No language has this down, but there's an environment manager (pip, rustup, rbenv..) that try to do all, and avoid the need to handle more than one "magic" session in your bashrc(etc): "asdf":

Now, a few new languages do come with pretty decent "virtual env" thingy-s , but most stumble for a few years.

So far (past year) I've been pretty happy with asdf. Mostly use it for ruby and node - but also rust and golang, lisp, Java and ocaml (mostly as a "consumer" of various cli tools, and/or toy projects.

>who typically do not want their neighborhood filled with addicts who have moved in to get free services, free needles, and safe spaces.

The lack of a policy for dealing with homeless addicts is a effectively just a policy of keeping them in the poorest neighborhoods. Ignoring them doesn't make them go away, we can do better.
It could be described more accurately as "work for room and board—in a luxury mansion".

There are lots of programs where people work for room and board in order to have an interesting experience that's different from their everyday lives. Maybe a lot of people would want to do this one. But indeed, it's not really "for free".
"Shared responsbility" is one of those ideas that sounds good on paper, but doesn't really scale terribly well in the real world. As the old saying goes "when everybody is responsible, nobody is responsible".

More to the point, as the author of TFA allows, once a system reaches a certain size, nobody can understand it all. At some point you have to engage division of labor /specialization, and once you do that, it doesn't make sense to have just anybody randomly making changes in parts of the code-base they don't normally work in.

I'd rather see a poly-repo approach, with a designated owner for discrete modules, but where anybody can clone any repo, make a proposed fix, and submit a PR. Basically "internal open source" or "inner source"[1].

In my experience, this is about as close as you can get to a "best of both worlds" situation. But, as the author of TFA also says, you absolutely can make either approach work.

These were examples of the choices one has to make when using Haskell; it is far from exhaustive. The point is that IMO Haskell undervalues consistency and standardization.

Sort of, but that's not why. Modern authoritarian governments, historically, are volatile. The Soviet Union lasted about 75 years, and that's pretty much a record for stability. The PRC is just getting to that age now.

My evidence is mostly anecdotal, unfortunately. Most of my experimentation was KVM in KVM from about 2012 and i saw frequent long pauses in the kernel, lockups, and kernel panics. At the time, the attitude from the qemu-kvm community was that it wasn't a high priority and that it may or may not work. It is possible that it is better now, but redhat's opinion[1] as of last year was still that it wasn't supported in production. I don't know if it is any better with other hypervisors. Last week, for example, I ran into an issue with nested virt in vmware fusion[2] that prevented me from running kvm in a guest. I would need a bunch of testing before I trusted it.

It looks like xen has spotty support[3] as well. Amazon uses a heavily forked version of xen, so I suspect support for it is even worse on their version.

It was recently announced that King County and the City of Seattle want to consolidate their homeless response into a single agency.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/durkan-and-constan...

Hopefully this can be a good step forward in the right direction. As mentioned by other comments, there are much better resources for learning about homelessness in Seattle than an interview with a dropout Seattle City Council candidate who has a pretty clear political agenda.
These are some great points. I appreciate you taking the time to write them down. I'll see which of them I can implement.

a) Comparison with previous years will be totally doable. As a quick hack you can simply compare with https://startup.jobs/trends/2017 – but I understand ideally you want the graphs to show the comparison.

b) Jobs by Startup. This is indeed something I'm planning to add to the Startup pages like http://startup.jobs/@carvana

c) I agree salary information would be super interesting. Unfortunately very little of that is public information so I simply don't have it.

d) Data goes back to mid 2016 so we don't have a ton of historical data. But for next year I could look into historical line graphs for top 10 companies.

e) I like the idea of cross referencing sector/skill and remote work. I do have the data to compare e.g. engineering jobs versus communication/PR jobs in terms of remote job openings.

