I spent a while living abroad. Here is a nugget I found out. You don’t have to go through the schools exchange program. It’s vastly cheaper to simply apply yourself. Then make sure the credits transfer back (most will if the school isn’t particularly choosy). Most exchanges charge you standard tuition. Works out great for the foreign student but not so great for the American exchange student paying US tuition.

A colleague of mine (french) did his exchange at Stanford. He really enjoyed it. Enjoyed it even more once he found out what Stanford students were paying ($$$$) compared to what he was paying, PARIS-IX is practically free.

your statement sounds like this is a point of view taken by the majority of people who live in Europe. Simple facts about the number and density of cities through out the history of the continent point to the exact opposite.
More people should focus on the following, in my humble opinion:

- be consistent and reliable

- learn about your company's business goals

- focus on delivering value for the business instead of writing "clean/bespoke/artisan" code

- don't get emotionally attached to your own code or a piece of technology

- learn how to educate other stake-holders

- learn how to negotiate with non-technical folks without being annoying and overstepping your boundaries (this can be difficult)
Would it be a better solution to let users categorize themselves freely with tags they can type themselves?
"cut off ... soon" is an exaggeration and not what I've said.
I've been around a while and seen many languages and products being developed and hyped up by one company for 5, 10, 15 years and then bent out of shape, or sold out, or being put on life support. Sometimes when the company wants to push a new, competing product, often times their priorities change and they stop focusing on the needs of the developer community.

Works well, as old-school as it may look.
That is a fair perspective on the platform. I initially created the website because of a lack of women in my following list - I had ~80% men and only 20% women, many of which were friends of mine (as a woman myself). I struggled to find women in my field (technology), and this was the origin of Twiverse - allowing you to use filters and categories to find different people.

I understand it might feel biased with the current filters, but I could not have endless filters in the platform right on launch, considering the lack of users, so I thought of a few, implemented them, and reached out to as many people I knew with that criteria to try to have a userbase for each.

In terms of your concern in regards to men, truth is I made the category for women after receiving a suggestion from a partner of mine who wanted to have a page displaying women to feature in her newsletter, and I decided to implement it as a bit of an extra. See that I did not add any other category like that around, it was a lot of extra work and it did not feel worth it. Other than that, keep in mind you may search for any of the categories for only men by selecting said filter, so I don't think you are so right to call me out on the supposed wrongdoing.

Religion & political ideology were 2 filters I wanted to implement prior to launch but I did not fearing controversy, specially as a small & young maker trying to get a (good) reputation. Then again, I might implement those in the future, as the website grows. Thanks for the reminder.

Overall, I would say that your comment has a good basis, but you seem to have omitted the fact that the website's core concept is to find diverse users, as in minorities & underprivileged group, and men don't happen to be one of those groups. Nonetheless, if the random women section bothers too many people (I've received a few complaints sadly, in spite of the plenty of positive comments that many people have sent me in regards to it), I might get rid of it and replace it for something a little bit more customizable. I will see. Thank you for the insight.

I don't think there is any much "innovativity" in that approach, just urban development done right.
Good idea, I wanted to implement dynamic categories in the beginning, but somehow the idea got lost in the way. I simply feared that without enough users, most dynamically created categories would be broken and this would be a major put off for the initial users. As the platform has been growing quite rapidly, it is certainly a feature planned in my roadmap.

Here is an idea: if there is a side walk, the speed limit is automatically capped at 25mph (unless there's a sign that says the speed limit is lower).

Thoughts?
Thank you! When you become a patron, your profile is displayed in a category on the right sidebar and sticked on the top of every category. A patron user reported an increase of twice her usual daily followers just today, if that gives some reference of its performance. Unless you mean something else by the rankings?

I was going to make an example out of these interactions..

