This is all well and good for a tech savvy user.

> Parent poster raised the possibility that OP's motivation for editorializing in the title was to make it more attractive to a set of readers. How exactly does that count as "hate" these days?

Why is additional factual data "editorializing"? Why is it a problem to say, "Oh and hey this is written in Rust?" What's actually immoral about engaging people capable of reading Rust to learn more about revision control?

This is Hacker News. Everything here is for the edification of folks interesting in software, its venues and applications. That seems to be good for posts to do. Folks who can read Rust will have extra reason to check out a worthy project, and perhaps look at how it works. Disseminating that kind of knowledge is precisely the kind of positive outcome sites like this look to drive.

I think it's "hate" because the only people mad about mentioning Rust so far have directly cited the idea that it's unfair to engage the Rust community on this site. It's difficult to even pick through the layers of this statement, it's so densely networked with bizarre assumptions. Thus, in my opinion it's language hate because the complaint is not, "This story would not be relevant without mentioning Rust," the complaint is, "This story's title shouldn't mention an interesting and important point." It very much seems like the goal is to suppress mentioning Rust, not to enforce a bizarre and unconventional reading of the rules.

> OP added the bit about Rust. You're deflecting.

I'm not deflecting that at all. I'm challenging the assertion that it's a rules violation or "editorializing". I've been here quite awhile and engaged with the mods a whole bunch, and I've never once seen "salient technical info" be marked as "editorializing." The Pijul folks make no secret of their use of Rust, and they're happy to talk about why they chosen it and why they like it.

It's actually a totally different product vs Sendgrid/Mailgun/etc.

Such a product would need to have a ToS that states it can only be used for low volume personal and business correspondence, and have per-account rate limiting to enforce that. Doing it this way is necessary to avoid having mail treated as bulk.

One theory: The Bay Area has become seriously ageist.

Many people have a hard time accepting working for someone a generation younger than them, and especially hiring a subordinate a generation older than them. The people reviewing your resume and interviewing you won't say it (they're not allowed to by law) but they'll definitely be thinking it, and it ends up being a huge waste of your time.

I genuinely think it's a locale thing. I've found work outside the area to be as high-paying and fulfilling, but without the casting couch feel to the interviewing process. In particular, look to large, legacy established companies trying to stay relevant. Many of them recognize the value of experience and pay accordingly.

The International Business Machines Corporation wants you to use Weather Company Data feed now. You'll need to call them for pricing, however. Current estimates on that pricing are $400/mo if you read the commenters.

In the end, you are not an International Business, so the International Business Machines Corporation has no more use for you. You should've expected this when they bought out The Weather Channel. Likely Carrot Weather cannot afford it either. International Business Machines Corporation likely doesn't want 3rd party applications to compete with its Weather Company's 1st party apps.

Legit question, though - are cattle actually carbon-neutral? I mean, where does their carbon come from? Eating plants, that were grown specifically to feed the cattle.

Which gets to another question, since I'm not bothering to research before asking... how much worse is methane than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, per carbon atom involved? Because that's basically what cows do. They convert atmospheric CO2 (via plants) into atmospheric methane (via farts).

Is that true for YouTube kids app too? I thought you could put timers using parental settings. When the timer goes off, it will lock the device. And, some N minutes before, it would show a warning as well.

That seems way better than state of the art (dumping kids in front of TV or video game consoles etc.)

It seems that Helm has no obligation or business need to log any metadata if they are providing each customer with a dedicated relay. Any abuse will come from that relay IP and can trivially be attributed to the correct customer.

Ouch indeed. I have a RainMachine irrigation controller that hooks into WU forecasts to be smart about when to water. It can use other data sources (e.g., NOAA), but in our microclimate area, WU’s access to highly-localized personal weather station data has been pretty useful.

There’s some active discussion of alternatives in the RainMachine forums [1].

> Rust also has more mindshare than Haskell, so it's got a higher chance of being adopted.

