to government that seems to take Kafka or Gilliams Brazil as a recipe rather than a warning.
Yup. I think a lot of this is Goodhart's law in action. You measure a bureaucracy's effectiveness by how many people it can kick out / refuse and this is what happens.

The guy unfortunately represented easy deportation points due to making an honest mistake. No discretion was used because of the above.

The practical solution is to use a good immigration lawyer for stuff like this. It sucks, it's unfair, but it's true.
This is correct - Swedes have an odd habit of leaving Sweden during the best part of the year weather-wise! Granted I'm exaggerating; many don't leave the country entirely but go out to their summerhouses for the month of July. Because most people take the entirety of July off (many businesses shut down completely for the month), that's when they take their longer trips. Stockholm suddenly becomes very quiet (perfect for me as a resident who prefers to stay in the city during this time). I hear that this year fewer people actually chose to go away than usual.
The documentation on the man page does not make that clear, if explicitly calls out specific ref types - so that makes more sense.

My employer had a sharp bimodal age distribution. I was hired during the defense layoffs of the mid 90’s, and was smack in the middle of that distribution, until the wave of retirements.

Now the age distribution is log-normal with 5 years average experience. Was just given a 25% retention bonus yesterday, which is unheard of. They are scared of the old people leaving, and rightly so.

The millennia’s job hop like crazy, and in my field there is a lot of institutional knowledge built up.

Could anyone share their thoughts about the attractiveness of a platform that says how many characters long your posts can be?

What I see on Twitter is that people are constantly fighting this limitation by writing several tweets in a row (sometimes marking them as parts of a whole message). I would think that’s an annoyance. So what’s the attraction?
Look at this poll:

The voters of all parties support these policies. What is "pandering" in a democracy? The people are xenophobes, they are getting what they want.
My point is people all over the world with high quality of life don't want to lower their quality of life to benefit others. It happens on a city level, state level, country level, and global level.

With sufficient resources, you can buy access to all countries, just like you can move to the nice part of town.
If the wait for review/decision is going to be months, there really should be some kind of pre submission check to test validity. This could be done by one’s lawyer usually, but an automated screening and/or immediate cursory validation by government seems like it would make sense. Maybe only extend validity of visa during processing if it passes the validation.
I’m not sure what you mean by this: “Writing code in Rust does not generate safe code.”

I mean philosophically you could say there is no safe code, but then what’s the point of any language improvement.

Perhaps you mean that Rust has unsafe, which allows you to write unsafe code in Rust. But technically that term is reserved for the developer to make a claim that though the compiler can’t determine the safety of this code, the developer is claiming it is safe.

Then there is safe Rust, if you write safe Rust, the guarantees that the program output is safe are pretty high. Given that no software is devoid of bugs, it’s obviously not 100%.

So do you have a specific argument your making about why Rust is not safe? Or is it a general comment about software?

Edit: I suppose you could be pedantic in that rustc doesn’t generate code, but technically it does, mir and then llvmir. That code then gets compiled to platform specific binaries.
There are R&D departments outside of academia.

But in both commercial R&D and academic R&D, some code really needs to live on for future people to benefit from it. It's just not a good use of research time for people to re-write everything from scratch... every time.

If you are doing 2d you can also do quite well with just the SDL2 wrapper. That gives you enough to do cross platform sound, input, and putting textures on the screen with alpha blending and bilinear interp. So its enough to make mario/ultima/baldurs gate/ style things.
>This should be applied to your original unsubstantiated claim.

my meaningful contribution is a first hand account of my experience with a variety of the aspects of using rust. one potentially imprecise sentence doesn't negate that contribution. you on the other hand with completely contentless sentence fragments are contributing absolutely nothing to the conversation.

If I understand correctly, HyperApp enforces the so-called SAM pattern, but that's it. Calling this "state management" seems to me an exaggeration. And why would one use a view framework to do (domain/application) state management? It doesn't sound right.
Isn't the concept of local servers making it easier to create a bunch of echo chambers?

I haven't even tried Mastodon because my understanding of identify is tied to a server rather than an email or a gpg key... so outside of your control (unless you run your own server). My understanding is that when the server you are currently using disappear, your current identity, history, etc... disappear too.

The British Prime Minister made a completely unfullfillable promise to bring down immigration numbers - despite the he country being part of the EU and thus having free movement making it impossible to hit his targets.

Because this mistake cannot be admitted the civil service is trying to hit impossible targets amd as a result cases like this occur on a daily basis as they look for any possible reason to deny an immigration case.
