It'd rather reduce complexity. It'll make Go code less ambiguous leading to fewer bugs that you'll have to spend your time debugging. When working in big teams on big projects you better describe your intentions clearly.

Yes, you can hide state behind interfaces and opaque types, but you don't take into account, that the implementations of those types and interfaces need to be reliable as well. An interface with read-only types, for example, can declare its methods immutable enforcing an immutable receiver type on the implementing functions which makes sure that it's always correctly implemented and doesn't mutate its object for sure! A field can be declared immutable to make sure it remains immutable after the object is initialized, and so on. Immutable types allow you to better express your intentions when implementing something because in a month from now you'll be a different person too and you won't remember certain implementation details like "why you shouldn't mutate this inner slice in this struct" etc.

The whole concept is actually composed of 5 fundamental rules that are relatively easy to pick up. It also shouldn't be compared to C++ or even C style const qualification, because it's easier and safer.
Thank you, you're adding more concrete verbiage to my suspicions that my calculations were too naive: I was only doing classical, pre-General-Relativity, calculations. On such large scales, the dynamic nature of spacetime itself would play an important role. Especially if, as evidence suggests, gravitational waves travel no faster than light.

We waste food because we can. If industrial agriculture and distribution were less effective, there probably would be less food waste. And there would probably be lots more hungry people.

I am using Docker for Windows, the problem I'm solving is I want to produce Docker images from within my WSL. I don't want to do all my work using vim/tmux from within WSL, only to open a Powershell window to actually build the container.

So I have to set up the strange hack I described in order to use docker inside WSL as a client to Docker for Windows.

As a user I beg of you not to sacrifice usefulness and features for Pretty.

Seen way too may times where stuff was rewritten to look better but usability suffered.

Case in point: Walmart recently redid their self checkouts. The new system looks a lot better and I like it if it did not take 3 times as long to pay. It even took forever compared to the old one to register cash being inserted. And there were several complete lockups.

Recently it seems better so I believe they have been working on the back end but for a while I would not even touch them
> Imperfect Produce claims it’s saving the world by reducing food waste—and helping farmers by buying surplus “ugly” produce that would have been thrown out. Sounds great. The reality is that this produce would have otherwise gone to food banks, to be redistributed for free.

So I feel for the social cause, and I think the business ventures should be much more up-front about what they are and not masquerade as something else, but let's be clear that buy buying this less than perfect produce, they are helping growers, including small growers, by allowing them to capitalize on more of their crop.

Ultimately, if you want your social cause to not be a victim of market forces, you either need to work yourself into the market correctly, divorce yourself form it, or find a segregating line that works.

If they were taking monetary donations, or allowing write-offs of the produce at full price (something that conceivably could be supported through targeted legislation), then they might be more competitive here. But since they relied on drowers giving them produce that had little or not value, which now does have some value, they'll see the market respond like anyone else.

Again, this doesn't excuse businesses masquerading as social causes (which is nothing new, even if it is loathsome in the worse cases), but this article isn't exactly presenting the case in a balanced light either.
We'll probably let the price hang eventually, but an open market would actually result in the writers getting paid less.

How to run..

After I first started running and losing some weight, I became enthusiastic about it. Then with the notions of 'more is better' and 'no pain, no gain', I cranked up the mileage and pushed through the pain. But I learned a hard lesson when I tore a calf muscle.

Since then I've learned that form and technique, consistent and gradually harder practice, and getting expert help are necessary to really learn something. Ten years later, and over 18k miles logged, I can say I know how to run.
> Talk about putting the cart before the horse. I have no problem with saying, "that food isn't really waste, let's redistribute it if it's going unused." But someone's got their head turned right around if they think that a logical corollary is, "and that food should never be used, because we're redistributing it."

No, I think you're the one who has it wrong. Previously, the "ugly produce" wasn't food waste because it was distributed to the needy through food banks and other social uses.

The problem is that the "imperfect produce" startup used a glitzy marketing campaign to turn that produce into a marketable commodity, redirecting it from social uses to profit-making uses, making the poor worse off to benefit some VCs and midsize-to-large agribusiness companies. To add insult to injury, the marketing tries to pass off the profit-making use as a social one.

A ground invasion would have killed more people.

This is pretty well accepted by historians because it would have have to have proceeded by a firebombing of the invasion target to make it even possible to land the marines on the shore.

And then there would have been the very long, very deadly fight all the way to Tokyo, with many many many civilians dying along the way in addition to the soldiers.

Also, Nagasaki is a cautionary tale about starting wars, and probably applies more to Japanese imperialism than American.
Is there a way to enroll your own platform key on the latest UEFI Secure Boot enabled Macs? They do not include the 'Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA' therefore a bootloader signed by Microsoft's UEFI binary signing service (which most popular Linux distros do) cannot be verified. And that means you must disable Secure Boot to boot something other than macOS or Windows. And that means you don't really control, therefore don't really own, your hardware.
When you tutor someone, don't tell them what to do step by step. When they ask you how to solve a problem, don't solve it for them.

It's tempting to explain in minute detail something you are good at, but if you always tell people how to do their job, they will become dependent on you.

Let them figure it out on their own.

When there's a bug in their code, point it out, but don't tell them how to fix it.

