I actually need to do this for my lisp. Do you know if that class is available online? I only found things like http://mullr.github.io/micrologic/literate.html

I'm brown and born in a brown country and got an EB-1 in a very similar way as described in this article.
Ah, sounds like a way to go before it's a serious contender as a daily development machine
You can't just apply the margin like that. You have to estimate the marginal cost of the extra business.

For something like banking I'm fairly certain that the marginal cost is tiny. It takes a lot of money to setup all the systems needed for moving money around, but once they are in place the difference between 10b and 11b flowing through them is tiny. As such HSBC probably pocketed most of that revenue.
As an American, can you please explain the joke here? I'm clueless as to what jokes there are against the Belgians.
Progressive for federal income taxes, yes. But overall progressive, the answer is simply no.

Many places switched from part of income tax to fees. Skyrocketed increase for fees to national parks this past year. Went up 300% for a weekly pass. You apply that over and over again in many parts of your life, and it adds up.

It just simply costs more of the percentage of your income to live and because of it, it takes a bigger chunk of your income and thus isn’t progressive.

Lastly, Social Security is a kicker for the one thing that is flat out regressive. Capital gains pays zilch for it, and it stops at 127K or so of income. That tax is burdened by the middle class.

That’s chump change for the wealthy, but anyone hit by it is burdened less and less the more money they make.

And don’t tell me it’s a “fund”. That’s not how the GOP acts with it.
App-ah-lay-shia, as I've always heard it up on the far northern end.

I am not quite sure what he means by this. Would someone kindly explain?
That’s true but it’s also true that when you look at just the giants (Apple Facebook Google Amazon Microsoft etc) the average age of the founder is much lower than 51.
Every parser is partially built upon regexes. You have to go all the way until Haskell, Prolog or such languages before you get better options than regexes to build them.

But they are not built solely of regexes. They always have added control structures that complement regexes on those place they are worst.
But VT-x was released November 2005 and AMD-V released May 2006?
There's a gap between what's acceptable to talk about in terms of motivation for the death penalty (removal of the offender for society, full closure for victims/family) and some of the underlying motivations of people who believe in it (punishment, revenge).

As a result it's hard to have a conversation when the two sides are ostensibly in agreement, but in reality have a fundamental point of contention. If you can't get everyone on board with 'capital punishment should not be about punishment or revenge', in terms of what they fundamentally believe and not just what they'll openly state, you're not going to be able to make headway.

The documentary illustrated that problem very well, I thought.
That’s not necessarily true. There’s a lot of high-profile executives that have left top tech companies because of family reasons. And even for ordinary engineers, if family on the opposite coast or in a different country becomes ill, they may move to take care of them, despite the lost income.
If stdout fails and your program's purpose is to print to stdout, for example, if you are `cat`, `less`, `diff`, `ps`, `ls`, etc... then you should print an error message to stderr and exit with an error code.

The super common use case is std.debug.warn, not printing to stdout.
application of occams razor: people will repeatedly post and promote their own individual work because they have a desire for others to interact with it and gain value from it, and beyond that because they desire attention for their work and effort. pretty evident to me
The way I see it is even if the machinations of the process worked 100% in accordance to their specification or programming, in the end what matters is how people will respond to the system. If a system correctly shows a warning when a bad prescription is ordered, it is still faulty if the overall system encourages the user to ignore warnings.

In this case, the system must deal with human error. The system must factor in the fact that the people who interact with the system are UI/UX laymen, they're most likely overworked and sleep deprived. Perhaps it should not offer the option to override warnings. Perhaps warnings should be expressed in such a way that the user doesn't learn to ignore them in order to do their job

Perhaps fault falls on EPIC for allowing errors to be suppressed, or for having a UI that allows prescriptions to be written with ambiguous units, or the hospitals IT staff for suppressing the warnings. The argument can be made that the hospitals upper management can be blamed for hiring and scheduling practices that result in staff overworking or having to ignore software warnings.

All I know is that blaming human error has been tried for decades and results haven't changed. Maybe the overall system, top to bottom, needs to be reworked.
I think that the visualization he used in the book was perfect. Imagine turning around and seeing an apple upon your desk. You would be surprised; and by that it shows the implicit modeling we do of our reality.
It strikes me that companies and being squeezed from both ends by government. On one hand they are getting lambasted for too much data collection. On the other they are being sued because they don't collect enough data in the case of Apple not being able to unlock iPhone for example.
Thanks for the kind words. I am proud of my projects, but it takes a lot more than a good looking product to create a financially sustainable startup. I am pretty confident in my ability to build products. But the skill that's really needed is to identify the opportunity vs cost of an idea, to sell a vision, to motivate others to product good quality contribution to your vision, and a crazy amount of luck... That's why I'm putting startup projects in the back burner for now.

In terms of the job hunt process, I don't get it either. FAANGs do have a huge supply/demand imbalance when it comes to tech positions. I guess I just need to be more aggressive in concentrate on more smaller companies.
Storyboard XML’s are not meant to be edited manually: no sane documentation or Xcode intellisense support exists. They are not source control friendly either. Lack of styling is also a problem. Compare that to VS WPF/UWP support which is the epitome of comfortable UI development imho.
And we have TV shows with built-in ads (esp sports), and channels running promos in the bottom right corner.

