> with self-driving cars, the manufacturers will become their own rideshare, and likely change the model of car ownership to one of cars on demand

You're assuming that manufacturers would do this instead of selling (or even leasing) the cars to companies like Lyft and Uber directly. I don't think this is a sound assumption. Most industries separate operations from manufacturing--shipyards and shipping companies are separate companies; aircraft manufacturing and airlines are separate companies; locomotive manufacturers and railroads are separate companies. If Lyft can barely break even long enough to survive to the invention of self-driving cars, they will be the ones providing cars on demand because that's what they already do.
Among other factors, the US motor industry engaged in a criminal conspiracy to undermine urban mass transit.

HSR is a viable alternative to flights. Similar travel times are possible.

Electrified rail is a viable alternative to suburb <-> urban center commutes. Similar/better travel times are possible.

And in both cases rail is much more pleasant. E.g., ICE trains are way nicer airplanes -- anyone who thinks otherwise has never been on an ICE train or really enjoys being punished.

I also prefer DB trains to being a passenger in a car on an interstate. Trains, when well-done, are much quieter, a much smoother ride, have much more comfortable seats, and offer the option to stand up and stretch if you feel like it.

Cycling is never a replacement for either of those two use cases.
I had this problem for the first couple years, but not anymore. What I did:

- I split the core app up into different views and services based on the functionality. For FWD:Everyone this is basically: account_management, admin_apis, content_discovery, organizations, upload_thread, read_thread, comments, and user.

I have a folder for all my views and a folder for all my services, and for each view there is one (or occasionally two) service files.

So e.g. in the views folder there is a file called account_management_views, and then in the services folder there is a file called account_management_service.

For utilities that get re-used across the entire app I have two additional things in the services folder, one is called util.py and the other is io_util.py.

Util is for things like sanitizing XSS that don't require any database access, and io_util is for things like get_user_from_username, get_user_from_email_address, etc.

Then you can import any models into io_util.py, but never into util.py. And you can import anything from util.py into io_util.py, but never the other way around. Then you can import anything from either util or io_util into any service method and shouldn't have any issues. (Although I always just import util or io_util, and then call the methods like util.sanitize_xss.)

Once I structured the services and utilities that way I never had issues again with circular imports or figuring out where to put stuff. Importing with Python is kind of difficult and janky in general, but so far this pattern seems to be working pretty well for both our startup and also for the consulting projects I've done.

Basically for logic that's mostly specific to a single view, put it in the services file for that view. Public functions in that folder can still be re-used in other services, but if they're fairly generic and they're re-used in more than one or two places then consider moving them into util or io_util so as to avoid circular import issues.
Yes. The same would apply to other areas as well. For example, a colleague of mine set up this weird elaborate web based data processing thing so that we could automate processing of files. I did the same thing he was trying to achieve with a couple of perl one-liners.

Maybe comparing business card games to AAA is a bad comparison, but comparing 'Return of the Obra Dinn' with 'LA Noire' might be more apt.
I drink 32oz of whole milk a day, bacon with grits and butter for breakfast, steak at lunch, then my dinner varies. I have normal levels of cholesterol. I believe genetics play a bigger impact.
I find big o really helpful for designing back end caching algorithms and for optimizing sql queries. On a very rare occasion for spa ui as well.
I too am curious about the workflow.

The idea that people deserve what politicians do to them because voting has occurred is a smug easy answer, but it's ultimately just baseless victim blaming.

This reminds me of early BASIC games that would run on IBM PC, compatibles, and other early computers with BASIC interpreters. I remember one such game that was almost exactly this.
That's not exactly true. I do a lot of work for agricultural companies. One such company is a huge supplier of animal feed. Their products are the by-products of sugar production. Raffinate, Betaine, Molasses, Beet Pulp Pellets, etc... These products are very shelf stable and cheap. But they are not the main crop. Sugar Beets are not grown for these by-products.

In addition, grazing animals require no such feed. Grass fed beef is a thing, and it's price is on par or even quite a bit cheaper than fake meat.

This is only for certain countries, by the way.

Have you got any experience in moving to another country? Do you have family?

