Actually, despite the media buzz, there were about 20 morons with "white Europe" banner, quickly kicked away by organizers, but for some reason media loved presenting their photos, not the remaining 60k of people of all age (0 to 99) celebrating the Day of Independence in a rather peaceful atmosphere.

In reality there is nothing to be afraid, Poland is one of the safest countries in the World (there are multiple resources about that), people are traditionally hospitable, in bigger cities like Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw there is pretty a lot of people from many Western Europe countries, there are also a lot of (about 1 million) refugees and emigrants from Ukraine, emigrants from Belarus, quite big Vietnamese community. So far everyone live in peace together.

A fun fact - my daughter goes to a regular primary public school and in her class there is a boy from India, a boy from western Ukraine, a girl from Ukraine and a girl from Belarus and. They were assimilated very quickly, without particular teachers assistance (public school, so teachers don't have time for anything but teaching); boys soaked into the group immediately, as running around together and screaming plus playing soccer does not require much language skills.

I think that if you consider seriously moving/traveling to country X, relaying on media does not make much sense, as they are chasing something that would make a "news". So, surely, there are people in Poland who bite dogs, yet the reality is that, typically, dogs are biting people.

Luckily, these days it is easy to contact foreigners living in Poland (Facebook groups, native language speakers portals, etc.), so, just ask someone who lives here.
I didn't know that, thanks.

Yeah that adds the requirement for two factor authentication with flexible out of band options, by September 2019.

So yes, this further lessens the risk of "that wasn't me" when a significant-other checks the bank statement and sees a pile of porn purchases. That's the historical risk element of legitimate adult transactions.

Perhaps the card processing chain will relax after that.
I agree. Even in the big cities the level of english speaking is pretty low, and definitely lower than in Barcelona. But this shouldn't be a problem. Take the month or two of effort it takes to get started in the local language where you live, make an effort over time, and you'll find it to be no barrier.
That’s correct. I’m not talking about what happens to your data but about what you see on your feed.
Sellers will always be greedy, the problem arise when buyers and lenders take risks.

In Denmark housing is way higher than it was before the crisis, but wages aren’t really up.

The market has now reached the point where the middle class can’t afford to buy a home near our biggest cities.

Of course it’s going to end poorly. Especially with the aging population. If we didn’t own an appartment in the central part of time that was bought at 30% lower than the current prices I’d honestly be shitting bricks.
1. No.

2. Not really. You still have the possibility of varying the speed on an asynchronous CPU. When you want stuff to go faster you can raise the voltage and increase the cooling.

I remember reading at the time of the ARM AMULET that they tested one by cooling it with liquid nitrogen and ran it at a high voltage, and got it to go as faster in benchmarks than the contemporary standard ARM processor.
What’s involved in creating simulation tools for async? Is it straightforward, or in need of research?
I don't really know what you mean by thriving intellectual community. I think this will depend a lot on your exact interests and what you want out of a local intellectual community on the ground.

Manhattan, KS has a big university in a small town. When I lived there, it had intellectual things like used bookstores and an incredible local zoo, stuff you don't typically see in small towns. But it is also an Ag college. Probably not really what a techie from the Bay Area is seeking, though I loved it to pieces when I was there (other than the ragweed, so you couldn't make me go back at gunpoint).

When I applied for an internship with a National Lab in Washington State hoping to get back to the Tri-cities, I interviewed for a position in a satellite office in Sequim. They do marine biology type stuff there because of the unique marine ecology right there.

Port Aransas, TX also has marine research stuff due to unique marine ecology. It's a town of under 4000 population year-round, but snow birds and tourism swell the population to up to 60k at times, so it actually has a grocery store, something you don't normally see in such a small town.

I considered moving to Idaho Falls, ID in part because it has a National Lab, so it likely has a serious intellectual environment even though it's just 60k people and very affordable.

So, you might want to flesh out some details concerning what exactly you are hoping to find. Because I'm guessing you don't really want to move someplace like Port Aransas, though I'm cool with tiny little places with an enclave of uber-geeks.
There are no more Space Shuttles that could service Hubble. When it fails it will simply be dead.
Vienna, Austria.

It has been ranked the most liveable city in the world for some years in a row.

Cost of living is low compared to the European average; you can rent a medium-sized apartment for 600-700€/month.