They did, it is a major theme in "What are the pathways to permanent residency?"
We used to know this. Almost every road and housing development included parks, verges and trees, enough to influence the micro climate. Roads and rail often had more space for greenery than purpose. There used to be enough of the natural environment left that you still knew where you were. Parks were more arboretum and public garden than the lowest maintenance acres of grass they have tended to become today.

Post war became concrete and optimisation of how many plots you could pack in. First things to go were anything green. The temperature difference between the two approaches is easily noticeable. UK railways and towns are still reducing the amount of trees - mainly to eliminate the need to send some contractors out occasionally to tend to trees and bushes.

It's yet another case of humanity sawing the branch they're sitting on for $2 more.

The silliest part is the older developments, even former public social housing, are now often the valuable areas as they are nicer to live in.
There's many possible explanations:

1. We're ants. We wouldn't understand signs of an advanced civilization if they were right in front of our faces.

2. Great filter. There's some great reduction of life at some point. Maybe life at all is really hard to do. Maybe intelligent life is nearly impossible. Maybe there's some super race of intelligent aliens that destroys any civilization once it reaches a certain point.

3. We're in a simulation.

4. Maybe we're a sandboxed civilization while the greater alien community is deciding to let us in.

5. Maybe contact has been made but the government keeps a secret.

Who knows. Articles like these rarely introduce any new light into a pseudo intellectual conversation akin to mental masturbation.

Yeah, they were more full blown startups in mind. If full blown projects doesn't help, side project of lesser quality (cuz less effort for the same person), prob won't help either?

And I am following my advice now totally. Just doing CTCI and Leetcode... Not gonna count on any other projects as an employment crutch. They either work as a business or doesn't. Employment is a completely independent thing... This is just in counter to a lot of others that claims they can always build a startup and if fails, go back to employment. At least with current employment practices, it just doesn't work like that. No matter how much applicable skills one got, it seems it boils down to 90% algorithm puzzles and that's it...
It would have been much much better to just use the first letters, like A for Android, P for private office, H for working from home.
Not only learning the language but also learning any language can equip you with necessary tools as many of the paradigms are interchangeable between different programming languages. That’s why people complain so much about the lack of generics in Go because we are already accustomed with it from other programming languages. Depriving the programmer from “basic luxuries” doesn’t make much sense.
Navigation of the select box would be improved if "/r/" prefix was stripped from every item. Ex, I clicked on select box and start typing "cable" expecting for it to navigate to one of those entries, but it just hung on the first item. Alternatively, can use some fancy select component with search function, like Chosen etc.
"A disaster" because what? Do you develop for iOS?

I do, I think they are the best UI design tool out there (used Microsoft tools, Android tools and GTK designer) and simply has no comparasion.

Most of the times, people poo-pooing AutoLayout are people that start rushing out the design without thinking about it, or people that rush to stack overflow to "fix" the problem and don't care to learn the system (apple provied great videos from WWDC).

The entire point of futurism is to borrow trouble from the future. Sometimes the trouble of the present is just too boring ;)

My basic point is that, insofar as the more liberalized and secular cultures of the present developed world can't sustainably maintain their current populations, there's a limited amount of runway for these cultures to persist. Eventually, we will either run out of immigrants and turn the entire world into one with a fertility rate below replacement, or some other, more fertile culture will out-reproduce or convert us faster than we can convert them, and that will be the culture of the future.

Perhaps it's possible that improvements in economic circumstances will allow fertility to rebound in secular cultures, but they've had the opposite effect so far. It's also worth pointing out that, by necessity, we're going to need some lead time to get the fertility rate back up. A fertility rate of 1.4 means that each generation is 70% the size of their parents' generation, and half the size of their grandparents' generation, and we're already having a hard time affording pensions as it is.

China, in particular, may have a massive self-inflicted demographic crisis on their hands due to the one-child policy. If Chinese parents during the one-child era had a strong preference for girls, maybe it would have worked out, but as it happened, they had a strong preference for boys. They might be able to handle the problem of caring for larger elder generations with smaller younger generations by offsetting the population decline with strong per capita economic growth, but the demographic issues involved with having large numbers of excess men will persist.

I'm also curious about the math that leads you to the two billion number. A Kardashev I civilization on Earth could sustainably support much more than that, and a civilization that advanced beyond Kardashev I, even more. By the time we run into the long term sustainability issues of our current population, or even of a population of 9-12 billion, it's entirely likely that we will be at such a level of technology that we can solve those issues anyway.
Then people should simply stop buying their products.
It does bear some similarity to tv tropes. One thing I really like about this list is how focused it is. It’s nothing but high level plot points. No digression, and nothing really obscure. Pretty much any good guys and bad guys story is going to contain at least one of these archetypes. TVTropes is great for many things, but it is not quite as compact as this list.