So you spend years away from your country, getting promoted at work, kid at an american school (speaking English every day, with his american friends), wife going to an university or working(after enduring all the initial difficulties acclimating), for you to suddenly say: "meh, let's throw everything away and go back". Try that and let us know how that goes. Maybe if you are young and single.

Now, if you ask me, should people still try to come, given the current political climate? I am not sure. It's a wonderful country and the allure of the Bay Area is too great, if you are in IT. But the immigration system makes absolutely zero sense and is very demeaning. You need a lot of mental fortitude to endure it – even more so if you are from one of the countries with queues. Make sure you and your family can deal with the uncertainty, for years.

Cutting dietary fat and replacing it with overly processed sugar, grains and seed oils is horrible for mankind, and a blight spread across the globe from U.S. agriculture industry.

For the most part vegetable intake is fine. Though excess fruit consumption year round, and in particular juice is pretty much inline with straight sugar. Your pancreas and liver don't care that it's "natural sugar" a term which irks me to no end.

You are generous; I always thought McKinsey's stock in trade was making things more complicated and confusing than they actually are. I've never seen a counterexample, though I suppose one may exist.
Arguably, two planes crashed and we put hundreds of planes out of service worldwide just in case until we could fix it.

Also, as someone who's been in an Amtrak derailment: The severity of the derailment matters a lot. Many are small, and trains can go right around them on the adjacent track. Also note that derailments are much less common in countries with more modern, higher quality rail infrastructure.

As someone who has OCD related to this ("Citizens record the details of each day by taking written notes of encounters" could almost describe me), I'd be interested to know if he addresses the downsides that could result from this. You become more worried about capturing the moment, so you can't live _in_ the moment. It's almost self-defeating -- because you are worried that if you have this interaction, you will forget to make a record of it, you end up not having the interaction at all (you limit interactions to things that will fit in short term memory). Regardless of how highly you value reality, you end up missing out on it, losing the very thing you valued in the first place.
> was an existing bug from when I worked there that I wanted to fix but was told no

Yeesh, I'd quit too.
It's a lot safer to walk over train tracks than to walk across a road. Where walkability is a concern, light rail is an option.

I'm moving from NYC to Denver, and their new light rail system seems like such an upgrade from the car-congested streets above a sweaty slow subway.
Sorry.

Wow, this could have a big impact on ride sharing companies.
I read this article closely and it seems like it’s a volley in a long-standing debate i’m not familiar with. Can someone provide more context?
yea, thats a double edged sword. i deal with dozens of engineers at a number of FAANG level companies and frankly the incompetence and lack of knowledge blows my mind every time. Not only about pretty basic tenants of how things work, most don't even know how their own internal systems work.

MS is the exception to that rule.
I’m not arguing that one should expect the same pay everywhere. It’s simply my observation America typically pays engineers well, and much more than the two countries I cited in typical software company roles.

In the countries I have direct experience of, I would however argue the pay differential can be significant beyond just cost of living adjustments though.

There is no correlation to dietary cholesterol and blood serum cholesterol. It was a misdirection bought and paid for by the sugar industry. The same goes for saturated fats (more so the vegan religion than big sugar).

As to margerine, it is emphatically NOT better for you than real butter or lard/tallow. Seed oils are probably third in line behind sugar and grains as the biggest causes of human dysfunction.
Because they'd need to be an accredited journalist, and the presenting of any kind of proof to that end would be enough for three-letter agencies to wiggle their way into a compromise of the system - including the fact that glenn may send his old buddy frank in to collect his phone, so better give either one of them one of the tainted ones.

I misread the original proposal a bit and had assumed it'd be a mail-in-service, but with even determination the three-letter folks could probably leave spiked devices in the stores glenn would be likely to walk into. This is more reasonable but I still have reservations.
> there is only one global (uniform) syntax.

While I agree with the general sentiment that Forth does have a syntax, this statement is not true in Forth. Instead, syntax is extremely local, because words may take over the parser and compiler to implement their own syntax.

For example, "(" (which is used for comments) is typically implemented as a word that immediately executes during the compilation phase, takes over the input loop and just reads and discards characters until it has discarded the matching ")" character before returning control to the regular compiler. It has its own little parsing loop going on with its own syntax, totally overriding any global syntax for as long as it feels like.