Everyone speaks English. Co-workers from Spain never bothered with German, because they can get anything done in English.

Viennas public transport system is cheap (30€/month) and excellent. You can get anywhere in the city in a reasonable amount of time. Generally, all public infrastructure is in great shape.

The tech-scene is so-so. It's certainly not London or Berlin, but there are some startups if that's your thing. There are plenty of enterprise IT jobs in banking, insurance or government.

Education and healthcare are free and nature is close. It's a 1 1/2 hour drive and you're skiing in the Alps; 2 hours and you're in the Salzkammergut swimming in mountain lakes.

All in all, it's a great city to raise a family.
In the past, yes. Currently, no.
This is my workflow and has been for the past 10 years or so.

Whenever you think of something else that needs doing, write it down so you stop feeling the need to keep it in mind.
You should consider using WebAssembly if you process so many numbers.
I would agree. Montreal has relatively good infrastructure and also good housing options for families and singles alike. It’s small compared to these tier 1 cities in Western Europe but it’s great, people are nice and are bilingual.

The winters are extremely cold but if you don’t mind that it’s fine. Not sure about the salaries but I hear they are lower but so is the cost of living.
I've seen gay people walking hand in hand and kissing in public in the main public space in Warsaw (Łazienki Park). Nobody bothered them. They still got looks because it's unusual.

I wouldn't try that in a backyard alley in a "working class" part of the city, though, especially if they are male. Most of the time it would be OK, but there's a real risk of some idiot being "insulted" by that and reacting stupidly.

I've talked on the internet with a transgender girl that moved from USA to Poland for some time, she had family there, and after a few months she moved out, couldn't handle the shit her family gave her and the looks. So yeah, it's not pretty. Violence wasn't a problem apparently.
Ask HN: Would you buy a book on using modern JavaScript with legacy web apps?
For essentially my whole career I've been working for companies with MVC-ish web applications. There's been a few common things that I worked to resolve such as:

- script tags on every page

- copy/pasted code

- multiple versions of the same dependency (such as a different version of jquery on every page)

- ad hoc approach

- reinventing the wheel

- no testing

- no linting

Over the last few years I've honed an approach that I feel could benefit other developers who are in the same boat. It's basically a set of steps for modernising front-end code and taking back control of your codebase.

I plan to cover things like:

- code bundling

- effective folder structure

- refactoring inline scripts into the bundle

- code execution using location/hash parsing

- introducing view engines like react/vue

- choosing the right language (vanillaJS, es6, typescript etc)

My gut says that there are plenty of teams working on applications like what I have described above and yearn for a better process. My question is... would anyone buy it?
Varjo Raises $31M to Transform Heavy Industry with Human-Eye Res. VR Product
No, the average citizen's heavy dependence will just shift to "being told what to think by a viral video on YouTube".

That's what we're seeing here, by the way.
You wrote a great response! Assuming you genuinely want feedback on it; your writing style does detract a bit from what you're saying - the emphasis and braces don't read like native English. My advice is try not to use quotes, italics and braces at all - go cold turkey! Then you'll probably find yourself using them when you actually _need_ them. :)
Look for openings on various sites, apply on sites like Upwork. Initially it'll take a lot of effort to get a gig, eventually you should be able to just use your network to find projects.
I’m not sure how you think a typeclass differs from a pre-made structure you impose on code. The average typeclass has parts that are enforced by the compiler and “laws” which aren’t.

The functionality you describe is provided only when you conform to the pattern required by the library/compiler. I don’t think the division is as cut and dried as you set out.

Cape Town is exceptional value. Lived there for 12 years. I would recommend you try and work remotely from there earning a foreign currency like USD, GBP or EUR. You will then find it very cheap.

Pros:
Excellent quality of life (for your demographic).
Beautiful outdoors, quick to get around.
Cheap compared to SF, NYC, LDN, AMS, BLN.
Great food scene.
Not oversubscribed like SF, LDN etc. You can usually just walk into a restaurant.
Good, fun people.

Cons:
Rand (ZAR) is a weak and volatile currency.
Geographically out of the way.
Tech scene/talent is a bit small IMO (contrary to the local opinion) but AWS EC2 also has a development office out there so that might be of interest.

Overall, Cape Town is a great place to live. Beautiful, cheap and you will find you have plenty of time to pursue intellectual interests. I really miss the lifestyle.

