When Paddy (and the WebSummit Team) decided to leave the Dublin chaos, they had a choice between several cities. Lisbon made the best case on many factors. There must have been an "incentive" for them to move beyond simply having a "better venue" or "sunny weather", we (the public) will never have the full picture of the terms of the original "deal" between Paddy and the Lisbon/PT authorities.

Feels like it's been a "win-win" for everyone (except perhaps the "locals" who have no interest in tourism/tech and have been priced out of their rental accommodation by "AirBnB Landlords"... it's the SF apartment price squeeze all over)

If I were to guess the reason for the selection of Lisbon, it would be this: the Web Summit organising team have to spend much of the year in the city where the event is held. They chose a city they want to be in for their own reasons.
e.g: Weather/Climate, Food, Culture, Night Life, Scenery (lots of city parks, cycle/pedestrian areas), Architecture, Surf/Sailing, good International Schools (for those who have children) ... Mostly still "cheap" for visitors.

There's a good reason why people say that Lisbon is like SF but with better weather and more affordable.
My problem with Google is how terrible they've proven to be at building consumer software. The Google + news today just set me off even more than usual. All this search ad revenue has them drunk on power with zero concern for providing the end user with actually useful software.

I can't think of one piece of Google software, except maybe YouTube that is enjoyable to use or at least decent. Even then, this doesn't exempt Google from being idiots with how they treat content creators on YouTube. Everywhere you look they do some absolutely terrible thing, or some completely incompetent thing.

Take email. I loved Inbox. They killed it. Like most of their acquisitions or other projects, they kill everything. It would make sense if they integrated Inbox features into Gmail mobile and desktop apps and then killed it, but no. They just killed the useful application and kept Gmail an ancient turd of a client the way it is.

So you would think it's no big deal - just switch to another email client. The only problem, they all suck. Edison molests your data unless you opt out of every app install for sharing your email or useage data, and then if you want to scrub your info from their servers (which I'm pretty sure is BS) you can't actually use their app. So... Switch to Spark and it seems decent but you can't do inline images in emails on mobile - only attachments. I need to send customers inline images while on the go so that's the end of Spark. Meanwhile on the Mac you CAN send in-line images. But guess what? The Spark Mac app has every option EXCEPT a taskbar icon and badge count (you can look in your MenuBar but are SOL if you prefer to have it hidden. Next up, AirMail3 is another turd. AirMail3 seemed awesome, but the first time I tried composing a simple email to family it found every damn contact EXCEPT the everyday contact I would use. Maybe it needs to learn over time so I give it some time... Well, it still decides to match every possible iteration of something I search for - for any type of search. I think I'm typing an email from "XXXX YYYYY" and I get back every email or contact from every duration that somehow even every possible match that might include a variation of XX YY.

Jebus. Seriously Google - F U. It's incredible to me that they don't seem to give a S@#$ that they're making people go through all this. People are spend monthly on email clients from some 3rd party that is doing god knows what with our data and Google refuses to improve their own stupid products but also insists on killing any they own that are actually useful.

Forget "Don't be Evil" you clowns, maybe just focus on "Make Uncompromised Products" - Google: you suck at writing decent software applications. Period.
Ask HN: Any ideas of preparing for a programmer's interview when bored at work?
There are days when I have literally nothing to do at my current work (I'm a Java/JS programmer). Or there are moments when the project is building/ starting (15 minutes usually) and I have to wait.

Do you know some reliable websites/applications/other ways where I can prepare for a technical programmer's interview in such moments?
You're probably not alone, but I'd rather have a company owned by its founder than a mystery group of very rich people whose main goal with the business is getting more money out of it. If my boss works for himself rather than his funding overlords (who are multiplying the money they invested 100x by doing fuck-all) I'd vastly prefer that.

