Physics hardly any more applicable to software development than biology is, especially areas like biostats or neurophysiology that involve directly writing code.

But these numbers sure suggest that something is wrong with computer science departments.

> I'm trying to protect lives with very little impact to things that matter

I don't see what you're doing to protect lives by commenting on HN.

Stop throwing around that 0.01% stat you made up. More than 1 in every 10,000 people take their car to a track day at least once in their lifetime.
I don’t think anyone is arguing for no regulation. I am supporting competition within a regulatory framework. Constitutional, consumer, environmental, and other similar protections are all critical. It’s a reality that there remain very different philosophies regarding local governance — taxation, public services, public-private partnerships, etc. and some appropriate level of competition seems to be the best way to test competing approaches and compare outcomes.
The data is already publicly available for use and reuse, just in a different form. Why would it be any different than the rules regarding the public/api display of the information?
I think it's related to gear ratio and redline. My 89 Honda Accord LX-i needed around 3250 RPM to hit 70. The speedometer maxed at 130. If you extrapolate that's about right. I found out it was drag /horsepower limited to just over 100 but if it had the power the actual max before possible engine damage would be 130.

Of course this is based off one car so I could be totally wrong.

So I disagree about the distinction, I have many Indian and Chinese friends who have no obligation to take care of their parents (admittedly from middle class backgrounds). And then I have two good friends who are American of long ago European descent who definitely help their parents out with the bills extensively.

To answer your question though, I've seen it as common in both eastern and western families of means to not be expected to take care of your parents as much.
Hmmm, that excludes fields like anthropology and geography that the best developers I've worked with studied: understanding systems involving both people and technology is much harder than building an if-loop.
Robokiller is an amazing app that has dropped by robocalls to almost zero. It's paid but well worth it imo
Its not just whether the API is available but whether its practical to use. I'm not sure which browsers recognize or support fingerprint readers, though all the implementations seem to support usb u2f.

Feels like a total failure to launch that the spec doesn't recommend the use of browser accounts as credential providers. Every single major browser has an associated web account with it (Firefox Account, Google account, Microsoft account, Apple id, etc) and could trivially use those accounts as authentication providers.
In practice this is significantly smaller issue than most media and techies made out to be.

Most devices are USB, they work and charge over the connector just fine. On laptops, connecting displays work as well. They will either use TB or negotiate for HDMI/DP which is also fine.

The only real outliers are crappy companies which deliberately break protocols like Nintendo on their Switch.
I don't believe so. There are 2 cultural differences I've noticed as a son to immigrant parents in the US.

1) My parents primary goal was to make life better for their kids. It was in a nutshell why they immigrated in the first place - not to improve their own lives.
2) It's the responsibility of the kids to care for their parents. The idea of nursing homes is so foreign and repulsive to my parents (and myself for that matter).

This is a generalization but, from my experience, that's baked into eastern culture across classes.
I'm not entirely sure on the details. Some similar companies were getting bought for hundreds of millions, ours was only an 8 figure deal, not 9 figures haha.

we went through multiple rounds of funding so shares got diluted...However we fucking made it , which is nuts.
> lack of parental leave policies in most software firms that would allow their partners to stay at home should a child be born in their household,

I've never heard of such a policy, or perhaps I'm misunderstanding your comment. Are you suggesting that companies should have policies that affect what the spouses/partners of employees do in terms of caring for children? Why would an employer have any right to say what their employee's spouses/partners do with their time? Or are you suggesting that employers should somehow provide compensation in this situation? I also don't understand how that would work (and I don't think the lack of such policies is specific to software firms).
Copper thunderbolt limit is 3 m. Optical thunderbolt can go much farther (naturally) but I've never seen it in the wild -- it might even have been abandoned by now.
I don't take the downvotes personally (it's not my post, after all) but it makes me rather curious.

I think it strange that a liberal audience would dispute the fact that there are differences between men and women, even significant differences.
Clio has a network-based approach to parallelism. It compiles to JS and uses Node to run the generated JS code, so just like Node, it is single threaded. Having a specification for remote calls gives us a few benefits, for example:

1. We can use async remote function calls to run several tasks simultaneously. Why block and wait for the results when we can request the next one? This way you can also use resources on other machines on the network. This solves the single threaded only issue.

2. We can use functions and some libraries of other languages

I also wanted to make these simple tasks easier for the developer. 20-30 years ago things didn't work like now, today we have new concepts: serverless, cloud, saas... now things are different and it's nice to have some helpers in the core. I actually started working on this project because of the difficulties I had with C/Python/JavaScript when I was making a cloud heavy app.

