I actually created an account as this is one of those things that gets repeated a lot and IMO it simply isn't true.

1. The BSDs adoption was severely hurt in the 90s by the AT&T lawsuit, it basically stopped several years of development while the lawsuit legal status was clarified. Linux and the GNU tooling didn't have that problem. If the lawsuit never took place it is doubtful whether the Linux kernel would have got as much interest as it did at the time.

2. If you don't keep up contribute your changes back to upstream (whatever the license) eventually you will be left behind and have to maintain your own incompatible version. It is in your interest to send upstream patches.

3. GPL code gets stolen all the time and put into propriety software. I've worked at loads of places that have just straight out cut and pasted GPL code into their own product (usually this is done without management's approval). Large projects such as the Linux kernel companies can't really get away with it. However a lot of companies don't build software for the masses, most build bespoke software that is only deployed on one or two servers on a company intranet and the general public will never see it. A lot of developers will just straight up steal code (not caring about the license) from wherever. A surprising number of companies still don't even use source control, let alone bother reviewing code.

4. Companies do contribute back to BSD licensed projects, however this is normally financially not through patches.
Also, it's fair to say that US has a huge economy because it spends a lot.

Hello,

I read this post of yours on job searching of those over 60 and found it quite interesting and helpful when it comes to finding creative ways to establish connections to possibly stand out in a job search.

Now I'm nowhere near 60 and around half that age but trying to take a cue from your post I see that you work for Atlantic Media. Don't know if that still holds up but I saw job their job board recently that there's an opening available at Atlantic Media for a Backend Python Web developer.

I'm a guy who enjoy using and working with Python as far as learning purposes go. And after quickly reading your post here I figured to reach out and try a somewhat different approach than the old cover letter and resume email method and contact you if you may have any info to this current opening at your company?

So with that said, here I am..and I wanted to inquire to find out if this opening is still available? If so, do you have a contact to learn more about this position and the things you require in regards to the nature of the job? My apologies in advance that this may not be the response to your post that you were looking for but I figured why not take some ideas from your post and apply it..hehe..

Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It can be argued this is necessary because some NATO members spend lower than they're supposed to. We basically foot their defense bill.

EDIT: Here's a chart https://www.defenseone.com/politics/2015/06/nato-members-def...
(Author of the linked piece here.) The Economist is technically correct. The bill was introduced, but did not pass. We're going to try again next year.
Why can't you do either of those things with the AST of the match-expression? And what stops you from leaving the code as code, and extracting that AST by calling into the compiler?

(Maybe I'm being unfair here. I write mostly Elixir, and it's really easy in Elixir—one or two lines—to extract the AST of the body of a function defined in a given file and then work with it. It's just as easy to hold data canonically in its AST representation, and then both analyze it, and generate code from it, at runtime.)
I'll explain: it's a rare and perhaps AI-religious view, but my optimism isn't so much for the human race, but for the flourishing of information itself. If I were an ant, and were aware of humans' superiority over me, I'd be glad to see them succeed.

Sometimes while reading/writing modern PHP it feels like it's more functional than OOP. It's definitely easier for your code to be pure and simple instead of becoming a stateful mess. To make it a stateful mess you'd have to go against many modern best practices. I think I don't really understand what kind of Java monsters people have worked with in the past.

I will explicitly exclude legacy code from my previous statement, where globals, static calls with side effects, stateful objects and inheritance abuse were common.

Now if only I had all the advanced type system features :/.

Weight distribution, one assumes?
Just in case anyone is wondering how this plays out pricewise, the base model is $46.2k, but they headline the price as $33.2k:

Price $45,000

Incentives: -$7,500

Gasoline savings: -$4,300

Price after savings: $33,200

Destination & doc fee: $1,200

It's rather disappointing that for all the talk from Tesla about disrupting the way people buy cars they maintain nonsense practices like adding on destination and doc fees, and add new ones like working gasoline savings into the displayed price.
RWD base price is $33,200 (after incentives), even less than the long quoted base price of $35k, though presumably incentives on the standard battery Model 3 (not yet available) would make the after incentives price even cheaper.

>Maps can be represented 1:1 as e.g. JSON. Any JSON data is basically a big map data structure. It's one function call instead of hours of writing ORM classes or custom serialisation methods just to send some data over a wire

Again, you don't write the ORM classes, the framework does it for you.

And what you advocate is essentially sending a table over the network. So, what happens if your data within that map is complex? Are you suggesting to send every piece of a complex data type over the wire in separate chunks? If so, how do you relate it in the application? You still to make some sense of that JSON data in your application. Having it in a big map structure is akin to a god object.

I my mind all you're doing is masking objects in different concepts just because you don't like using classes.

> write off on their taxes.

Thankfully the poster got it right but the headline from the article itself is very misleading. Deferring taxes != writing off investments.

Also, why does the headline writer take shots at billionaires for putting money to work in economically challenged areas?

I swear some of these people will never be satisfied with the way rich spend their money.
The article doesn't argue this is the reason for inequality. It's just a piece of trivia.