My experience is that in smaller towns you see the same store clerks, mailmen, and other service people again and again and they will recognize you. Some will have a little chat with you, and you get to talk about your life every once in a while, even if just a little. That kind of daily interaction is a heck of a lot more than one might have living in the isolation of a big city where the same service people are too busy serving too many faces to really recognize or chat with you. For a total loner, it could mean a lot.
Fully hydrogenated fats contain (virtually?) no trans fats. I'm curious why the shift was to palm oil, rather than to just fully hydrogenating the oil and then blending it with unhydrogenated oil to achieve the desired consistency.
True, the bio being collapsed was critiqued by several people prior to the launch, and I simply kept it this way to be able to show more users at once, and for aesthetic reasons. You may still search by certain users based on the keywords, which you can insert in the search box. Keep in mind once you check out one of the users listed in Twiverse, you can always read their tweets, bio & other to decide for yourself if they are worth following. Appreciate your feedback though!
You don't need to dig that deep. Brainstation sells bootcamps in downtown Toronto. If they can show that working in tech in Toronto yields crazy opportunities and salary, they'll get more people to buy their bootcamps.

If you look behind the stories and check on which company's blog or who wrote these praises to Toronto, you'll see they all have something to sell from people thinking that Toronto is the place to be. Usual incentives include: difficulty hiring cheap talent, astroturfing for more VC money, selling a Toronto-tech related product.
>other costs that are already beginning to dominate

Which is an argument for trying to make cells more efficient like the ones in the article apparently looking at 43-90% as against something like 18% for typical cell. If most of your costs are installing etc then those can remain the same while you get twice the output.

On metro systems (especially older ones) there are often tight constraints on train length, so that they can fit between sets of signals or points without fouling them, for example.

Pointy aerodynamic noses increase train length without increasing passenger capacity. Generally you want to maximise capacity while staying within the maximum allowed train length.
For sure. But we all experience things differently, right? Hence being able to debate it. Doesn't make my opinion any less valid.
I probably did not express myself clear enough in my previous post. I certainly support teaching different languages as long as they are very different - such as Prolog + Haskell + C for example. I simply do not see the point of teaching multiple language that are basically the same (C++ + Java + C# + Python for example).
>Low interest rates and innovations in the mortgage market may also be to blame

Low interest rates and innovations in the mortgage market are to blame

You are simply letting a person to buy more of any big, expensive asset. And the thing does gets out of control fast when there is a even minimal expectation of appreciation, and inflation fears.

And that on top of the fact that real estate is the only "investment" possible for an ordinary person without employing an officeload of securities attorneys in many countries.

I don't think so. We are way past the economic incentives or the market efficiency theories.

Carbon emissions have to stop to save what can be, period.

> You can see by the responses that this is quite controversial.

I don't think the tangent this discussion has taken is any indication that the original claim was controversial - merely that it's very easy to get bogged down in meta-discussions that detract from the actual issue being discussed. I don't think anyone could reasonably dispute the original statement - unless their interpretation of it was wildly different to mine. If that's the case then it's not lack of supporting evidence that's the problem - it's clarity of communication.
Yes, agree 100% - hence a more open question (and then feeling the direction from there).
I don't know why you are being downvoted. We are seeing gasoline tax money moving to other budgets (not env, not energy) in my country.
Border adjustments are a well understood policy solution to this issue. Imports from polluting countries are taxed appropriately, and exports to those countries subsidized. From the perspective of anyone inside the nation with the border adjustment, it’s as though the whole world implemented the carbon tax.

I find that a useful technique for cutting through the standard "small talk" polite answers is to ask several almost the same but slightly different questions. If people are interested in talking, they'll feel awkward responding with the same canned phrase several times, and give you some sort of hook to carry the conversation further.
PS4 and XB One both have "secret" memory areas which I think are encrypted.