One more reason for this is that I want to encourage our users to write smaller independent and interconnected programs instead of making a giant monolithic app. This helps a lot with maintainability and portability.
I'm a little confused here; 15MM over 20 years doesn't sound like a huge amount of money, and if the data center is being built on the grounds of a coal power facility that is being decommissioned, it's not clear how Sherburne County was going to see that money anyways. Becker is a very small town 45 minutes away from MSP; what negotiating leverage do they have? Even with the tax package, how is this a net negative for Becker?

Google is apparently getting a bigger break from New Albany, which is on the outskirts of Columbus OH.
Total non-economic argument: What if I don't trust Google? Amazon? Or any other cloud provider with similar low costs? Am I put in pigeonholes if I run own servers?

(Disclaimer: I run a few colocated servers but don't have to pay the bill, so I can afford writing non-professional comments ;-) )

Except that when you eat cholesterol, it is digested and absorbed from the food as cholesterol, not lipoproteins. So it's really silly to say there's "bad" or "good" cholesterol in food.

The main purpose of lipoproteins such as LDL and HDL is to carry fatty fuel around the body. Cholesterol just gets a ride-share along with the fat since it is not water (and by extension blood) soluble.

And the thing that makes levels of HDL and LDL in the blood "bad" has more to do with high blood sugar messing up the lipoproteins' ability to identify itself to the liver (search oxidation & glycation of lipoproteins) which causes excess levels in the blood, than it has to do with cholesterol.

IMO the focus on cholesterol (edit: as the source of disease) in popular science and medicine has been a huge mistake.

Clearly we need a "semantic versioning" campaign for USB.
Yes, but those higher state taxes were offset at the federal level, so really the people of those states were voting to shift federal burden to state level. But then the new tax plan pulled the rug out from under them. The rules changed in the middle of the game and ruined a previously reasonable tax rate.

So, if the if branch is taken, then the function could really return 0, right?

So GCC has to have some instruction somewhere that ensures eax is 0 at the end of the function in case the if was taken.
That's why it can't just leave a garbage value in eax. Sometimes it's not actually garbage.

And when it really is garbage? Well who cares, might as well return 0.
I'm surprised that one of the simplest solutions hasn't been tried. Bail bondsmen are restricted by statute on how much they can charge; we should at least consider lowering the rate from 10% to something much lower (1-2%?) and putting tools like follow-up text messages, etc., in the hands of these agencies. It's not ideal but it is in their best interest to ensure that their clients show up in court rather than have to chase them down.
My mother has this feature (in UK). The first time you call, it will send you to the voicemail and ask you to state who you are. Then she gets a notification and can listen to the message. If she phones you back, the number you are calling from is whitelisted. I think she can press something else to blacklist you, otherwise you stay in the grey zone and will always go to the voicemail. I think she has had a couple of people not leave a message several times and eventually blocked them where she would have been completely happy to speak to them if she only knew who they were..
@kartan, there is a lot of valid reasons to give an incentive such as a tax break to a large company, I will list a few:

1. Brand name corporation in your community, leading to new businesses propping up

2. Increase land-value in the area, leading to higher city taxes

3. Income, corporate and other taxes associated with the company's project & continuous operation

4. Long-term certainty. Most companies wont build a data center only to scrap the project in 2 years.

5. Economic multiplier. If we assume that each job is tied to $100,000 in income, taxes, benefits, etc and there are 2,300 jobs for 24months, we are looking at $345M-460M in 2 years. Run an economic multiplier and you may be reaching the billion mark

6. Plenty of city,state,federal projects run at a negative or neutral economic value. Having a business such as Google offering to bring business to your hometown will certainly make you listen to them and consider their offer.

It becomes a matter of cost/benefit analysis and ensuring that the community accepting this transaction understands and has the option to complain about it.

I agree that if everyone plays this game, we may reach a point where governments are fully subsidizing every business (there are already plenty of businesses subsidized by governments). It is a matter of finding the right balance.
That figure is almost reversed in many third world countries. In my CS undergrad, there were 40 women and 20 men.
pulling my MacBook Pro out of my backpack to look, it looks like they aren't fans of iconography to say what a port is capable of either. Can't remember if my old 2013 MBP had the icons or not, but my current one for sure doesn't.
So remind me, why can you walk into any apple store, pick up a new MacBook and a 5K LG monitor, and when you plug in the monitor using the USB-C cable that was bundled with the MacBook it just won't work at all?

