Objective-C/Swift Frameworks have nothing to do with UNIX, Apple could easily port them to another kernel architecture.

Likewise OS X driver model has nothing to do with UNIX, being modeled on an C++ subset, which was originally written in Objective-C back in the NeXTSTEP days.

The only UNIX GUI certified as such is Motif, which Apple certainly isn't offering on their products.

Nor is the audio stack in any way related to UNIX.

>Good roguelikes have a good mix of human-made "scripted" elements integrated in randomly generated worlds. Too much of the former and the game feels repetitive and predictable. Too much of the latter and the game feels soulless and aimless.

This is great advice that extends well beyond Roguelikes.
Also ADHD-PI, and yeah, hyperfocus is great for coding, but you have to be working on something "interesting enough" to trigger it. Not all the work you will do at work will be interesting, so without treatment you swing wildly between being super productive and massively unproductive, which might be okay in a small startup but fails to mesh with larger companies that expect any sort of consistency in your output.

So it's not just the loss of productivity from inattention that's a problem for most jobs, but the lack of consistency in your output.
It's still not clear from reading your description how this is better works? You're just gluing together the bottom of a whole bunch of pages?

I started at $21k in 2010 as a programmer

* 2000-2005 USMC

* 2005-2008 various (Unable to decide what I wanted to do when I grew up)

* 2008-2010 A.A.S. Computer Information Systems

* 2010-2015 Backend Developer, 21k => 50k

* 2015-2016 DevOps/System Admin, State of Delaware 60k => 68k

* 2016-2017 Backend .Net Developer, small company 70k => 85k

* 2017-Pres Backend .Net Developer, major bank 100k

I live in Delaware - in the sticks - and commute to Wilmington, DE.

I probably make under market, but I'm limited on my relocation options and don't have a 4 year degree - so I'm happy with my current position.

Off-topic: the publication is named "staradvertiser". (The adds do seem unusually well-targeted to me.) It's the first time I see a publication whose name is clearly trying to appeal to advertisers rather than viewers. Has anyone else seen any others? Any insights about their counter-intuitive decision?
So the actual code is closed-source?
143. Diversion.--Men are entrusted from infancy with the
care of their honour, their property, their friends, and
even with the property and the honour of their friends.

They are overwhelmed with business, with the study of
languages, and with physical exercise; and they are made
to understand that they cannot be happy unless their
health, their honour, their fortune and that of their
friends be in good condition, and that a single thing
wanting will make them unhappy.

Thus they are given cares and business which make them
bustle about from break of day. It is, you will
exclaim, a strange way to make them happy!

What more could be done to make them miserable?
--Indeed! what could be done? We should only have
to relieve them from all these cares; for then they
would see themselves: they would reflect on what they are,
whence they came, whither they go, and thus we cannot employ
and divert them too much.

And this is why, after having given them so much
business, we advise them, if they have some time for
relaxation, to employ it in amusement, in play,
and to be always fully occupied.

I think we're saying the same thing here. Look at all sides. Don't make blanket judgments. One person's experience does not necessarily become another's. Science is good, but not a guarantee.
Clearly one can have petty squabbles about any topic, regardless of the seriousness of that topic. It isn't helpful to start requiring every single conversation be taken as life or death.

I take GP's comment to be more in general, that the CEO is operating in a high-noise/distraction environment, rather than throwing shade on the particular instances in the article.

The noise can make it difficult to have a consistent and clear set of decisions while still remaining responsive to the population.
Personally neither what you call the humble brags nor your post are very useful. What is interesting is cost-of-living-adjusted salary, but nobody knows how to calculate it, so we just get a bunch of numbers without enough context to figure out what they actually mean. It's like posting a bunch of price data points from the last 500 years without any knowledge of inflation.
> And then, as others have mentioned, it's hard to find Lisp programmers. Most programmers are turned off by the [...] immutability.

Most Lisps have very little in the way of immutability (except for C-style
"undefined behaviour if you modify it"). They tend to be very dynamic, living
systems, and making everything mutable is one way of enabling that. Some
people favour a functional style, and a functional style is more common in
some dialects like Scheme, but it's almost always essentially "imperative code
with good support for higher order functions," and most Lisp programs have
always mutated state freely.

There are exceptions, but they are exceptions.

You've misunderstood my argument.

My argument is as follows:

Publishers are required to strictly moderate their content.

Online publishers are protected from these requirements.

The reason that online publishers are not required to have strict moderation is because it is not possible to have strict moderation.

If it is possible to have strict moderation, then their protections should be removed and online publishers should be required to have strict moderation.

By applying strict moderation, you are showing that it is possible to apply strict moderation. Therefore, you should be treated as a publisher and made to comply with all other regulations relative to that status.
I really like this story. One thing I've noticed is that if you can find a great engineer from another country and they help you recruit good locals, that turns out to be the most effective kind of offshoring experience.