>Americans are used to thinking that their nation is special. In many ways, it is: the U.S. has by far the most Nobel Prize winners, the largest defense expenditures (almost equal to the next 10 or so countries put together) and the most billionaires (twice as many as China, the closest competitor).
Secretly recording audio is illegal in many (but not all) jurisdictions, including California. However, just because Google isn't recording you to target ads doesn't mean no one is.

A fair number of people are claiming they've been targeted with ads seemingly based on information that could only have been obtained through audio recording. But so far no one technically sophisticated has, and so these claims never seem to involve narrowing it down to a specific device, or checking the devices for malware or suspicious apps.

You develop web services professionally in Haskell, Erlang and Rust, but you think that Java-style OOP is too complex?
Regardless of the industry, bad actors always ruin it for the rest of us. I am familiar with the saying of "don't bring me problems, bring me solutions". However, not every problem has an immediate solution, or just because I found the problem doesn't mean I understand it or even in the correct place to fix it. I would think that applies to most people finding issues and trying to report it as well.

What I find counterproductive is that we know there are bad actors out there just waiting for the next thing to come out that they can exploit, yet very little is done to counter act it during development. Yes, develop the thing, but before releasing it into the wild, maybe do a little pen-testing on it before releasing the next delivery device for the whatever ill will someone might use it for.

Plus, this is Hacker News where part of the group are the ones cracking things open to see what's under the hood while another part of the group are the ones building the next "thing". Keeping these kinds of articles front of mind might actually make one of these devs actually think about adding some extra security.
...after tax incentives and "gas savings"
> Ideally, using an OS-level resolver would have a way to tell the browser that the recursive resolution was encrypted

A simple flag to configure this would have done the job. I don't like how browsers are pretending that they have security needs that are special compared to any other application and thus need to pull in the whole network stack and bypass the OS on everything.

It causes duplicate effort if you want to secure your whole network instead of only the browser.
It also limits technology choice. I'm forced to use DoH even though there are other options.
You can of course create Clojure/lisp code that would generate kernel code, but I am strongly against it as the default option, since I find plain C much better suited to small kernels close to hardware (which are only a small proportion of the overall code) than either lisp or Julia.

Please note that there is no need for out-of process compilation step. You compile this by calling a Clojure function, interactively from the REPL.

Only in the US would be advertising a sticker price that includes hypothetical "gas savings" be not considered misleading to the consumer.

Perhaps if they want to advertise gas savings they should be forced to also add "increased home electricity costs".
Inheritance indeed can be pinpointed as the one major problem in problematic OO code. A lot of the comments here talk about abuse and I think that hits it on the head. It’s not really a matter of knowing when to use or not use inheritance, but rather that the developers that do use it end up using it everywhere and a bad pattern proliferates into even more problematic areas, such as using inheritance for mock objects in unit tests.
From one of the example videos on the site, I got suggested this fun video where the maker of the world record distance paper airplane a few years ago shows off and explains a bunch of different designs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n4xq0DnbHI

The record flight is shown at the beginning, with more info on the plane at 13:55, but the whole thing is a fun watch.
But they did not just load up eBay.com and start chatting. They logged into the site -- aka, entered a protected and authorized space. And it is illegal to enter a protected space if the owner does not want you there. This is why the no-solicitation example is relevant. In this case, eBay says, you are authorized to enter this store (authenticate into the site using your account and thereby gain access to tools like messaging) as long as you follow these rules (terms of service). You agree to follow these rules before entering the store (when you create your account), so eBay grants you access. You then proceed to knowingly break those rules.

And the discussion is not about what Amazon did. Rather, it is about how they did it.

My argument is that private entities should be pressured to exercise their freedom of association responsibly and fairly, even when failure to do so falls below the legal standards of non-discrimination.

I agree that legal "sledgehammers" and "shackles" are burdensome. It's because of my eagerness to avoid such remedies that I strongly advocate other measures to discourage private firms from abusing their market power to effect political change by selectively including or excluding potential customers and employees for political reasons. While I suppose I technically agree that "private entities should not be under pressure to give up their freedom of association", they should be under pressure to use extreme discretion in exercising that freedom.

> Model 3 Mid Range Rear-Wheel Drive $45,000

> Incentives - $10,000

> Gas Savings- $4,300

> Price after Est. Savings $30,700

This is good news, but it's still not the $35,000 model.

Also, what's the breakdown on the incentives? I thought the federal rebate was $7500 if they haven't run out of those yet. Are they including state rebates (which presumably aren't the same everywhere)?

Including "gas savings" in the price seems more than a little disingenuous.
Your questions are valid but I cannot agree with their premise. Yeah, life in Eastern Europe is very definitely much better compared to, say, 1900, but it's not that simple; back then they didn't have 10 bills to pay a month nor did they have to do grocery shopping. People lived on the farm and produced food and whatever they didn't have, they bartered their extra goods for it. Pretty simple and overall easy life (although working on the farm can be quite exhausting and consume 16+ hours a day sometimes). All balanced out with bad healthcare for example: chances were much higher you could die of a disease that's trivial to cure today.

