Compare that to carbon dioxide, which also lasts in the atmosphere a long time (roughly 1-2 orders of magnitude less than nuclear waste, which on the other hand has very localised effects) and is released by thousands of coal power plants unchecked and with minimal regulation all over the world.

People forget that there are others not like them. There are plenty of companies that set deadlines and expect you to meet them, even if that means working the weekends when you’re behind. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, lots of people love the money and/or don’t have families. No one is forcing you to work there, so let them be.

When did the word ‘porting’ lose its notion of reusing similar code on another architecture and become synonymous with “rewriting in another language”?

This isn't a port at all. It represents a more major bifurcation than does even a traditional ‘fork’. It's very imprecise use of language.

Someone claimed that it was the bank's fault because they did nothing to prevent money laundering.
Why would they if they are not forced to? When you run a business you do not turn customers away, especially they they want to give you plenty of cash... It's naive or hypocritical to claim otherwise.
There is a standard analysis of English in generative grammar where verbs and tense are are seperate nodes at deep structure [0], and we get inflected verbs through some form of V-T movement [0]. Under this analysis, English clearly has a future tense. It just gets pronounced as its own word (will) instead instead of being involved in V-T movement. A more popular analysis is to replace "T" with "I", and do everything I talked about above. (The question here is really if other features share a d structure node with tense or if they all have their own functional nodes. I haven't seen a clear argument either way)

Edit: not clearly. There are still some additional assumptions to make with no clear evidence either way (notably, the category of "will"), and the definition of "tense" is a amnigous.

>> A company that doesn't hire you because you refuse to opt-out is breaking the law.

I'm nearly certain you are wrong on this point. A company definitely cannot fire you or mistreat you for not agreeing to the clause, but there's literally nothing in that page that you sent that would say it's illegal to not hire somebody just because they don't agree to the opt out.
I agree with everything you've said. We really need fewer people and won't get there fast enough. This planet can only sustain about half the people we already have.

We are acidying our oceans at an alarming rate and the consequences will come like a tsunami. We're on pace to completely drain the Ogallala Aquifer in the very near future and our main food production capabilities will disappear along with them.

We will slowly starve ourselves out first from the poorest countries and the richest ones last. It will be a very painful process. Thanos would be a mercy.

> Doctors, Police Officers, Morticians, Firefighters

Hold on. A firefighter is on call in the in the firehouse during their shift. The aren't (except in emergencies) working straight 24 hour shifts. I see them at the grocery store a lot during the day. How many teams of software developers are gaming, shopping and sleeping during their shifts?

most patrol officers work 5 consecutive 8-hour shifts followed by two days off, though emergency callouts are part of the job.

I don't know any morticians but I assume that is the same. Doctors are in a different category all together, and I'll bet their shifts and culture surrounding their hours are responsible for many, many deaths.

Once my architect wanted everything on python so I obliged, because of the size of the data I went with spark, but since we were using python I had to interface with it using pyspark, which still uses python 2, after a few months we start having all this problems with the py4j bridge in spark collapsing and us having to restart the service every few hours.

Fed up with the situation I rewrote the thing in Java/Scala and we haven’t touched the service ever since.

My point here is that using the right tool for the task can mitigate a myriad of issues, all the python knowledge in the world was not good when working with a java tool.

What is needed is balance, not every language is good for everything, not every framework can do it all and certainly not one engineer knows it’s all (either the individual contributor or the manager)

The extremetech link[0] given in the answer is probably more generally interesting. That article also explains how to access the MS Diagnostic Dataviewer which allows you to explore the collected data after you switch it on (from the Settings app go to Privacy -> Diagnostic & feedback). It also links to Microsoft's explicit listing of everything that they might collect for basic diagnostics[1].

Of course Microsoft could be lying but in that case you shouldn't be using their OS. To borrow a phrase: They have root. If you don't trust them then you don't trust your PC.

>People aren't robots they need breaks, vacations, time to decompress, time off when sick.

It's worth remembering that the only reason employees get these concessions is because unions and governments forced companies to do so under threat of (sometimes direct) violence, and that part of the "disruptive" philosophy of modern startup culture is an attempt to undermine and roll back these gains in labor rights under the pretense of free-market efficiency.

Basic tips on boosting site conversion
Because I actually worked professionally with Erlang and don’t think it’s a magic silver bullet my opinion is invalid? People should have a chance to hear alternative perspective and have a technical debate if they so chose.

I said in my post that I learned a lot from Erlang and it broadened my perspective, which is hardly negative. But there were also a lot of issues, and for all the good things Erlang did it also had a number of pain points in scaling and working with mnesia, dialyzer, even basic OTP building blocks. Erlang was also extremely difficult for my company to hire for, and pretty much everyone who came in had to learn Erlang from scratch, which was costly in terms of project time and meant we had essentially junior developers writing unfamiliar code.

Erlang is also a constant fight when deploying with a container orchestrator. They are two totally separate approaches to scaling and making Erlang act as ephemeral and have any value in a the ephemeral world is a huge pain that people should be aware of.

The rational response when those receiving the message are not compensated with exactly the same, non-dilutive equity share class as founders, is explained in Urban Dictionary [1] from the Goodfellas movie [2]. Pay peanuts, get monkey effort. If KPI's were negotiated simultaneously with compensation, then perhaps there might be some more negotiating leverage equity between parties and a more honest appraisal and synchronization between goals and compensation, but standard practice is compensation is negotiated on a lagging basis compared to how often KPI's are established/modified.

The whole applicant's-must-book-sales-for-free schtick was so trashy they pulled it [3] once it came to light.