Great marketing execution.
I personally reject "hours of enjoyment" as a metric for value and depth of a purchased game. It's good to hear that you've had positive experiences, but the dark side is that for many it drifts towards being an addictive time-suck that eats money for nothing in return.
I don’t disagree. I think people are too often diagnosed with depression when they’re actually having a normal reaction to a bad situation, but I’m very familiar with the kind of depression that is long standing and seemingly unconnected with your current situation. I was just trying to give an example of how medication could only be needed temporarily.
Plant based products have similar transport & manufacturing impact so I am not including that.

In addition, for feeding often this comes from by-products of plant production (sugar by-products, etc...). The only reason corn is so popular imo is because it is so heavily subsidized by our government making it dirt cheap. But grass fed beef is a thing and it's on par or even quite a bit cheaper price wise than fake meat.

Ask HN: [Advice] Internship Before College
So I'm 18 and leaving college in the UK in a few months (similar to US high school). Usually students go onto university now, or work, or take a gap year and travel.

I applied to some universities, but there's only one university in the UK I really want to go to (that I didn't get an offer at). I don't feel the UK has a good range of universities, like the US does, that could offer me what I want from a university. I'm thinking about reapplying (transfers not allowed) as I don't think elsewhere in the UK is worth it to me, though I have other offers. I probably should've applied abroad so I had more options in case my one choice failed.

I don't know what to do in a gap year, though. I don't really want to travel alone etc. as I doubt it'd be a worthwhile experience for me. I think I'd be appropriately qualified to do, and enjoy, an internship or similar in software engineering, but I think it's unlikely places would consider me w/o a degree.

I've done programming for quite a few years. I've freelanced on some relatively large projects, some medical software that's in use currently at a clinic, bunch of work for websites and backend stuff, sell some pre-made digital software, plugins for games, freelance system administration, and have some projects on GitHub that I've either made or contributed to, and other stuff over the years. Though I haven't done as much of this in the past ~10 months so a bit rustier, I think I'd have enough experience and ability to do something meaningful in an internship or job.

Would I be able to get some kind of software engineering thing for a few months to a year? If so, any companies/places that might offer? I'm in the UK, but I'd rather be in the US or elsewhere in Europe for the year. If it's just simply not going to be possible, any other advice, or something else I can do for the year? It'll be from July 2019 till September 2020, any period or duration in between is fine.
I'm not sure you can just replace highways with railroads. Changing modes isn't completely free--you have to have enough parking for passengers, freight handling equipment for freight, and in some cases, you might have to load entire vehicles onto railcars. This cancels out a lot of the benefits of rail.

But, you can definitely reuse or expand the same right-of-way you had for some of the trunk highways and run rail alongside it.
So I work in a cheaper location for one of these companies and while I get paid a bit less, it's so much cheaper to live here that I can pocket a lot more.
Nothing about abolishing capitalism implies that people will not be free. Arguably they could be more free. Not every socialist state needs to (or should) emulate the USSR.

You should try reading The Conquest of Bread.
I sure don't see it that way. Let me know when we invent something that can affordably and reliably take me to the base of mountains for hikes (real hikes, not shitty crowded garbage like Lake 22 or Mount Tam).
Yeah, I don't know. I thought about going from Barcelona to Malaga by train because I love trains, but it was 10x more expensive than one of these low-cost flights.
A valid perspective, but it isn't completely obvious that thinking culturally is outdated. America is losing its ability to police the world [0]. Even if that is simply the military looking for more funding, given China's industrial capability it is difficult to see the US maintaining its hegemony for the next generation.

These 'old fashioned' ideas were formed in a world where equals competed from resources, and the 'modern' ideas are being formed in a world where there is only one superpower. The situation could easily change.

Also:

I don't really feel like working on solo stuff / remote for that year, I kinda want to work in a team even if not necessarily actively working with people on a specific project, at least collaborating more or surrounded by other programmers. And I want to work on something meaningful, ideally, if I'm going to be spending a year of my life on this. So either a good experience or a good project to work on, ideally.