There likely are better ways to spend $100k.
I feel the same way about public housing. Why even have a job? I make $200k per year, and I don't want to spend $600K on a house -- yet that's what the average public housing unit costs in LA. If you win the poverty lottery, you get to live there for free. Well, what about EVERYONE else I know my age that doesn't work in tech and -- at current prices -- won't ever be able to buy a house? They've gotta work all day and live 6 adults to a house. But if you're poor, and you get the golden ticket, it's all gravy. Doesn't seem fair.

Again, it'd be great if everyone, you know, everyone could have a roof over their head. But how come if you work an average job you have to share an apartment with 2 other adults. And if you're poor and lucky, we just give you a brand new unit for free? And what about all the poor people that aren't lucky? They just get nothing, while someone else lives like a poor king.

There's got to be a better use for $600K...
You can but most of the time, especially with Linked Data, an URL is required. And sometime even a dereferencable one. So you have this weird situation where you never really know if an URL is "semantic" (just a string actually) or can be accessed. Also having a dependency on the DNS system is a bad idea in my opinion. It's really clear when you read 2 years old semantic web paper and every link is broken.

That's a good point. Seems like a bit of a hole in the system though. Why does it have to be so hard for an organization succeed without an existing connection to success? If Steve hadn't funded Pixar, then we wouldn't have gotten a bunch of cool stuff. I would guess there are hundreds of Pixars that had no Steve. Of course there is no obvious answer to this problem, and the system we have is way way better than what was available historically.
The English language often has multiple synonyms with a difference in connotation. Discover and invent may be synonyms (although many would disagree), but everybody would agree at least the connotation is different.

My hypothesis above was that there may be languages where that connotation does not exist.

Is there a reason no one has built a Cygwin-like environment for iOS yet? As in, is it because (1) it's time-consuming, (2) it's tricky, or (3) Apple won't allow it on their App Store?
The point of looking first, as explained by my instructor, was to not freak out other drivers by signaling first. They might think you're going to suddenly pop out of the lane, spooking them to either speed up or slow down, or perhaps swirving, causing an accident that way. By looking first to make sure things are clear, you mitigate this risk. Of course, in heavy traffic this is still an issue; but heavy traffic typically means lower speeds as well so not necessarily as dangerous. That's the bit that comes with experience I suppose, learning when more attention is necessary.
Because most addicts want to better themselves and once basic needs are met they have the ability too.

The only change I'd make to this is to let addicts out, and not completely disconnect them from society.

>And really, does merely owning some sort of iPhone really confer status anywhere anymore, if it ever did?

No, but owning a newer one impresses those easily impressed. It says to others that you can afford it. The Internet, at the least, is rife with memes about Android users being "cheap". Gifts of iPhones are often also highly valued over Androids as gifts.

The same sort of person impressed by expensive handbags and highstreet designer clothing in everyday situations is the same sort of person impressed by iPhones and sport cars in cities. I don't mean to pass any judgement when I say that, but I find the notion that people simply don't think "but I'll look poor if I use that" (perhaps unjustifiably, perhaps unconsciously) to be simply absurd. The vast quantity and desire for such show off products would show you wrong.

The truth is that few people (and I know that this might sound unbelievable to a HN reader) simply don't care very much about a phone's functionality beyond availability of apps (which is almost at parity level between Android and iPhone), performance (the minimum accepted being met by almost all popular phones) and integration with other tech (which seems to matter less now that people have moved from using iTunes to Spotify, YouTube and Netflix).

The look and high price are absolutely reasons why someone might prefer to buy and iPhone. It may not confer status to you but it seems to for a lot of others.
People who drove cars in the EU and in the USA: did you ever notice how the blind spot problem almost completely disappears in the EU? That's because US enforces in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard #111 [1] that the left side rear view mirror cannot be convex, to aid the detection of the vehicles in the blind spot. I have not yet come up with a good understanding of why that regulation even exists, but personally I feel much safer on the road with the European type rear view mirrors.

Hell, half the time, when I suggest that people should avoid sugar, someone says, "but, people need sugar to survive." How do you correct decades of disinformation?

If I could estimate the top 3 causes for disease in modern western culture it would be Refined Sugar (high fructose intake), Low Fat Diets (too little for a healthy body) and Refined Vegetable Oils (linoleic acid leads to increased intake of carbs). All centered around diet.