I was referring to publishing comments as the equivalent of free speech or freedom of expression, and not about denying participation and/or discrimination. Why going so far with the reasoning?

It's not Youtube's responsibility to protect anything, they just need to keep things barely legal. They are doing this because of the dollars and public image. Youtube owes us nothing, let alone guaranteeing our freedom of expression or protecting classes. If they say so, it's just PR.

>There is a standard analysis of English in generative grammar where verbs and tense are are seperate nodes at deep structure

Yes, there is.

>Under this analysis, English clearly has a future tense.

No, this does not follow. You can just as easily (and more correctly) analyze "will" as a modal auxiliary like "can" or "would". Supposing it's true that "will" is the daughter of I/T/whatever, it doesn't follow that the I/T/whatever head has to have a future tense feature.

You could argue, and some people have, that at some level, the interpretation of "will" involves future tense in some semantic sense, which conceivably might be realized as a feature on a head somewhere in the inflectional spine of the tree. But that tense feature would not have the same kind of straightforward syntactic and morphological motivation as e.g. the +past feature does in English. In the context of a general audience, this isn't a notion of "tense" that's relevant. After all, in this highly abstract sense, even a language such as Chinese might have tense.

FWIW I have a PhD in (generative) syntax. I'm don't think that any generative syntactician addressing a general audience would describe English as having a future tense.
It'd be interesting to know how much they would lose if they did. There aren't a whole lot of alternatives. Some people currently on iOS would definitely buy Android if they were convinced Apple and Google were equivalent when it comes to selling their data. But how many?

I'm as offended by the CEO's attitude as the rest, but this seems like a way over-the-top response. It is literally NEVER OK for a superior to ask an employee to work overtime?

Insisting that your employees work weekends for months on end is obviously unacceptable. Asking your employees to work occasional overtime in certain circumstances hardly seems monstrous to me.
> There is no unit of English syntax which (i) behaves like a verb and (ii) has a distinct future form.

This seems like an arbitrary and peculiar way to define tense specifically to exclude periphrastic languages like English. If these are the rules by which we are arguing, the argument doesn't seem that interesting. By this argument colloquial French and German have no past tense because they use periphrastic constructions to expression this distinction.

But Japanese is not written as character soup. It mixes two (actually 3) types of characters, with the "grammatical" sounds being written in hiragana and most content sounds being written in kanji. Since the grammatical sounds are a closed class, and tend to occur at word boundries, it turns out to be relativly simple to seperate words.

While they do limit things in software unless you pay for them, this doesn't sound like one of those cases. It sounds more like they have found out how to safely take more power from the batteries and safely push more power to the motors through software.
The number one thing you would need to do is make it easy to modify safely.

Software will always need to change in that timeframe. If you make it head or risky to modify it then at some point it will get replaced.
Depends on what kind of software it is:

If its speed-oriented, C99(supported by most platforms).

If its security-oriented and needs to be maintained(e.g. a large project): Ada.

If its just needs to survive as long as possible and its web-based, JavaScript - amount of javascript multiplies with size of the web and all of it needs to work.

For everything non-performance critical, shell scripts and makefiles.

What i wouldn't pick:

1.Any language without a clear standard and backward compatibility.

2.Any language with one compiler/interpreter/library/framework dominating the market. ("Single-point-of-failure").

3.Any closed-source language compilers/frameworks/engines/libraries.

4.Any niche academic language, especially with poor FFI and lack of libraries/frameworks.

5.Anything that has a steep learning curve. You'll probably want it to be easy to modify, no heavy abstraction and no complex conventions.
atom is beautiful
She wasn't the only one. I'd guess more than half of them will not have done the task. Saying "you were the only one not doing it" is a way to lure her into eventually doing the task even though she initially decided against it by building up "imaginary peer pressure". And even better: if she has second thoughts and decides to do it, she just gave them a nice argumentative path to "decide" against her later anyway - after all, she did hesitate at first "to fully live up to her potential"...
The stochastic strategy is to 1. enumerate every possible tag combination 2. assign a probability to each one 3. choose the parse with highest probability.

1. can be done either deterministically or stochastically.

2. requires you to have a language model trained with either human-tagged or semi-human-tagged corpus

3. was just the Viterbi algorithm last time I looked.

Implementing 1 and 2 are require broad domain knowledge in two very different domains (linguistics and machine learning respectively)

So while nowadays sentence segmentation can be considered a solved problem, it's far from trivial to implement one that can compete with the state of the art against real-world data.

There is also a nice body of deterministic (rule-based) literature that is practically ignored nowadays.

> Australian government passed a bill that requires a backdoor to all software products

That's not quite accurate. There is now a legal mechanism that allows certain government agencies to force you to add a backdoor to your product. But until you are given a notice you don't need to do anything, and you can provide aggregated statistics to your users of how many requests you've been given. There are also some weasel-word caveats (the backdoor cannot be a "systemic vulnerability" but there has been much disagreement about whether this limitation actually means anything -- in my view it's basically meaningless within the context of a single company's product).

There is currently a review process open for the TOLA Act that closes in April[1], so any fellow Australians on HN should submit their comments -- there are only 65 submissions so far (and only 27 are by individuals).

I ditched Revolut last year and moved to Starling, pretty much entirely because I was sick of them trying to fucking sell me stuff in a "banking app" (they weren't a registered bank at the time, AFAIK). It became near impossible to actually use their app due to the amount of marketing horseshit being rammed through it, so I left, moved to Starling (which is fantastic) and I'll never go back.

In fact Starling has been so good that I've largely left my existing bank for them.
