"Chicago, the last affordable big city in the United States"

I love Chicago, and would consider living there were it not for the harsh winters. But, Dallas and Houston would like a word about being the last affordable big city in the US. I'd wager they're more affordable than Chicago, actually. Then again, if your definition of "big city" includes mass transit worth speaking of and corridors where you can live affordably near that mass transit, I guess you'd be right. Texas is stupidly backward on transit. Big roads, big trucks, big houses in big suburbs are the rule in Texas (this is changing in the major cities, though slowly).

But, they've both got all the big city stuff most people think of: Museums, food, music, culture, etc. Houston, in particular, will surprise you, as it has excellent art museums (including the Menil collection, which is probably my personal favorite museum of any I've visited, and I've traveled a lot), and one of the best opera companies in the world, among other things. Also amazingly good food due to large immigrant populations and a lot of produce that doesn't have to be shipped very far since it's grown in nearby areas. And, a very low cost of living, relatively speaking.
At least to some extent, this is a "Hegelian pendulum."

In the beginning there where black suited corporate drones. They coded black and white "calculation solutions" for the enterprising enterprise.

Then came colour. Gates wanted cheap computers on every desk. Jobs wanted colour computers for every artist. Mission. Meaning. This worked better, especially if you needed employees to invent things. Can't invent the iPhone wearing a suit writing business requiremnt compendiums.

Startups hired world changers and made a customer and emloyee happiness index. Google wrote "Don't be evil" on a chalkboard. Gmail was better than outlook. All was good.

Then some tension surfaced. Advertisers thought they would be happier tracking users. Users thought this was creepy. Making generals happy did not make employees happy. Someone erased "don't be evil" from the blackboard.

Back to square one.

Google (and "SV") have spent 2 decades telling everyone about their open and selfless ideologies. People bought it. They went to work for Google instead of a bank. Now, they use euphemisms and secrecy to avoid saying stuff that sounds bad.

Btw... It's interesting how iconic "don't be evil" was as a slogan. They couldn't live up to it, but that doesn't mean it didn't impact.
As far as Europe is concerned, you'd be mad to choose anything West or North.

As for the guy saying Porto is one of the cheapest cities in Europe…

WHAT?! It's €15 for a 'Francesinha', and this food is garbage anyway. There are much nicer places to go in Portugal where the prices and quality aren't ruined by tourism.

demand

Who, exactly, is demanding anything? You're way overblowing what is just a useful suggestion from someone who probably realized that would have been useful earlier in their career, and hence is trying to help others.

It's "log driven" because the logs, when read back, direct what you work on. Making that title to be some sort of mandate is inferring something that, frankly, simply isn't there.

I have visited Cluj few times and stayed in hotel. Office life is international but the moment you step out the street it's Eastern Europe in terms of difficult to navigate in English. But everyone is nice.
I assume living there would require learning the language.
Local food is not interesting, if you value food. Look into Mediterranean direction. The city is nice but it is not cosmopolitan, but I think it might be moving that direction.
The Truth Behind 5 Common Email Marketing Myths
> 19 microservices ... with a dev team of ... 3 perms and 2 contractors.

I thought the main benefit of a microservice architecture is to break up an application into smaller services that are about the size that a small development team can build and maintain on their own. I'm not experienced in this area, but more than one microservice per developer seems like a major "architecture smell."

It's nowhere exaggerated. What part of Banglore do you live in? Try traveling in Bellandur at around 5 - 6 PM and see by yourselves. In most places it's almost impossible to predict whether you can cover as low as 10km - 15km even if you have 2 hours to spare[1]. Banglore is over populated with people everywhere. You should travel to west for a vactaion so that you know how bad a place is Banglore compared to western cities. It changed my persepctive when I did that. I also used to think Banglore was a place to settle. Not anymore.

Pollution masks are almost a necessity if you are in Banglore and care about your lungs[2]. There are traffic everywhere. Also have you seen Bellandur and other lakes of Banglore recently? Bellandur lake is the most polluted lake in India[3]. I dont even want to start on water scarcity.

> You can justify a move from SFO to BLR if you want a multitude cheaper place to live without losing out too much on the tech community.

He would be also be making an order of magnitude less. After working for some years and going back to US he would be having peanuts as savings. The tech community is also not anywhere good as SFO. What you see in SFO today you can expect to see in Banglore after a few years rebranded in a diffrent name.

And the nightlife and quality of life is just terrible when you compare to SFO. I don't understand why will anyone who is on their senses will move to Banglore from SFO.

It's funny how often "whataboutism" arguments rise in russia-related news.
If anyone knows what I'm trying to say and can put it in clearer words that'd be lovely, I think I'm missing an important linking idea here. Anyway...

Imagine there are two paths from A to B (the left and right path). 100 people walk from A to B. Half take the left and half the right, and none of them have any information not in this paragraph.