If you alwaystell people how to do stuff, they will never learn to think for themselves.

Systems that keep track of your learning progress and automatically schedule exercises are probably the future of learning, but I'm not sure whether the approach taking by expii.com is good enough yet.

I did a few calculus questions and noticed two aspects which I think could be improved:

1) the multiple-choice question format makes questions easier than they appear. I solved a differential-equation question by differentiating all 4 possible solutions, I would have been unable to solve it otherwise.

2) Most questions require combining several pieces of knowledge to arrive at a solution, but the Elo rating only keeps track of a score for the type of question. If you mess up a chain-rule question by misremembering the derivative of the inverse cosecant function, then you should get more questions about the inverse cosecant function rather than the chain rule, and vice versa.

That said, changing those two things would require a lot of work, so I understand why it is the way it is.
Ok, I disagree here. The data analysis done so far describes what you look at, but not why. AFAIK CA identified which party you were likely to vote for, and what concerns (gun control, Clinton Foundation, Islam, etc) concerned you. Mostly just classify the topic of links people post.

There's a big jump to determining your levels of Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness, Extroversion. Do people post articles that imply a negative agreeableness? I don't know -- political articles are typically intended to persuade, so you can safely argue that the poster believes in the article they post. But I don't know what kind of assumptions you can make about someone's facebook posts -- much less their browsing / purchasing behavior -- to determine aspects of their personality.

An engineer friend spends all his spare time tweaking an electric motorcycle. There's a lot to control in software, and although there are far fewer components than an ICE bike, he has gradually upgraded them, or will change them for a particular performance characteristic.

Maybe he could ask why you feel so safe with flammable liquids and toxic combustion products.

(Equally, some of my father's friends maintain, repair and operate steam locomotives. Needing a railway makes this far more difficult than for cars, but it's not too difficult to find a similar group in England.)

Did you actually read the article linked? Imperfect Produce and similar operations divert food that otherwise would be bound for food banks and other sources of food assistance programs towards more affluent segments of the consumer market.
A better term for a classical comparison would be serfdom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serfdom#Becoming_a_serf

Although, slavery existed within the feudal system as the lowest class of serf.
I get the sentiment but...we do have welfare programs. If a food source once available is becoming scarce, then obviously they will need to be revamped where appropriate.

They're not reducing waste: before Imperfect Produce, this food went to food banks. It's just that now someone has found a way to make money off of it.
WiMAX may have had technical potential in its standards (I am not equipped to evaluate that) but all the actual deployments of it were just worse than existing HSDPA networks. 10-20 Mbit WiMAX in the US got falsely branded by Sprint as "4G" which caused companies like T-Mobile and AT&T to also brand their faster HSDPA networks as "4G" which caused massive confusion in the the market (iPhones in the US will still show HSDPA networks as "4G"!! It's kind of insane)

I live in Asia and actually have a WiMAX plan still active (since it's grandfathered in on the only still remaining "really really unlimited" plan) but it always sucked in performance even when I got it, and since then they've refarmed half the spectrum. They sell "WiMAX 2" now, but that's just branding - it's just LTE.

Ask HN: Are CIO/CTO roles more vulnerable than other C-Suite roles?
Specifically, I want to ask the following:

1. Are CIO/CTOs more easily replacable than other C-Suite execs? - maybe because there's more talent competing here than other C-Suite roles.

2. Do CIO/CTOs have shorter career spans? - maybe because keeping pace with technology is much harder (compared to other business functions) and if you're left behind, you're no longer relevant. I understand that this role is part technology and part business/leadership, but keeping pace with technology and competing with new generation tech leaders (vs leaders in other business functions) is much harder.

3. How do C-Suite execs / board view the CIO/CTO role?

4. On average, do CIO/CTOs make less than other C-Suite execs?

>That new money is spent into the system and much of it takes the form of bank deposits which can then be inflated 10:1.

And the problem with this is?

Canada has no reserve requirement. The US value of reserves in the financial system is so high that banks are no longer reserve constrained.

The absolute quantity of money doesn't matter; the supply and demand for the currency does. That's why so many people got it wrong by claiming Quantitative Easing would result in massive inflation.

Comma.ai ships a plug and play device that will override the cars software with better software and allow you to do just what you are asking. It's wonderful for stop and go traffic.

Start with the support backlog.

There is no better source of knowledge than solving software issues. You see it all in that backlog. Deployment issue, build issues, bug fixes, feature changes, merging problems, log files, web server configurations, DNS issues, certificate installations, database errors, database updates, connection issues, you name it. It is in there.

Once you feel comfortable with that backlog, look at the source code of your application and you will then ask your self, WHY IN THE WORLD WAS THIs BUILT THIS WAY?!?! you will find everything wrong with the application and that is a good feeling.

Start with Supporting an application before developing it.

On the environmental side keeping old cars longer actually makes sense. Because production of cars produces a lot of CO2.

But historically this was a trick to minimize the trade deficit, because we don't produce cars in Denmark.

Today, however, it's hard to get rid off this tax. Because you have to find the money, and as soon as you start talking about this tax people stop trading cars.

IMO, cars isn't where we need tax breaks it'll mean even more congestion in the roads. We need to invest the upcoming surpluses if you ask me.