>Job Candidate Clustering

>Basilica lets you easily cluster job candidates by the text of their resumes. A number of additional features for this category are on our roadmap, including a source code embedding that will let you cluster candidates by what kind of code they write.

Wonderful! We were in dire need for yet another black-box criteria based on which employers can reject candidates.

“We’re sorry to inform you that we choose not to go on with your application. You see, for this position we’re looking for someone with a different embedding.”
I thought the topic was world trade.
As a foreigner living in China, I can say that the populace is like many other countries. You have your normal people who don't really keep track of what's going on, you have your informed people who have informed opinions and realize that the world is a complicated place, and then you have your crazies who are filled with distrust of other nations and conspiracy theories in the name of nationalism and patriotism. There are some people who view these activities as negative, and there are some people who view these activities as positive, and there are some people who never even think about it. We must acknowledge there are many in China who do endorse these activities too, just as there are people in the US who feel bombing North Korea is the right thing to do. There is no need to make things look nicer than they are, just as there is no need to make things look worse than they are.

And ironically, let's face it, every country is doing something in the spy game, China is not alone in using underhanded methods to steal secrets and intelligence. And each country can easily spout their justifications too.
Is Spec simply a test? Or is it something more? I keep hearing about it, but it seems to be more than just a test case.

>Drug experimenting is not dangerous at all.

No problems with 13 year-olds trying heroin?

>If you read studies claiming pot to be safe, and you're not convinced, then don't smoke it.

Pot isn't safe for kids, and there are multitudes of studies that show this. Will it hurt if a kid does something dumb once or twice? No. But habitual use is disastrous, from a brain developmental standpoint, mental health, and the sheer amount of time lost by being 'drunk' and not focusing on things like school. Pot is also addictive, not in the same way that heroin is, but it is addictive.

Keep in mind, the original statement was around what is natural and what is isn't. I'm not conceding that it is natural for kids to smoke pot or do other drugs.

I'm a big supporter of legalization, because I think prohibition is dramatically worse than any negatives from people smoking pot (similar to alcohol, etc).

That said, the two friends of mine that were the heaviest smokers, saw dramatic improvements in their lives in the few years immediately following giving up smoking pot. Both in terms of health and professional success. They were recreational smokers, rather than smoking for pain purposes or similar, it should be noted. One of them has become a very successful business person, the pot smoking had considerably dulled their ambition. They used to do the minimum to further their life. Afterward, their potential was unleashed, it was night and day (and a dramatic benefit to the well-being of their family).

Hey great to hear the excitement for this. In fact, we (the Python VSCode extension team) were so excited about it, that we've already begun integrating it into the python VSCode extension itself! It's a little rough yet for a full release but it's highly functional. If you want to play with it, just build the extension from https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python. Suggestions are welcome, but remember, it's still undergoing changes.
And the "the Soviet expansion into Eastern Europe" was the business of the US, and not Eastern Europe itself, because?

Not to mention that the US army never fought the USSR in Eastern Europe. Or that Eastern Europe was more or less divided by the allies with USSR, as if it was their own property -- and that the US occupied the western half of Germany (and Japan).

Left to its own devices, the USSR wouldn't have "eastern Europe" and couldn't afford to get it after the huge WWII cost it paid. But it was given to it, with the western allies pretending to believe BS assurances about Stalin allowing democratic elections there. It was convenient for all sides to get their grubby hands on their side (eastern/western) of the battle-torn Europe.
The actual legal issues in question are barely touched on in the article:

> But some environmentalists and Native Hawaiian groups say the spread of observatories on the summit has polluted the mountain, interfering with traditional cultural and religious practices, or are actually infringing on the sovereignty of the Hawaiian kingdom.

The links in the article to the actual decisions are broken (for me at least) The article https://bigislandnow.com/2018/08/08/supreme-court-rules-in-f... implies that the issues were largely procedural and this decision isn't actually deciding if any of the above are true.

So I'm left seeing big claims, but no real idea on if those claims are true-but-ignored, mostly-not-true, or a fringe-group-only-viewpoint. (While the media coverage IMPLIES that those claims ARE decided, and it's that implication that bugs me)
For some reason I find it funny that all the comments here about static typing are written in English, a language lacking not only static typing, but a syntax that's possible to automatically check. It lets one say things like "I still static strong typing" (which you've since corrected)!

One could write a comment here in Haskell describing why static typing is better, yet nobody ever does. I think even the most ardent static typing proponents are implicitly admitting that dynamic typing is fine, and other concerns can be more important, in some contexts.
Dear HN,

I built MyTube.FM with very simple CodeIgniter MVP + MySQL, as a fun after-hours project.

The biggest challenge was getting audio recording to work on as many devices as possible, but I am sure not all have been worked out :|

The main idea is that I would like to have some sort of Twitter that would be more genuine than what Twitter is right now. I also think that making people force to use their voice not only brings more emotions into discussion but also helps combat trolls as it takes much more time and energy to record your voice, rather than type a message.