We use these features to store small amounts of very sensitive data, key material for example.
Quality of life is low in Toronto IMHO. It's impossible to find a decent apartment to rent for most: not necessarily because rents are crazy high (2k/mo for a 1BR poorly built condo anyone?) but because landlords are so picky that if you don't offer more than the asking rent include a personal letter, and are luckier than the other 50 applicants, you'll never get a place to live in. The city is also overly crowded and polluted. Traffic is beyond ridiculous, cycling is a nightmare (most dangerous city to cycle in North America). People here are obsessed with money and with living to work. There aren't that many parks and green spaces but a lot of concrete, noise and pollution. A significant number of employers demand that you incorporate so they can "hire" you as a freelancer rather than an employee, and so that the tax fallout of being reclassified as an employee is all on you (because you incorporated.) Overtime is rampant, and most of my colleagues are happy to oblige. Really, Toronto is not a nice place to live. It's an interesting experience because of how diverse it is (I've never seen so many people from so many countries, and I've lived abroad a lot!), but don't come here for quality of life or to make a good living.
Starbucks is a very interesting part of this.

It’s success in the 90’s and early 2000’s was largely due to it being a “third place” — the place where people would gather outside of home or the office. It was very social. Very much like the way the corner bar used to serve the same function in decades past.

But then Starbucks decided it didn’t want people hanging around in the stores so much, in order to make room for more merchandise and to increase churn. They were reconfigured to make people go in, spend their money, and then just go. Or worse — use the drive-thru.

I actually met the person responsible for the furniture at Starbucks stores. This was right about when the stores got rid of comfy, squishy chairs and went to those tall, spindly metal backless stools. I asked her how anyone was supposed to sit comfortably on those things for a long period of time. She didn’t have an answer, and then the corporate PR guy stepped in.

She was a small person of Asian descent and, IMO, had designed Starbucks’ furniture for herself and her circle, which fit nicely into Starbucks’ density goals. To me, it seemed like it never occurred to her that people of statistically average size, or even fat people, should be made comfortable in the stores.

If you were a frequent visitor of Starbucks in the 00’s, you’ll remember it was right about then that the coffee chain went from being a neighborhood fixture to just another corporate outpost.
You're too kind, thanks. Best wishes.

Not sure about perfect but it's probably close.

If you can solve any of the outstanding problems no one is going to care where you come from, gender, political views, socioeconomic status etc.

That seems quite meritocratic to me. Compare that to say a distinguished position such as a Supreme Court judge appointment.
I think you're overthinking it. The isomorphism simply exists. And you don't wrap things into a monad, you just write an instance for it -- it has no effect on the data type itself, it simply allows to use the data type in monadic contexts.
There is a skill to running a friend group which regularly does activities together. It isn't a particularly deep or study-intensive skill, but there are things to learn about how to communicate about logistics and activity-preferences. Once you learn that and are able to practice it, having friends becomes much easier.

It does however also depend on meeting people who also have a reasonable level of logistical and calendar-management skill. Not everyone has this skill and not everyone prioritizes exercising it. If you have contacts who cannot unambiguously agree to meet you at a particular time at a particular pizza restaurant, you have to be willing to search out different contacts who do have sufficient skill, caring, and resources.
Agreed. This advice also isn’t anything new. One of the key lessons of “How to Win Friends and Influence People” is to ask people about themselves.

I don't really think that there's such a huge difference between developers in remote countries and developers in first-world countries. Just like many programmers would have imposter syndromes, many unheard-of programmers in poorer places are equally great. The only (or at least foremost) reason they're paid less is simply that they can afford to live a good life with such pay anyways.

The biggest disadvantage to those outsourced developers might be that they didn't have the chance to learn English as well as the first-world devs, and thus might have issues with communication, which is a huge part of software engineering for sure. But in terms of abilities to learn, they are not worse than anybody.

>A citation can’t somehow “prove” a moral statement.

A moral statement doesn't prove itself. Someone has to prove it, either by providing an argument themselves, which the poster didn't do, or citing an external source of proof.

>ethnicity/gender/etc. should not affect one’s opportunities in science, and then claiming that there is still work to be done in achieving that goal.