There are wolves on the left path. Everyone who travels it gets eaten. Now, at B, we have 50 people. They all chose the right path voluntarily, they all made a choice. None of them knew about the wolves though. How do we catagorise this situation in term of having and not having made a "real" choice? I argue that in practice, whatever the people were thinking when they chose B was irrelevant, because they didn't know the thing that actually mattered and they didn't have a proxy variable for it.

With that setup, I'd argue companies that "help collect a number of people with similar goals rather than to solely make a profit" are a lot like my right path, in that the people may not have been focused on maximising profits, but if they didn't achieve them they wouldn't have lasted long. By evolution, there will be a decided drift towards companies maximising profits even if all the individuals actually making the choices think they are doing something real (or I suppose, the converse where they think that their job is meaningless).
> Universities in Portugal are not that great nor renowned.

I disagree. Universities are not the problem. General school is. As a rule of thumb, public universities are better than private ones and the opposite on general school.

I buy things from Amazon.de to Finland very often - often no extra cost for shipping and good prices. Also EUR prices without extra taxes for me.

So while Finland does not have "Amazon" (amazon.fi is a redirect to amazon.de) - I can still buy things from there very easily.

If you don’t slow down when you get to the front, you’ll end up separated from the school and more vulnerable to attack. Likewise if you don’t match the school’s speed when you’re at the back.

Staying in the middle would be advantageous, but when the whole school is cycling slowly, that’s tricky to do. The cheating behavior would need to be a little more complex so that’s an obstacle to its evolution.

Additionally, the more cheaters there are, the slower the school will move overall, which harms everybody (including the cheaters) so that limits the spread of cheating somewhat.

Overall, I’d guess that cheating could evolve, but only in a careful balance with the normal behavior. If the cheating starts to get significantly more complex, policing methods would co-evolve with it.

Oh no, somebody gave up the public's right for privacy for personal gain, I am shocked.
This serves as a good example of why privacy should be protected. Even under the assumption the police use data collected only for legitimate purposes, it only takes one corrupt officer for anyone to have access for less savory ends; While these are of course contrived cases, consider the stalker who purchases access to a facial recognition database, a robber who uses the mentioned phone tracking system to determine when a house is empty, or an identity thief who buys recordings from unnecessary phone taps.

The most reliable way to prevent any of this is to avoid infringement of privacy and surveillance overreach.
Ask HN: I’ve built a product that aids a company. They’ve invited me to demo it…
Hi all,

I’ve (very recently) built an MVP that makes integrating with another very well known service much more straightforward. I already have a good relationship with this company and I’ve been asked to demo the product to a very senior person in a few weeks time. How would you suggest approaching the demo?

It’ll be fairly informal, but I’m thinking we bring a very short deck explaining who we are and where the product is right now, followed by a demo and then a roadmap - using the rest of our time to listen rather than talk.

Does this sound like a good plan, would you suggest?
You asked about intellectual atmosphere, but most people here respond about architecture / cost and comfort of living. I would like to see more answers based on the culture that one is going to be living in, not just the cleaniness of apartments.

https://www.ucsusa.org/center-for-science-and-democracy/scie...

It appears that they did try to buy the tubes, and they could be used for nuclear weapons (that's why they were embargoed) - but the evidence did not support that interpretation of their purpose.

A deeper point: journalism considers accurate reporting to be reporting that "X said Y" if X did, in fact, say Y. It does not consider itself bound to independently investigate the truth of that - indeed, attaching the reporters's assessment that the source is lying could be considered bias!

Ride the train in NYC for any length of time and you are practically guaranteed to see it.

The phrase entered popular lexicon years ago now in NYC, it's definitely not new. Search the Gothamist website it's well-worn meme by now. Other news sources as well as even the MTA themselves have commented on the phenomenon:

https://www.npr.org/2014/11/23/366084646/mta-targets-man-spr...

- "an interactive, non permanent example on the front page, maybe you can even structure all your talking points within that"

This is good, I like this idea

- "why do lists branch off other lists and not items ?"

because I want to keep the UI minimal and this adds design complexity

- "Can I at least convert an item to a branched list ?"

not now, but yes is on my public todo list (ironically on trello for now : https://trello.com/b/mNeJCxNK/ymappr)

- "I have to admit to prefer nested lists instead of mind-maps"

it works for two or three levels of nesting :P after that, hard to visualize in a meaningful way in my opinion

- "My nested lists fail when a child has two parents, with mind maps this is not a problem"

again, I think it adds too much complexity to have a k-tree structure instead of a pure graph. Ideally I'd like something as minimal and simple as a Trello board, but without the boards :P

Anyways, thanks for the feedback, you gave me a lot to think about and I will think about how to integrate that in a clean way :)
People started caring about mutability out of two reasons I would say:

- It’s a source of thread-safety bugs. With multiple cores even in phones and async programming rising this has become a bigger issue.

- It’s a source of general program logic bugs.