I'm... uh... not so sure about this. The Haskell community is quietly pretty big these days. It's not that Rust isn't growing rapidly (and is growing fast due to consistent direct capital infusion from Mozilla), but as of the first half of 2018 it certainly felt like a smaller and more specialized community than the rather large surface area Haskell covers.

I read the whole tech page and some of the comments here. I might be willing to pay for this service, but not in its current form. I wouldn't want to spend 500USD on a proprietary hardware in addition to paying a subscription fee. What needs to happen to convince me to pay:

Open up the hardware component as a platform for anyone to extend (allowing direct ssh, or using my own hardware). It's fine to not open source the email server code. But I would like to utilize the hardware to do other things, like file storage, etc. Instead of waiting for your company to build other features, I would rather have community contributed (preferably open source) plugins that integrates with your ecosystem and runs on the hardware.

What is the difference between legibility and readability? What do those terms mean precisely? Before this moment, I might have used them interchangeably.
Article recommends indentation on first line of a new paragraph, but as far as I can tell, they use double (or at least extended) vertical spacing as paragraph seperation, which I consider a long established web standard.

First line indentation is a vertical space saving method for extra seperation between paragraphs, but unlike paper, vertical space (at least once you go beyond the fold) is free on the web.

Hm... I'm not sure it works that way. Type systems are quite fragile beasts, if you change one thing you can easily break the rest. Especially when it comes to type inference! Although I'd say that HM is quite simple, especially if you don't consider polymorphism (i.e. if you require that every function parameter has a concrete type like int or bool).

In fact, that might be a good starting point - first implement something with the above 2 types, and where every variable and function parameter has a type annotation. From then, you could (1) add more complex types, like function types, tuples or lists, (2) implement type propagation where each variable has the type of the value it's assigned (like auto in modern C++), and then (3) go full HM type inference.

My suggestion is that every product should include environmental fact sheet, so that consumers could make better decisions. Every product should be tracked through the supply chain and every process including energy production and transportation would be included in the final product fact sheet.

If consumers would buy more environmentally friendly products, markets would direct every producer and supplier to be more environmentally friendly, without any other government intervention or sanctions. Just make it mandatory to be transparent and to include this information in every product. Put warning labels on products that have missing information.

I was discussing student loans and value of a college education with friends the other day. We were discussing whether or not I would recommend college to someone today. My conclusion is that TODAY I would still as long as that person has the means to do so without any loans.

But, then we started discussing whether I would push my children to go. My answer is that I hope I don't need to. Even though I have some amount of college savings for my kids, I don't think it will be enough to let them choose their school freely and I would much rather that money go towards starting them out in their career or family or whatever they choose.

My hope is that when it is time for them to start their adult life that there will either be enough cheap or free alternative forms of education or that the stigma of not having a degree will have lessened. Realistically, I don't think the situation will have changed in that time.

My own experience is complicated because I took out loans--which I greatly regret--but also likely have my career to thank for it. I had a full-tuition scholarship to the school of my choice, but opted to go to another school my parents wanted me at; when I eventually transferred back to my original choice I had lost the scholarship. If I had to do it again today I would definitely start with a 2 year local college education and then work hard through the remaining years to finish debt-free.
> Post-war Iraq is not the same as a war zone, so protection of the civil service, bureaucrats, diplomatic corps, etc. I think can be done by some kind of other trained force.

I said conflict zone not war zone, which I meant to encompass lower-intensity dangerous areas. But in any case, aren't American embassies traditionally defended by US Marines? I see no reason to change that.

> In fact, it might be better in some ways - soldiers are trained to have a very aggressive posture, a very 'lean in' kind of assertion. The 'killer instinct'. And it involves a lot of training in heavy weapons, assaults, recons, urban warfare etc. etc.. We don't need that for these missions. Because in any serious engagement they should be calling in the actual Army.

These "contractors" are former soldiers with exactly that same "aggressive...killer instinct" training, so you're not avoiding it by hiring mercenaries for guard duty.