The standard of care, of course is to prescribe medications that lower markers for several diseases even if it doesn't help the causes for the elevated markers, exacerbates the problems, and has worse mortality.

> (and unless I'm mistaken, it seems to assume that all of your code lives in your repository--pulling dependencies from Pypi seems like a fourth class citizen).

My feelings here are apart from your tool of choice (Pypi) so read them with that in mind.

Why are you dependent on 3rd party code that isn't in your repo? I am a huge advocate of the monorepo and vendoring. Depending on your tooling of choice and your workflow checks for updates on this third party code should be frequent (security) and done by someone qualified (not a job for the "new guy").

The question is where should this start and end? The answer (for me) is everything and I have elected to use less (and reduce complexity) to avoid bloat. Really though this is an artifact of my use of Git: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/233327/is-it-possib... --

> Common knowledge used to be that an addict needs to hit "rock bottom" before they will turn their life around.

There are some newer treatments of drug addiction (e.g. wrt. opioids) that seem to hit a useful middle ground. They do more than simply letting the addict hit "rock bottom", e.g. they do mitigate the effects of physical dependence and withdrawal - but they seemingly do not replicate the "rewarding" and "addictive" effects of the drug. They're still rather controversial, precisely because nobody wants to inadvertently "enable" an opioid junkie in their destructive habit, but their use may be worthwhile here.

You are right. I went back and read hdcp spec. Now I understand my confusion. What I experienced multiple times with hdcp and bad/low quality cable/connection was screen going blank for a short moment. I always assumed it was cryptography itself breaking apart, but the spec requires resetting connection in case of logged TMDS layer errors

" While the receiver may reach a determination
sooner, the receiver must determine loss of synchronization at least by the time it has detected 50
consecutive data island packets with ECC errors. The HDCP Receiver must either assert the
REAUTH_REQ bit of the RxStatus register or de-assert HDCP_HPD to the upstream transmitter
once it determines loss of synchronization. "

He tends to be biased more towards criminalizing homelessness and institutionalizing them. I also noticed in this podcast he makes claims that are simply not backed up by evidence, specifically when he's talking about Canada and the safe injection sites.

This isn't to say that homelessness isn't a problem in Seattle, because it is. We're seeing similar issues happen to San Francisco as in Seattle due to rising rent and poor healthcare opportunities and there's unfortunately no easy solution.

The criticism here is that google's leaders and employees have explicitly advocated on behalf of and contributed to leftist causes, which promote the view that taxation should be greatly increased to decrease inequality, pay for government programs, or myriad other reasons. When Trump was elected, they had company-wide meetings concerning the sad state of the country, where melancholy leftists could vent their unhappiness (no such reaction greeted Obama's election). James Damore was harassed and eventually fired when he accepted the (fake) invitation to challenge "Social Justice" orthodoxy concerning gender. They didn't address his evidence, but rather went after his livelihood.

My point being: they are one of the richest companies in the world, committed to a leftist worldview. The fact that they do everything they can to funnel money away from the poor, downtrodden, socioeconomically-disadvantaged, marginalized, etc., which they so loudly proclaim "need our help!"---the word hypocrisy doesn't even cut it.

You're ignoring how life-altering it becomes as one ages and the immune system declines.

I've had elderly relatives down with shingles, caused by the herpes virus, for months. Their shingles being a very latent reappearance of Chickenpox acquired in childhood. These viruses are opportunistic, and you will grow weaker in time, if you don't die first.

The stigma, in this case, is appropriate in my opinion.

It surprises me how cavalier everyone has been about HPV and Chickenpox throughout my lifetime. At least we've finally appreciated how HPV causes most cervical cancers and have developed routine immunization there. We badly need to develop Herpes vaccines. I'm confident once we have them, it will conveniently become "discovered" that HSV has been quietly responsible for some prolific form of suffering like Alzheimers and/or Parkinsons all this time.