My point is - the standards might be back and forward compatible. But the cables and ports definitely aren't - and your average consumer has absolutely no way of knowing. They look absolutely identical on the outside and when they don't work it's for completely non-obvious reasons.
> this is such an odd statement. federal and state governments have no entitlement to any type or class of tax, so stealing is an inappropriate description. the federal government can collect taxes in any way congress decides (with implicit citizen support).

Don't get lost in semantics. The point is that deductible state income tax incentivizes states to prefer income taxes to other forms of taxation. There is no explicit reason to encourage this, therefore it should not be encouraged.
But you can't charge a laptop with an optical cable. As for copper, I understand you don't get 40gbps with a 3m cable (though not a specialist).
No, its a shitty way of doing it that will never work in practice.

Nobody will remember where those are.

They will likely download the pdf, store it in downloads, where it will be used by some Trojan to hijack their account, or they will lose it during a device switch or some dataloss event.

Telling people to store one time codes securely and reliably, for every single account they own, and telling them that will only work for the services that bothered to add that on to their implantation of the standard, works for techys, but not the overall populous.

That's what the poster meant. She was being pressured to like math; her inherent interest was in animals and babies.
At least in the web development world we have sourcemaps for that, html/css/js can all be inspected and debugged in their original form.

Is there anything like this for C?
The only way seems to be to either to completely outlaw these negotiations, or create a standard rate (i.e. if the project will bring 100 jobs, the cities have the option but not the obligation to offer $10m in various forms of tax breaks— or maybe capped at $10m).

The trouble is that, at a higher level, this unwillingness to play ball may just result in the companies fleeing to other countries rather than other states. This involves a higher switching cost for most companies, and would require more incentives than that for intra-nation migration, but it's still possible.

Just for comparison, there's a data center in Lenoir, NC (nearest thing to a "tech hub" would be considered Charlotte, NC about 1-to-1.5 hours away).

The report [1] claims: "In its analysis for Google, Oxford Economics shows the data center in North Carolina’s Caldwell County is responsible for 1,024 jobs. The total includes 250 jobs directly attributable to Google activity, indirect jobs in the data center’s supply chain, and induced jobs (those generated by the “multiplier effect” of spending by Google and its vendors in the community). ... Google has invested $1.2 billion in the data center in Lenoir, and its 250 direct jobs generate a combined recurring income of approximately $22.5 million, the report says." (And I assume the "recurring income" is (OLD: tax-revenue-to-government-entities) actual income for workers, about $90K average.)

( My father-in-law worked 40 years ago at this campus location (around when my wife was born) when it was part of the furniture industry. He himself fared well enough in the that industry in various companies/locations till he retired about 5 years ago, working in HR. While the furniture design-side still lives on, especially around High Point, NC, much manufacturing has moved overseas. )

EDIT: I revised, now I think the "recurring income" is for workers, not government entities ... also, added father-in-law's connection
It's not so much red versus blue as it is the New York, Chicago, and Boston metro areas subsidizing everyone else: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-02-05/think-.... California, in particular, is basically at break-even.

Moreover, by and large it's not like New Yorkers are paying to have roads built in Texas. The biggest federal expenditures are Social Security and Medicare--if a New Yorker retires to Georgia, that reflects a net transfer to Georgia (the person pays federal taxes while working in New York, then collects Social Security and Medicare after moving to Georgia). How does that fit into the maker/taker narrative?

And yes, that $10k cap is below the standard deduction for most people so it won't make sense to itemize. The problem of course is that even the new (temporarily raised) standard deduction is still less than the itemized deductions from previous years, meaning people who own a home or have dependants or give to charity got reamed in the butthole this year. The tax code is now optimized for selfish assholes, exactly as Ryan wanted.

I don't work at Google, but my SO and many friends do. I will bitch slap anyone over there complaining about being underpaid. Most people can only dream of the compensation packages they give out. Nobody at Google is "underpaid", maybe just less extremely well compensated than others.
"massive" meaning a ~300 MB compressed download, compared to a 20mb C++ with stdlib. it's even more more massive than the biggest professional lisp packages. Only Microsoft and Apple Tools can compete with that kind of massiveness, but they ship a lot of crap with it. Ada/Spark is an extremely nice and easy to use framework (if you forget the python crap that comes with it), and I would hire any Spark or ATS or F* programmer over a C++ or Java programmer in a minute. no questions asked.

This example of integer overflow is also very common amongst C/C++ programmers. Almost nobody cares about overflows or 2gb boundaries. Nobody knows how to efficiently use adc ("add with carry") or how to check for it at compile-time. spark does it for you automatically.