(disclaimer: I work for a successful privately owned company)

I'm pretty sure Google would have more luck in making and keeping these technologies if they found some middle-ground on spying, tracking and profiling. I almost bought Google Glass, but after reading review that it makes picture every few seconds and each time you blink and uploads it to Google, I decided not to ever buy something like this. It's not only harmful for my privacy, but literally everyone else around me.
I'm sorry but there is no level of user education that will protect a large organisation from phishing links. The attack surface is way too large and safety depends on how the user is feeling on any given day when a random email turns up. There are no high reliability systems that require manual user interaction on a frequent basis especially on low-effort low-concentration tasks.
Psychology
Discussion Questions
Classic studies of the 1960s and 1970s have helped us to understand more about the psychology of tyranny. The research on obedience to authority by Milgram and Stanford Prison Experiment by Zimbardo are some of such studies. In current cases, the same notions of earlier studies still apply as they support the common notions of the banality of evil showing that people unthinkable and passively conform to both the roles and instructions provided to them by the authority. Modern events can attest to the true human nature in conforming to the psychology of tyranny such as the T.V reality shows popularity and the Abu Ghraib Scandal.
Psychologists have placed their work on “real “as part of current TV shows such as Big Brother and The Survivor. These shows have captured the interests and attention of millions of Americans, but we often ask how real these T.V shows are. Zimbardo indicates that this reality T.V shows that we watch today are misleading. A program such as Survivor does promote the worst form of human behavior as well as the wrong human values. For example the willingness of participants to go through surgery or eat the most disgusting food which she or he would not do in normal circumstance? The show also indicates an abuse of authority in which participants are forced to go beyond their comfort zone to be awarded. Viewers get fascinated with this real-time drama.

I see no benefit whatsoever to web docs over man pages. man pages are immediately available, where you are (the CLI) without an internet connection or a web browser.

I expect the -h flag to give me a summary of the flags and arguments, to remind me of the particular name of the flag I'm missing. I most certainly don't want the whole documentation there, partly because the whole documentation is (presumably) large enough to scroll my history off screen.

So, yes, man pages are definitely more important than web or in-cli docs.

Do you mean farmed salmon? Aka 'fish' meat which, due to crap the fish are being fed resembles more pork than wild salmon? Not even talking about the amount of antibiotics, growth hormones and god knows what other chemistry pumped into them to get as much $$ as possible.

2 of the most healthy fish to eat on paper are pretty dangerous these days - tuna due to buildup of mercury and other metals since it is a relatively long-living predator (you can't avoid this), and farmed salmon due to stuff above. Maybe a proper wild one is still OK to eat often (and priced accordingly), but farmed ones are generally subpar food I try to avoid.

Much as in C++, this is not really allowed: drop runs during panic unwinding, a panic during a panic will hard-abort the entire program.

I don't really think there is. Maybe opt-in linear types could be added. That would be at the cost of convenience (the compiler would require explicitly closing every file and handling the result, you could not just forget about it and expect it to be closed) but it would fix the issue and would slightly reduce the holding lifetime of resources.

Furthermore, for convenience we could imagine a wrapper pointer converting a linear structure into an affine one.

You'll get the exception from `__exit__` chaining to whatever exception triggered it (if any). Exceptions are the normal error-handling mechanism of Python so it's not out of place.

Try disengaging "worst case scenario" mode. You argument is hinged on seat belt catastrophe, loss of livelihood, identity theft, botnets, and general worst case computer doom.

Losing your livelihood because you didn't update Windows in a timely manner? That's beyond a joke. Besides, Anti-virus software would do a better job of preventing these worst case events.

The reason people have their identities stolen or computers hacked is mainly because of human error. People open attachments; people fail to identify scam emails and start engaging with criminals; people enter information willingly on websites they shouldn't, people put USB drives they find on the ground into their computers; people do dumb things and no "critical security update" is going to stop that.

Yes, forgetting your umbrella results in getting wet. Running with your logic, we need to extend the analogy.

You turn up late to the interview, you don't get the job, you can't pay the rent, you get kicked out, you're now homeless and living on the street. Really should have taken that umbrella.

I really like the advide to think of the death of a loved one. This helps to put everything in perspective. When my father died suddenly some years ago, I felt a clarity like never before. All the fears, worries, and thoughts about unimportant stuff were gone. All that was important to me then was my family and my friends. My only plan for the future was to start a family and raise children. Now I'm a father of three and I can say that the loss of my father changed my life - a lot.