1. No, asynchronous means something different than multiple clocks. Think of it like the difference between polling based programming and using coroutines; with multiple clock domains you have separate sections of your chip performing tasks at predefined instants in time (when your clock signal rises/when your polling loop swings around again) but with a truly asynchronous design, you simply start processing the next chunk of work when the previous chunk is finished (when the previous chunk of logic drives a signal high/when the previous coroutine finishes and control flow resumes in your coroutine).

2. It does deliver some benefits, but not all. Truly clockless design is desirable in some cases due to power concerns; for example the Novelda Xethru ultra-wideband radar SoCs are actually clockless, because power distribution networks can account for 20%+ of the power consumed in chips like this. (This is what I've heard, I don't have a citation for this. The paper I quote below similarly handwaves and throws around numbers from 26% all the way up to 40%, but they don't do any analysis of their own on this)

I've never used a clockless CPU design before, but the theoretical advantages are listed out quite nicely in this paper [0], which lists (among other things) the natural ability for the CPU to sit at idle (not executing `NOP` instructions, actually idle) when no work is available. It appears that the AMULET 3 processor (which is compared against an ARM 9 core) is competitive in power consumption, but doesn't quite stand up in performance. While still pretty impressive for a research project, this shows that we do still have quite a bit of work to do before these chips are ruling the world (if, indeed, we can scale up our tools to the point that designing these isn't just an exercise in frustration).

Groningen, The Netherlands. Population 300k, strong university and other educational fascilities. Has the Dutch infrastructure but still relatively cheap compared to the other majors cities (eg Amsterdam)
Have the Hubble servicing missions been actually cost-effective or was that more something that could be done because the Space Shuttle existed, although building a replacement would have been cheaper? (The latter would probably have had a problem having its budget approved, compared to the servicing missions, I guess.)
Hawaii wouldn't be ideal based on your criteria. Living costs aren't low and there isn't a thriving intellectual community. Fair Hawaiian weather and vibrant outdoor living, however, have attracted intellectuals ranging from Garrett Lisi to Joseph Campbell.

This, except New Delhi.

Bigger roads, much better infrastructure/subway system. We actually have close to 7-8 world class universities in the city (IITD, AIIMS, NSIT, DCE, IIITD, etc).

Rentals are also cheaper.

Does Snapchat actually collect all this information about its users? If yes, when it's such an unbelievable miss.
Agreed. For a long termer, you need to make a 5-6 month full time investment in learning the language. From then on, being immersed means you’re gradually improving and your options and understanding of the everyday expands considerably.

The only good thing about Banglore is that it has a very big tech community. But the wages are really low compared to the west. Traffic is just terrible. Sometimes it may take you 1 2 hours even to cover 1 KM. Its overpopulated and has too much pollution. Night life is nowehere close compared to SFO and so is the intellectual community. Again nothing to justify to move all over from SFO.
True. Another great example: Heidelberg.

Public smoking depends on the region; where I live it's prohibited for most bars and clubs (at least indoors).

There's no way you've spent more than a week total in the city if these are the conclusions you've come to. Barcelona, like all large cities, has its drawbacks, but they're not the ones you've listed.

1. Climate is far better than most large US cities, and moderate. July highs of 86F are hardly "extremely hot".

2. Absolutely not true for 95% fo the city. Maybe get out of Gotic next time?

3. I don't even know how to respond to this point. Most cities have dense centers. Few have buildings like the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Sagrada Familia, or the Cathedral.

4. High cost of life? Compared to the rest of Spain, sure. Compared to the US? Not particularly. Salaries are low locally but purchasing power is higher.

5. Again, no idea what you're talking about. Most people walk or take the metro everywhere. Average air pollution in Barcelona is lower than most major US cities and many other major European cities as well.
Well, to put it in context, Soylent Green was written in 1973 and felt like a very real concern given the political and social unrest of the time. I tend to think that this is just a sign that humans like to think in terms of superlatives. I hope I'm right, and that society is able to get it's sh*t together given the likely upcoming tumult. I don't know, I feel that especially in more civilized western countries (Canada?—not the US :).), people tend to stay more united in the face of affliction and are therefore more likely to be able to ride out the storm. I guess it will depend on how badly things really end up breaking down.
She did but she's no longer the issue. And in voting against Hillary, people voted for Trump, a worse alternative - morally corrupt. People fight over whether Hillary was really corrupt or not, with Trump that's not the issue. We know he's a compulsive liar, exaggerator, we know that he's mean and petty and vain and that all he cares about are his name/brand and how many millions he has in his bank account. This is not a guy who'll fight for the masses, me or you, this a guy who'll fight to keep himself and his friends rich and makes no apologies for that. So not being a Clinton but being a Trump is not better, it's so much worse. It's the same in Brasil, voting against PT, Bolsonaro might be president, but he's so much worse. Despite absolutely hating someone you still have to keep your eyes open to what the alternatives are and if they're worse or better. Or you might end up with someone that'll make you more worse off.