I wouldn’t say that it has come all of a sudden. Like other modern techniques it has been standard in functional programming for years. In mainstream programming languages it’s also not totally new, for instance immutable strings were a design decision in java.
You can say that about any city of major size. If you live in Brighton, you don't have to visit Beach and clubs around Middle street (I guess this is where a lot of crime and fighting happen) and you dont have to go to Lanes and areas around Pavillion (hipster shops and tourists).

Brighton for me was more about open mic events, lots of concerts, hikes in nature, coffee shops and work. I barely seen any tourists.
I didn’t claim government run prisons are always better. I’ve consistently said they are generally better.
If it pays off by helping make Lisbon a strong European tech scene, which it looks like it could do, it's not necessarily a bad deal for the taxpayers of Portugal.
As a Italian who came to Vienna to study and started to work his 4th year (besides university) I can confirm those points.

The city is also quite clean, as there are a lot (but still reasonable) amount of trash bins.

Also you have a lot of parks, public "beaches" on the Danube and it's side channels (those which aren't used by ships) and the big Danube island in the middle, where you can escape from the city into nature quickly.

There are also a lot of nice woods and hiking trails around Vienna. I'm also owning a mountainbike, because I can cycle to a forest/nature reserve, with a lot of really cool (down hill) trails, at the city's border in half an hour from my workplace.

I'm from a small town from the alps, and will move back there because I'm not a city person and just love my hometown - but Vienna is the one (bigger) city I could imagine living in, if I had to (considering cities >1 million people and offering at least a metro and university).

> Education and healthcare are free

It comes naturally with a price, i.e., you probably have a bit more tax then in US I'd guess, but the benefits are really great, and even if I wouldn't need it now (no health problems, no real social/money) I don't have a problem paying those taxes. Also, at the end of the month I have >2/3 of my salary left over for leisure/saving/investing/... so I really cannot complain.
While earthquakes are a worldwide risk, not all risks are equal. Anyone pondering living in Lisbon should become familiar with the history of the city and the seismic events which affected it - i.e., that the city was pretty much totally annihilated in 1755 by a large quake and tsunami. That threat is still there.

The rights you have as a member of the 'middle class' have much more in common with the lower class than the highest class.

It is also a lot easier to move from middle class to poverty, than it is to fall from the upper class.

Yes, it feels like there is a 'colossal difference', but it's not nearly as big as the difference between middle class and the ultra-wealthy.
But, then I'd have to be cold. What kind of crazy math is that? I really don't like being cold.
It's €15 for a 'Francesinha', and this food is garbage anyway.

If you consider it garbage, don't buy it. You absolutely do not have to pay €15 for a Francesinha in Porto, and there's a huge array of other options. Of course if you go to the most touristy places you'll end up paying touristy prices, but if you really think that this is the case throughout the entire city then you can't have looked around much.
Sure, completely unthinkable that the NSA and big companies are attempting to cover up a story of hacking and surveillance. <rolls eyes>

This story has been out less than 72 hours? Most of them over a weekend.

Let's let the researchers get back to work today and start actually looking for physical evidence.

Personally, I'm MORE worried with all the denials rather than less.

If there was nothing to the story, I would expect Apple to say "We don't know anything about this" and then simply ignore the ongoing kerfuffle--especially on a weekend.

The fact that they seem to be in full on PR mode at the highest levels on a weekend is somewhat worrying.

True that. What I learned is that the official mission, say save the climate, of a given company is not enough tu judge that. I know companies in the renewable energy sector that are doing some shady stuff, the only guy getting rich is the CEO/founder regardless of how many bancrupcies occur. And the employees trying to work in "good" industry are just taken advantage of by some rich guy.
Croatia. I'm biased because I'm an expat croat but it's actually a good option.

It's central in Europe, you could replace Croatia with Slovenia if you wanted.

It's still relatively cheap compared to the rest of the EU.

There's a budding IT field and if you stick to the major cities you'll even find a sub-culture of makers and hackers.

There might be better options out there but I had to mention it since I'm from there.
Racket is an interesting system for pedagogy. Up until now, it's been focused on undergrads, but the principles should be similar. If you aren't familiar, Racket lets you create new languages that (among many other things) can hide the complexity of the "full" Racket language to just a few primitives for purposes of elaborating some point or insight. There is a whole series of these languages designed specifically around /How To Design Programs/: https://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/htdp-langs.html

The HTDP languages all look like Scheme, as most Racket languages do, but you can actually swap or modify the reader as well, to produce Blub-y languages (for example, someone has implemented ECMAscript: https://docs.racket-lang.org/ecmascript/index.html) that interoperate with other languages in the Racket system (including Racket itself).

At the same time, Racket is "real" in the sense that you can build production systems in it (not in the HTDP languages themselves, but it all interoperates), and it has a pretty good batteries-included core lib and contrib packages. For example, you could integrate the students' code (in a simplified pedagogical language) with the webserver (from the "real" language), so that they can see their code doing stuff out on the web where others can look at it, or they can show their parents, rather than trapped in some educational IDE that's only installed at school.