I think China is worth a shot on Africa and perhaps also on Afganistan. US/EU didnt't fix the major issues(i.e poverty& education). Even more U.S is sending a clear message that it's no longer interested in supporting other countries unless they pay so I don't see why the world would not wellcome China's initiative.

> Some Europeans take this to suggest that China is a useful counterweight to an unpredictable Uncle Sam. That is misguided.

Although misguided, it is quite easy to understand citizens' anti-Americanism which is borne out of effects they experience compared to China's relatively domestic-only policies. Right or wrong aside, this has always been the cost of globalism and projection. I don't think it helps to present it as an either-or, weight-counterweight situation (which the article doesn't do and is warning against of course).

> Transparency should be demanded [...]

I've found this is just too much to ask anyone dealing with China. I don't care if you're Marriott or Apple or a politician or whoever, the leverage of an entire country weighed against your ability to even disagree publicly is an unfair fight. Sadly, if you want to demand transparency you are in effect forcefully removing a market. Consumers and journalists are going to have to just continue naming and shaming, which does little good, until that transparency is demanded of the true oppressor.

> That is misguided [...] however much Europeans may dislike the occupant of the White House.

> Ideally the Trump administration would stop treating Europeans as free-riders on American power who deserve a good kicking.

While ideal, sure, I think the author should heed their own thoughts on not focusing too much on the current occupant. In general US policy has no anti-EU slant (though the inverse seems less true).
Oh yeah definitely. Note that I'm doing the inverse move (to SF) and I have no idea why I'm doing it.

I don't think defaulting could have turned out better. Once you take money you have to pay back. They got debt reduction as well so it's not like they are pay back the full amount.
It's simply the result of bad governance that pilled up over the years.
The fact that they fucked up their economy again (even with unconditional free money) doesn't change a thing. They still received extreme economical help from the EU and the least they could do is not cause anymore trouble. Not to mention paying the money back.

> Should his directive be respected, ending his life?

That's the big ethical/philosophical conundrum of planned euthanasia. Is a personal decision made by the person who still had all their faculties of thought still valid when that same person is suffering from dementia and can no longer relate to that decision?

This is a highly personal matter, and the choice may well best be left to individuals (who can choose to defer to their loved ones as well), but that would imply accepting that some people will get to set the conditions for a facilitated death, and have those honoured.

In the Netherlands this is an ongoing topic for debate, with a couple of recent cases highlighting the difficult position this type of euthanasia places carers and family — although not acting on the express wishes of their loved one emburdens them in no less a manner.

Part of the solution may be a shift in society's perception of a self-chosen death, in that it becomes much more accepted; something that has been happening for the past two decades in countries where euthanasia is possible.

Another extremely political article at the top of hacker news... As usual. And the moderators of hacker news continue to censor comments they deem as "political." Such sweeping political generalizations like "Europeans don't like who is occupying the white house." This is silly when Trump is anti-globalist and the EU is globalist, and it is the anti-globalist EU countries that are most protected from the influence of China! I can't call it reading between the lines anymore - when nearly every line of an article is riding on political trends.

>"Corporations are not people. Judge them by their actions, in the end, what matters is what happened, not intent."

Oh nonsense, corporations are run by people. People who make deliberate decisions on behalf of the company. And implicit trust is bestowed upon these stewards of the company by the company's employees. I think theres a tacit understanding that these people will balance both shareholder value and ethical concerns. A such intent very much matters.

Re 5: pthread allows setting the stack size of each individual thread although this is seldom done in practice as on 64 bit address space is not at premium.

GCC also, on some platforms, allows using segmented stacks on any C and C++ programs which means that a thread will only use only as much physical and virtual memory as required. I don't think segmented stacks have seen much use though as they have non zero cost and, for optimal space usage, ideally require recompiling any dependncy, including glibc with them.

Interestingly segmented stacks were implemented to support GCCGO.