Ostensibly, this is what TODO comments have always been for.

Realistically, I guess it's probably better that these types of comments remain out of the code itself unless you and your team can practice proper rigor around them, e.g. using prehooks to enforce that no TODOs are left around before committing or merging.
For me it doesn't matter if it's fake or not, what counts are the reactions of some people. Every time I hear "she did very well" I get upset. As if violence become the new normal in making a change.

+1 to Edinburgh, from a biased local.

Most (but far from all) startups in Edinburgh are based in the Codebase building: https://www.thisiscodebase.com/. We also have a couple of unicorns that were started here, Skyscanner and FanDuel; Amazon and Smartsheet also have offices; and Rockstar North is where GTA is developed.

All of the above companies are within 10-20 minutes walk of the Edinburgh Waverley train station. Public transport is awesome mainly because the city is quite small and buses are frequent and cheap.

There are plenty of meetups too - see https://techmeetup.co.uk/ for the biggest general one, which is also live streamed. There are others on security, JavaScript, Go, Machine Learning etc.

If you like hiking/camping/hill walking then Scotland is a great country for you - you have a view of the Pentland hills from the city, and Arthur's Seat in Holyrood park right next to our parliament buildings. You can be in the Cairngorms national park within a few hours by car/train.

Upper end for Senior Engineer take home pay after taxes is around £4,000 pm. You could rent a nice apartment for £1,000 pm, but could get something small and habitable for £600.

Edinburgh is Scotland's most international city, which is a double edged sword as the tackiness of the tourist shops up and down the Royal Mile showcase. But there's lots of great things to do and see, and varied places to eat and drink. The University of Edinburgh is one of the UK's best (I recently walked past Prof Peter Higgs :) and students come here from all over. The Edinburgh Festival is (one of?) the biggest arts festivals in the world and runs for the whole month of August. The Fringe Festival is a world famous testing ground for stand up comics - there's a great Netflix special from Hannibal Buress about his experience of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Big downside to the city is that it doesn't have a tech sector as well developed as, say, London. Also for as stunning and booming as the city is, the weather is pretty bad especially owing to its unpredictability i.e. four seasons in one day. It's drier than most of Scotland but that's not saying much. It's cold and the winters have short days. The flip side is that a sunny summer's day will be one of the most enjoyable of anywhere in the world.

EDIT: and yeah, I echo other warnings about waiting until the Brexit debacle has concluded to see what things are like for the UK
Yes this is the problem I am am facing just now (been doing this for 15 years). I care more about writing decent code than chasing trends, but it means my skillset looks stagnant.
Gating is great when you have entire cores idle. Other than AVX2 units, does it save you any notable amount of power on active CPUs?

> Can a store in Germany choose to close on Saturday and open on Sunday?

https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/arbzg/__9.html says "no work on Sundays or public holidays from 0:00 to 24:00", plus a few exceptions where the 24 hours window can be shifted by up to 6 hours (but has to remain 24 hours long).

This implies a legal work week from Monday to Saturday within which employment contracts can schedule their working hours (following more rules, eg. not more than 10 hours at a time, mandatory breaks of a certain length within those 10 hours, and at least 11 hours of rest between two days of work).

7-8 hours a day Monday to Friday is currently normal, but deviations are possible within the legal limit.

https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/arbzg/__10.html enumerates the exceptions to the "no work on Sunday/holidays" rule. If your business doesn't fit into these exceptions (as is common for regular stores), you're not allowed to open on Sundays.

There's no one "Spanish" culture. "Catalan" culture is just one of the many facets that make the "Spanish" culture as a whole. Barcelona isn't any more different from Madrid than Valencia, Sevilla, or Bilbao are.
