Eh. They've defined rules that say you can't count cards. If you do so, you aren't playing by the rules, therefore you aren't allowed to play.

It's slightly odd to set rules that define what you can and can't do within your own mind, but it's not out of bounds, just hard to correctly enforce. Lucky for casinos, they don't care about correctly enforcing, they just care about making money. They're happy to let you count cards badly and lose money, and they're happy to kick out people winning a lot, regardless of whether they are actually breaking any rules.

It's sort of like cheating at playing Marco Polo. Sure, you're capable of opening your eyes when people can't see, but doing so is cheating, and calling out people you suspect of cheating but can't prove can be somewhat common.
Yikes. So long first party serving.
People read these kinds of comments as "pull yourself up by your bootstraps!". There are impoverished people who probably cannot do this. But if you're middle class, and you're healthy, you almost certainly have 0 excuse to not be able to retire.
You sound like my sister. By the way it was not me who downvoted you. I didn't upvote you either though, lol.

I grew up around the tone of superiority that you are, knowlingly or not, expressing. It really just sounds like you blame the poor for their own poverty.

That's kind of niave. For one, the economic conditions in our country have changed. So managing to save now is a little harder than it was in the past. Another thing is you blame the poor for being too lazy to do this long list of things but if your hatred were actually sincere you would have had enough introspection to realize that growing their own food is not something they are capable of doing. etc.

The class gap is widening and it's not pretty.
The main issue is that Americans have much more house than Europeans do. The three-car garage McMansion with double-height ceilings and a double-height foyer is a ridiculous amount of space to cool down and heat up for a single household.

> So their choices were either to add full-fledged variant records to the language (which would complicate matters a great deal, since full-fledged variant records mean that types no longer have a static size, which is a rather fundamental concept in C++),

Variant records (or safe unions, or enums-with-data, or ADTs, however you want to describe them) can absolutely have a static size: they're the size of the largest variant, plus the discriminant, however you choose to store that.
Respect to you if you are raising your own animals and treat them well and give them a quick death. It's not easy, but I think that is what it should take when someone wants to eat meat vs going to the store and buying a pack of meat, which is completely disassociated from the animal itself. Or if you make an effort to buy from local farmers where you know the animals had a good life.

And yes I know the happy farms do exist, i.e. farms where the farmer truly cares about the animals and where the animal has to only suffer at the end. But those farms are rare and meat from those farms are expensive and we can't feed the world with this.

The reality is when you need to breed Billions of animals a year - you just don't have time for animal welfare for most of those animals.

I think in the UK alone 8Billion animals are killed each year - according to Viva [0]. I can't even comprehend that number.

There are factory farms in the EU too - and compassionate world farming is trying to campaign for better treatment for these animals [1]

I've been curious about how to pay people for their datasets.. I feel like research into that is really interesting.. what would be great would be if you could essentially pay known trustworthy sources for vetted data, and those sources would essentially crowdsource the data by literally pounding the pavement or parsing through difficult to parse datasets.. I mean entire businesses are based upon that, so I could see how this gets out of hand quickly where somebody wants access to a dataset but does not want others to have access to it. But anyway, I wonder if people have studied the "how to pay people for datasets" problem where you get good quality data that is not gamed to just be maximizing profit, but at the same time people have an incentive to collect the data.
Sure, but humans have immense ability to rationalize their own behavior. I highly doubt this is a pressure comparable to profit seeking.

Furthermore, SV is a bubble, and FB is one too. Why would you think there would be pressure from outside the bubble if they only hire people who are enthusiastic about FB to begin with? The people playing golf probably share a world view from the get go.
You appear intent on blaming the Islamic kingdoms for the downfall of the Eastern Roman Empire. It's not at all clear that they would have flourished in the absence of Islam. It's likely they would have been swept aside by the Mongols.

Even otherwise, you realise that the body blow to the ERE wasn't struck any Muslim army. Constantinople was captured and looted by Crusaders in 1204, apparently on the Fourth Crusade. Though the Greeks recovered Constantinople a few decades later, it was a shadow of it's past self, left with the city, north Western Anatolia and parts of the Balkans. The Ottomans ended the empire in 1453.
There are several perl extensions from language support, general debugging etc. Though this can probably be improved, I think it has a lot of the same challenges that Ruby support has. A limited user base, and a comparatively flexible language.
1. Org hosts physical web server at www.example.org.