This is very new project and I currently only cultivate handful of profiles myself in hopes of bringing traffic; for example POTUS profile: https://potus.mytube.fm/

I did the project myself and would welcome all ideas how to take it off the ground (I am programmer not a marketing whiz unfortunately), so please feel free to reach out! Perhaps thanks to HN, I could find a founding partner?

> I'm actually saying that the safe harbor rationale exists because it was believed that completely regulating content was impossible.

Completely regulating content may be impossible (or, at least, a greater burden relative to other irreducible costs) in online media, and at least the latter if not the former is a premise of the CDA safe harbor.

But since adopting and making best effort enforcement of a content policy does not require the ability to completely regulate content, site operators having a Constitutional right (as they clearly do) to adopt and enforce such a policy is not, in any way, inconsistent with the continued existence of the safe harbor.
So what you're saying is that it's ransom because it's functionality you want but didn't pay for the right to use?

And that a company should either not sell a product at all, or only sell it completely without restrictions or limits?

Otherwise it's dishonest and ransom?

If you hire a man to mow your lawn do you have a right to be upset that he refuses to clean your septic tank for the price you paid him to mow your yard? You are after all paying for labor from a tool that's capable of doing more than just cutting grass.

Understanding the concepts behind e.g. how tcp/ip works is hard and requires a lot of dedicated effort.

In the case I cite, it's not TCP/IP at all! It's very generalized systemic thinking. Just picture a diagram with boxes and arrows, and start thinking about how the messages go across and what happens next. I also see a lack of generalized systemic thinking in too many of the high GPA Comp Sci grads I've interviewed at work. (Even to the point where they embarrassingly try to handwave entire fields in CS!)

I can see why game artists or indie gamemakers may not always know these things.

Everyone working on a movie needs to know some cinema/storytelling basics, so they know how the little piece they are working on can best contribute to the overall project. Everyone in a band needs to know stagecraft, so they know how to enhance the presentation and not commit a stagecraft faux pas.

I've seen multiple occasions where gamedevs are shooting themselves in the foot because they can't do basic systemic thinking.
> How would you call the spies if not "Chinese"? They are the People’s Republic of China’s Ministry of State Security's spies.

CCP spies? Chinese Communist spies? Personally, I've been trying to correct my use of China/Chinese to "Communist Party" when talking about PRC government topics. I think that's more accurate since the PRC government dominates the Chinese people more than it represents them.
I don't know why people wouldn't just make and array for monetary values or make two int values for decimal and number place.

/dev/lawyer How to Speak Copyleft
Yeah, we need to separate between the men and women serving, and the army as an establishment (or the military industrial complex).

I don't think the latter deserves much royalty -- especially if it's not fighting defensive wars (in its turf) or expansionists (like Nazi Germany), but wars for "national interests".
In my experience the drinks tend to be quite a bit more expensive.
This guy wasn't working in the defense industry, and he wasn't in a sensitive enough position to warrant any kind of clearance.

I'm sure someone talked to him about it, but it's unlikely he got any sort of serious training.

He supposedly talked to someone who worked their way into his life over several years about non-sensitive, non-classified material related to local politics. I imagine he would have been more careful/aware if the "friend" was asking about classified information, or if his "friend" hadn't done it very slowly.

Why is a Snopes link being downvoted?
I'm currently an MBP user (and have been for several years). But I find myself not using the keyboard and screen that often, most of what I do is shuttle between home and office where I have better keyboards and larger screens. The mini looks like an interesting option because it can take more RAM than MBP, and is smaller/more portable. For those few times when I actually need a portable screen and keyboard, it may be possible to use an ipad pro for that, might be worth checking that out, or some other solution may be out there. Likewise on the MBP, I seldom actually need a battery, so I feel like I'm paying a huge premium for the laptop form factor.

That said, I can afford the MBP; as a professional, one shouldn't cheap out on tools that help you get your job done efficiently.

App Academy alums: 3 developers working on blockchain, AI,+ machine learning
I'm a remote working iOS / Android dev located in the countryside of Thailand.

Currently working for 40 USD / hour for 32 hours a week, so that means around 65.000 USD per year. This year I started fully working remotely and decided to start a bit at the low end, earnings-wise. When working previously as a freelancer in The Netherlands my last rate was around 80 USD / hour.

I intend to raise my rate to at least 50 USD per hour in 2019 and perhaps working 5 days a week, which would mean earning around 100.000 USD per year.
> It does depend on how you write your code but favoring pure functions, pushing immutability to the edges of your programs allows you to refactor without fear.

Dynamic typing is punitive if we make mistake (e.g. using the wrong architecture, now we have to refactor), and we'll make mistakes.

Writing perfect code with perfect architecture and perfect test has been the argument "for" dynamic typing, but I don't think that's a realistic assumption.