I mean, it's apples to oranges. Many things are objectively better... and many others are objectively worse.

There's nothing scrambling our concept about whether we should have children. As several people in this discussion pointed out, having children was linked to benefits down the line back in the past, and nowadays they are mostly only a cost center. And finally, whether we compare 2018 with 1900 or not, life in many places of the world is hard and many people don't want to raise a child in very uncertain conditions. You don't care if 1900 was worse; you only suffer because you cannot buy your kid a toy -- or even their favourite food.

Comparing to the past in such a situation is quite pointless.
Ouch :), we did work to comply with GDPR and we are. We do not share any of your data with anyone else and never will. I am not sure why they are reporting we are sharing with a 3rd party as we are not, and I have a support ticket open with the popup service to find out why. We will move tomorrow morning to a new one if we can't get that resolved. I am sorry for the trouble there :(.
But your total defense spending should be informed by your enemies' total defense spending, not necessarily by the size of your economy. From that perspective I find the above statement pretty illustrative.
Agreed. I hate saying this but it seems like Usenet's downfall may have been the rise of anonymity? Or at least it played a large part in it. Of course using your true identity to participate in online social platforms isn't required for them to be good and on the other side of the coin even real live people on social media sites act terrible towards others and "ruin it for everyone", or any other type of buzzword / rationale used to describe the phenomenon.
No. It is impossible, even with incentives to get it for under $37,500 - because that base price includes "gas savings" that are not in any way an actual discount on purchase price.
DoH by itself does not, but the way it is getting implemented, most users will just happen to be dependent on them. That's why I wrote that.

Instead of pushing this functionality into OS resolvers and standalone resolvers used by networks, it is being pushed into commonly used applications, with cloud companies providing the other end by default.

ESNI doesn't require DoH, but there's no point of using it without one, if your network can check the DNS records you are asking for, and then check the ecrypted SNI against it (it will have the same key you are using to encrypt, so it can do the same and match).

Some resolvers (systemd-resolved, ducks and hides) do use custom API to attach properties to responses. That was the only way to get DNSSEC status, so it can be reused to indicate upstream protocol too. However, not many applications use that, they rely on standard gethostbyname(), which doesn't provide anything similar.
I suppose, but to me that means we should judge methodologies or design approaches in part by evaluating their failure modes, the severity and frequency with which they occur.

This is why I have so little patience for arguments like TFA, "well of course it doesn't work if you use it wrong!" You can make this argument for anything! If the thing is being used incorrectly a majority of the time, that is valuable information; it's no good to just say "well it would work if developers weren't so dumb." The happy path is always happy, by definition.

A good methodology or design approach will understand its potential failure modes and include mitigations against them to help prevent those failures from happening.
I hope the new Jira provides less flexibility, because too many people straight up don't know how to use boards well. It's incredible. There's so many ways in the old system to do shit and people readily abuse it at every turn.

Only if you get the car before December 31st. With a 6-10 week turnaround, you'd have to buy it now and hope you're lucky, but cutting it close either way. And even then, it's not 33200, it's actually $37500 because of "potential gas savings".

From Jan 1 to Jun 30, it'll be $41240 and from Jul 1 to Dec 31 2019, it'll be $43125. As of Jan 1 2020, there'll be no more federal tax credit and the car will be full price at $45000.

As an active phpBB and Invision user for years, I recall voting being only available with plugins, and they weren't typically considered upvotes or downvotes but reputation votes for the user. May sound like six of one / half-dozen of the other, but it was still a very different environment.

In addition, bumping was more of a way to get attention to something than to vote. As when asking for help on a specific topic, or to let other users know you edited and added to a thread's initial post.
Totally agree. And their full $7500 (max possible) federal tax rebate just ran out a few days ago.[1] Now it drops to $3,750 (max possible) and orders delivered after June 30 2019 will only receive an $1,875 (max possible) tax credit.

All wrong. Digging in granite would be "awful". Digging in clay... Meh. I do it all the time. I have meet a lot of humans able to dig a hole into clay in fact, so I'm not the only one.

If you find shovels "intimidating" maybe you should try it more. Even small children are able to play with it.
They do account for electricity costs in the "gas savings":

"The average person drives between 10,000 and 15,000 miles and spends between $1,000 and $1,500 on gasoline per year. In comparison, the cost of electricity to power Model 3 over the same distance is up to three times lower. Over the six year average length of car ownership, that's between $4,300 and $6,400 in gasoline savings.

We've assumed a fuel economy of 28 miles per gallon for a comparable gasoline powered sedan, for example, the 2017 BMW 3 series. We've also assumed the national average of $0.13 per kilowatt-hour for electricity and $2.85 per gallon for premium gasoline over the next six years."
It's still $45k, now we will have to wait for the non-premium interior option for the $35k price.

EDIT:
$40k price since it seems that there will be a smaller battery than this. Seems like a good way to make more money when people wanting the smaller range battery get tired of waiting.