2. Google directs user to www.example.org.

3. User sees url as example.org and notes it down.

4. User needs to visit example.org again, but for some reason it doesn't work.

5. User goes to coworker who shows him that example.org does in fact work (hidden www).

6. Endless confusion ensues.

This is bad UX decision on Google part (on top of it breaking published standards)

(I think) I'm anhedonic and it's interesting to me that you can get pleasure out of just the music. To me, it's nice to have things on in the background, or to watch people do something they love. Sometimes, when the lyrics of a song are good and the setting is right (like when driving) that's good too. Like, you can sway the car to the beat, and that's fun. But otherwise, I dunno, there really isn't anything there for me, it's the same as a washing machine, or a desk fan, or the birds singing. I've twiddled with a guitar before, and getting the chords right is pretty neat, but more from a 'look, I did a thing' sorta way. I think I've felt the hedonia before, but only a handful of times, and only in extreme environmental/psychological settings.

If it helps, I REALLY like to dance and have alright rhythm, but I like the dancing not the music. Dancing without music is just as enjoyable to me, personally, but I understand that music hides a lot of the sounds my body makes and that makes it better. Something about the swaying is fun to me: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/01/opinion/slomo.html

I fail to see “dedication”. Anyone getting paid minimum wage and working sub hours for a non career job is not going to be highly dedicated to a position. While I’m not against unionizing, I am against the rise of unskilled labor assuming that an employer owes them something. Unionizing isn’t inherently bad, but unions do tend to exploit both the laborer and the employer for the union’s gain. Failed labor unions combined with a workforce culture that feels owed is ultimately hurts these workers in the long term.
At my previous job we used it for a fair amount of analytics for our SaaS clients.

That brought some memories. I calculated that Spanish football quiniela had a little more than three million possible results. Since you could make multi-result bets, only a few thousands boletos were needed to make a sure win. The rules required to manually fill the bets, but it was workable building a robot.

Then the government, that was not happy of paying a percentage of the profits to football teams, introduced loto and prizes plummeted.

I’ve noted that the most fulfilling jobs tend to pay the least. Are all minimum wage jobs satisfying? No. But I’d bet the average social worker is more dedicated than the average engineer.

Furthermore, after having talked to several employees of whole foods over the years... I think there’s higher satisfaction there than elsewhere. People enjoy doing things well, even if it is an every day thing.

Most people don't care about the location bar.

Everytime they want to use Facebook, they type 'facebook' or maybe 'facebook login' in the location/search bar.

And to get to their gmail account they might type their own email address in the location bar.
Yeah some of it has just gotten too silly, especially the notifications of ín your 'neighbourhood' which aren't even in my city. Maybe this is based on US car culture, I don't know. But they're notifying me about friends who aren't even really friends, going to an event I wasn't invited to and have no interest being, like a colleague from another department going to a barbecue with his highschool friends in his hometown I've never visited in my life and is an hour away... as an event in my neighborhood.

Just no. And it's not even on my timeline or something, it's an actual notification, the ones we use if an actual human being sends you specifically a one on one message.
At that point, you're throwing away the space optimization opportunity that the paper is talking about in the first place.

> If you want to profile a multi-threaded application, you must give an entry point to these profilers and then maybe merge the outputs.

It basically boils down to (currently) doing multiprocessing profiling is a giant pain in the ass, you have to manually attach the profiler yourself if you ever launch another process, and every profiled process produces it's own output file.

It's not impossible, it's just very annoying. I've been vaguely meaning to write a thing which attaches to the fork() call and automatically starts the profiler in the child-process, and handles aggregating all the results back to a single output when all children exit.
Wait there are downvotes on HN?
I find it completely ridiculous and totally regressive that you have to live in Australia to receive your state pension. It’s like a final FU to the workers who have spent all their life contributing to it.
Perhaps this analogy shows better why master-slave could be offensive to some people:

My Vanguard 401k home page has this helpful notice in the dead center of the page:

"We think you need $7,840 more per month."

Sure... That makes two of us. I guess it's extrapolating my current salary out and how much I'll need to save to live with the same income after I retire. That's not going to happen.

Here's a helpful article to see how far behind you are in your retirement: https://smartasset.com/retirement/average-401k-balance-by-ag...

I'm 46, so I should have about 3x my annual salary in savings (I don't) and be putting in 8% of my salary into a 401k.

I'm going to go back to not thinking about this now like I usually do, as there's little I can do about it.

"Neither Damore nor Eich deserved what happened to them, and it's disgraceful (and, of course, discriminatory/racist) that such things happened."

I find it incredible how many people are more upset that those two got called out for their crappy views, and don't care at all what the actions of those two meant to the groups they targeted. Suppose you were a gay person working at Mozilla. How would you feel if you found out that your boss thought that you were not deserving of basic human rights?

"Would you blame them ?"

Yes, I absolutely would. Because they're adults, fully capable of taking responsibility for their own actions.