That claim still requires a supporting argument: evidence to support that ethnicity/gender/etc. is affecting peoples' opportunities in science.
Well, the article keeps saying "mammal relatives". They're really just saying it was a cynodont. Mammals are the only remaining cynodonts, but there used to be other kinds. I'm pretty sure this doesn't challenge the idea that, at the time, mammals were all still small shrew-like jobbies. For one (totally not a biologist, but I do spend way too much time at museums) its skull doesn't really look mammalian to me.

I use it on my RPis, but now I am going to try nnn if it runs on ARM. MC is legendary though and the fact that supports multiple transfer protocols is a very helpful.
That sounds like a old, outdated stereotype from a 1990’s cartoon.

Many (most?) American cities of any size have spent the last 20-25 years trying hard to make their cities more pedestrian friendly. Some even require that any new building over xx floors have street-level retail or other gathering places in order to make urban life more vibrant.

Unfortunately, success is scattered. It’s a chicken-and-egg problem. But as more people move to cities, things seem to be improving.
Agreed. For most fast paced multiplayer games, UDP would be better. It depends on the specific use case though. TCP has some advantages when you need features like authentication and encryption because packets are guaranteed to be delivered in-order for the life of the connection; this feature is important for TLS block ciphers. With UDP, you may end up having to reinvent some features that are already offered by TCP and your solution might end up worse overall. So you have to find the balance between code simplicity and performance.

TCP can cover more use cases than UDP but for some use cases this will be at the expense of performance.

If you look at the original post I was responding to, it asked the post it was responding to to supply scientific evidence to refute the claim it was making. It's one thing to make unsupported statements, it's another thing entirely to make an unsupported statement then claim the burden of proof is on somebody else to supply scientific evidence to refute one's claim (a claim for which no evidence has been provided).

How having the word "sweatshop" in the title is trying to glorify the person is totally beyond me. So any lengthy investigative journalism that lists the subject's life story is a glorification? Then all the media attack on Donald Trump's history is also trying to eulogize him then.

Also I find it amusing that it's the "patent troll" part that turned out to be repulsive to you, but not the part about paying remote devs much less money than local devs.
You are returning new state of the world with every call that modified it and using monad guarantees your calls are sequential. Where is the obscurity?
Very little of which is communicated in any way to help someone learn how compilers work.

In the actual history of computing very few good compilers were ever written by algorithm and data structures professors; most were written by people who had a pragmatic drive to get something done. Theory is good but without practice it is little more than navel gazing. Theory and practice need each other.

The reason that nand2tetris works so well as a course is that it gives you a concrete example of how all these algorithms and data structures are combined in order to turn an abstract description (the source code) into a running program that also includes how that computing is achieved through compiler, assembler, linker, run time, operating system, isa, and finally in transistors.

The true issue it gets to is that most programmers have very little understanding of how computers actually work, and when things break they just do high order guessing to get things working again rather than truly understanding what went wrong.
Ah sorry to..provoke you. I don't know you personally. Don't know why you are suddenly being..unpleasant. I didn't think I was unkind - I did say when you explained you made total sense. The vast majority of my dear friends are christians. And many christians do believe that because something's in the bible, it must be right. So I thought maybe you do too. How that shows unkindness or disregard to you, or blindness, I don't know.

By 'biblical platitudes', I meant, well, your point was the 'mote in your neighbour's eye, beam in your own', right? That's why you were saying every bad thing they saw in someone else, the same or worse was in them? Maybe I'm wrong about that.

I was focused on specifically what you said. Sorry if you don't want to face the implications of that. I'll try to forget about it too, I guess. Maybe we aren't so alike? Good luck.

Thank you for your reply, and no worries for not being familiar with mc. I addressed the question generally to HN, hoping for some feedaback from anyone who happens to have used both.

EDIT: One nice thing that mc has is that it lets you open a remote shell via ssh. I use that a lot (I find sc syntax a big pain) so I'd miss that a lot in nnn. Sorry if that feature is included and I failed to spot it.