It's really hard to make money from these projects. Hence going back for employment. Either they succeed as a startup, or they are worthless. Building on contract is a tough business also. Software is great if it works and goes viral because it costs so little to scale Software. But otherwise lines and lines of code are pretty much worthless aside from learning experiences.

I did have 9 years working in a medium sized NASDAQ trade company doing firmware (C). It's not OO, but definitely team based development there. I think my problem is still to have interviews be focused on these projects. I don't mind if they grill me on the details of them to demonstrate what kind of person I am. But more often than not it's about standard behavioural and algorithmic puzzles.
You're obviously familiar with D, but in response to your post defending D's complexity, let me offer a different take. You are free to ignore a lot of that complexity with D. I don't use most "features" of the language, and in a lot of cases, I don't even know how they work. My code is a lot like C code. I don't mess with attributes, templates, CTFE, etc. in most of my programs.

You can use a style in D that is even simpler than Go if you want, but it's nice to have the extra features for the times that they're handy. Just because the features are there doesn't mean it's a good idea to use them - and D allows you to program that way.
My main point was completely different:

You can't claim engineers are exploited because some cherry picked tech companies make huge profits. You have to look at the tech sector as a whole, including the parts that lost untold billions while the famous ones raked them in.
The "lack" of styling is because you are supposed to declare the theming programmatically and be done with it (UIApperance)

For your claim of Microsoft's superiority, I find it very unfounded, it's superior in which way?

With Apple's tools, I can write my on controls, and change my own values and see them updated live in the designer.
Ask HN: I would pay X for Y
For example:

I would pay $10 every 3 months for a highlevel review/changelog of the top Javascript frameworks.

I would pay $1/month for book suggestions related to technical leadership.

I would pay $2/month for 10 suggestions of breweries I haven't tried yet.
The developer put them in because the developer needs money to live. I don't think the economic reality of needing money to live is a slap in the face. One alternative would be to only have the pro version, not the free version. But that seems worse.

Sorry for my earlier, abrupt response.

When I am doing this advocacy, I prefer it not be linked to specific parties. Same for general politics, but I do make an exception on M4A. It is too compelling of an example right now.

And this advocacy is foundation stuff. Improve democracy, empower peeps, that kind of thing. I believe in it passionately.

Greets and peace! :D
VFL can’t express anything beyond the most simple relationships.

I don’t agree with grandparent’s characterization of autolayout, though.
So, if you look at the east coast of the US, we've actually done an incredible job of reforesting the landscape over the last 100 years by accident. If you had aerial photos of New England from 1900, everything is pasture and farmland, vs now, its almost all grown back in. If you go poking off through the woods, chances are extremely good that you can blunder on a stone wall that used to mark the edge of a field.

It is not the hardware that is a problem with Google products, there is no 'you must be holding it wrong' nonsense. The problem Google have is in the support. Utterly awful. They have absolutely no idea, as if they are not able to empathise with the customer in any way whatsoever. A budgerigar is as much help.

Fortunately my five year old Pixel is as good as new, not a scratch. Despite its age it still impresses people whether they know what it is or not. Few computers do that these days. The wow factor isn't quite up to 'SGI' standards but I always say it is just 'a cheap really old Chromebook'.

The room filling sound from the speakers under the keyboard is something I can't believe the newer Pixelbook has to quite the same level of 'high fidelity', I would be gutted if that died due to some upgrade. This won't happen though as updates no longer happen (as of a week ago) due to the age of it.

The 2560x1700 'retina plus' native screen mode is also a true delight, particularly with dev tools open. People struggle to read the text and, with them not used to having pinch-to-zoom on their Applebooks, they are amazed that the zoom works just like on a phone.
> Ukraine is a war zone - like Syria in 2011

Um, no, not at all. The actual conflict is confined to fairly small parts of two provinces in the east of Ukraine, and even there it's mostly "frozen" at this point. If you're on the separatist-controlled parts, things are complicated, partly because of ongoing hostilities, and partly because of being governed by an administration that is not officially recognized by anyone, and that isn't really good at governing. So that's where the refugees come, mostly. But most of the rest of the country is not affected by the war in a way people were in 2011 in Syria. As in, no worries of enemy troops marching in and kicking you out of your apartment, no shellings, no bombings etc.

Yeah, I got next step for all the take-homes. Usually impressed cuz I'd whip up not only a working app but great UI/UX designs in a day turn-around. But there aren't a lot of those. And these processes sometimes can go awry for weird reasons. Toronto company that doesn't respond after I said I'm in Vancouver. A New York company that don't want to fly me over and schedules a new round of video interview every 2 weeks (and still on-going)....
Good point. But since there's a paywall of 5 articles per month, while a subscriber presumably reads 100's per month (e.g. even just 5 articles a day = 150/month), it seems reasonable the majority of advertising revenue comes from subscribers, or close to it.

Sure there are viral articles that get bigger traction, and it's a "soft" paywall when coming from social media or search, but they're been significantly increasing restrictions on the soft paywall over the past year to impose both daily and monthly limits.
You do know that the vast majority of First world recycling is sent to those places for "recyling", right?