"Engaging with them is the only way things might happen."

No, it isn't. Because they do not engage in good faith. They do not debate in good faith.

"That's difficult, takes constant effort, and will require people to sustain insults"

The fact that you refer to what they're saying as merely "insults" says a lot. They are questioning the very right of these people to exist. They are questioning the ability of these people to be in public. They are questioning the idea that these people are entitled to basic human dignity. That is not just an insult to be sustained.

"Breitbart and Infowars are more than big enough to grow their audience organically."

Then they don't need the megaphone of Twitter.

"This act of censorship is doubly counterproductive even. Before we had very concrete things to point at to show how despicable he sometimes is ... and now we don't. "

This is directly contrary to your previous point, which was that they still have their own websites to get their message out.
Of course they should, tell them to contact me, I will teach them a thing or three. My info is in my profile. The issue is they wouldn't give me their capital because they are scared.

I have come across people who are almost as good as me as well. They don't work in finance, have no finance experience, but they beat the most of those brokerages and are self sufficient, and work from home without a boss.

Anyways, there are many people who are doing what I am doing, to think they are not is not well thought out. Everyone who claims only experts can win are just not doing themselves a favour and the person listening to them.

I.e. Ignore the noise and get to work. There is money to be made. Just open your eyes, there is money to be had.

My teammate and I got really excited about pagerduty to replace our phone calling, slack messaging, spreadsheet reading slackbot. But at $29/user/month there's no way in hell management will sign off on it. We are at that point of growth where we need this service but can't justify the risk when we have something ths clunky but basically free.

I wish there were more creative pricing models to get us in the door somehow.

The problem is that our support structure, being a smaller newer company is that everyone grabs a paddle and rows. So for a 50 person company 30 are support on-call staff all with small windows of operation.

so much emphasis on melody. I find the answer is that music is a more true language than any that are spoken.

This is all conjecture by the way which is shaded by my own beliefs and experience.

melody is one part of a trinity. equally important are rhythm and harmony. I believe that rhythm, melody and harmony relate to the body, mind and spirit respectively.

Rhythm is analogous to our physical form and not just in the obvious sense of our heart beat but indeed every atom of our being has a rhythm all it's own and they are in sync one way or another with every other part of our body from microcosm to macrocosm.

a coherent melody matches our thoughts in a way that can convey the colors of emotion. indeed lyrics are often set to a melody and convey thoughts and emotions together in a way that's so natural that it is sometimes quite eerie.

harmony is how melodic threads relate to each other. our spirits are also the most adequate way of relating to others. harmony is the basis of all combined human endeavour and spirits are what allow us to define relations beyond familial in an abstract way in which we can intuitively find our own place.

Show HN: We Build Landing Pages
Introducing my latest project, We Build Landing Pages.

https://theredbit.github.io/webuildlandingpages/

Excuse the blatant infancy of the project but I take 'releasing early and often' pretty seriously. The goals of this project are to...

1. Build a solid network of clients who need landing pages while learning how to run a business and to help earn funds to survive while I search for a job. Long story, I'm in a rough spot and I'm trying to get on my feet.

2. Build and release open-source tools and foster the growth of a community based on this work to help developers write landing pages that rock.

I would be thrilled to have feedback of any kind at all. Feel free to check us out and if you know someone looking for a landing page for any purpose, suggest that they get in touch! We're not claiming to be the best. We're looking for easier clients at the moment. As we progress and learn on this journey, our value to clients will go up. Persistence and patience is the key.

Things will be changing and growing a bit, so stay tuned! I appreciate your time.
You probably can’t. Best you can do is eat really well, exercise, and meditate.

That being said, most software today is written without the benefit of quality code analysis or regular linting. There's likely a distribution problem to be solved as well.
What is lost in the discussion of retirement ages being bumped is that life expectancy has grown by two decades since the retirement age was introduced in the USA in 1935 [0][1][2]. The retirement age was originally past the point where most people died.

I don't personally understand the expectation that average people be economically sustainable while jobless for two decades+. It makes sense to me to slowly increase the retirement age.
I hope the irony is not lost on you.
> We could mark deleted rows with a "david star" tag and then run the "holocaust" process on the tables to remove them from storage.

That's not really analogous.

Master-slave refers to a power relationship. “David star” (even more clearly your pre-edit “Jew") is a clear reference directly to a specific people, and “holocaust” to specific historical events.

> or what about saying "castration" instead of "sandboxing".

Aside from being a horrible metaphor compared to sandboxing...what about it?
Ehh this might have been true 10+ years ago, but most people are more savvy than that today.. I think you are describing something that is less and less common (which may explain why Google is trying to encourage people to keep doing it).
