I don't think it's deliberately biased, just a guy who's not very invested into the VSCode/Typescript ecosystem who's going back to his known tools.

FYI TSLint still has a large amount of config required to get it working, and the vscode integration still has a "wont-fix, upstream" bug where it won't lint files unless they are open in the editor. So you need to manually run tslint from the commandline. See: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-typescript-tslint-plugin...

I'm guessing that webstorm does this this more auto-magically for the user.
Sorry to hear that. I also wonder how much this depends on local, contingent events, and how much can be attributed to internet and social media, where the outrage is the driver of clicks and attention, and uninformed conversations thrive.

Populists are on the rise everywhere. On the side, the bursts of social justice outrage in the US might be just a different, leftwing expression of the same mechanisms that produced Trump on the right. We urgently need cultural tools to deal with the consequences of social media.
Popular usage seems to have shifted from "someone who posts solely to get a rise out of people" to "a jerk online." It's too bad because there are plenty of terms for the latter already.
Can HN be toxic? Absolutely.

Was it toxic in the situation the author was describing? I think reasonable people can have a discussion about this, but for arguments sake let’s say yes.

Is HN generally a positive non toxic environment? Yep! Hugely so.

HN is a remarkably diverse community. Perhaps not always from a gender perspective, but definitely in terms of background and means. I can personally attest to this as I run a mentoring program, and I tend to mostly get sign ups from HN, and they have been from all over the world.

I get that we as a community aren’t always perfect. Sometimes that’s rooted in our own biases and backgrounds. However, those comments lead to discussion, which may shape or alter the perspective of someone who had a different set of experiences, thus leading to a better future. Growth comes from points of discomfort, not from sitting on the side lines.

If I could ask one thing to every HN lurker and commenter is to continue to be open minded. Ask questions. Be thoughtful. Be respectful. Continually seek to grow.

We’re always going to be imperfect as a community, and that’s by design. All we can hope to do is be better today than we were yesterday. And better tomorrow than we were today.

Well, did they? To a greater extent than today?
Then people are a bunch of bigotted asses. Just because it is their twisted norm in no way makes it acceptable. Less so in fact as it isn't just some rando who thinks it but a social bloc promoting it.

I wonder if cockcroach protein powder would bypass brain wasting disease and other nasties.
I agree. I would go further by forcing all new cars to be plug-in hybrids as soon as it is practically doable. Maybe someone with ICE and battery expertise can chip in and clarify whether there are any pitfalls in this approach.

I simply don't understand why this is not enforced very soon. Many companies are producing inexpensive hybrids, so it sounds quite doable. And most people, at least in Europe, make really short trips on average.

Even if the electricity used to charge your car was produced by a coal plant, pollution could be controlled by centralized filters, etc. Clearly much better than having machines driving around cities and spreading toxic fumes and particles everywhere.
I'm so sick of this MSM/social media fueled gender shit flinging. She herself never claimed she did all the work, the MSM did.

This was slightly distracting :)
He is entirely right, and since 2013 is has become even more like he described. It now already applies from Amsterdam to Paris... It's a 1 hour flight, for 99 euros return on Air France / KLM and far less than that if you take easyJet or another low cost option (with the downside that you're going to an airport further from the city). The train takes 3 to 4 hours and costs more.

Only on really short trips like Amsterdam - Brussels the train is the better option. And on those the normal train is only 15 minutes out of a total 2.5 hours slower than the expensive high speed train, while the high speed is more than twice as expensive.

Hamburg -> Munich. next thursday morning, >600km

ICE, duration 5:40. Cost around 100€ With Bahncard 50: 76 €

Same with slow train: duration 11:00, cheapest ticket 29€

Flight around 200 Euros, Lufthansa 300+€, Flighttime 1:15, Travel time: around 3.5 hours.

Hamburg -> Frankfurt. 400km

IC, duration 3:30, Cost starting at around 75€, with Bahncard 50: 53€

Business Trips: company pays. Many business trips in one year: get a Bahncard 100. Company pays. Costs 4400€. Unlimited travel with full flexibility within Germany. For example one trip Hamburg<->Frankfurt per week and the Bahncard 100 is easily more convenient.

Yeah, I don't understand the hype around IPFS when it performs so badly. After reporting the issue and having a conversation with the devs I had an impression that they are just dilettantes.
Every place is a toxic place.

More specifically, every place has toxic people.

It is your responsibility as a citizen of that community to speak up (either in the form of a flag or hiding that person) if you see content that is objectionable, off-topic, or offensive.

We will never rid the world of bad people. But we can choose to prevent their voices from echoing any louder.
See also the corruption of the word terrorist. Not all bad people are terrorists, some are simply criminals. Similarly not all bad people are trolls, some are simply misogynists. The linguistic difference in each pairing is not measure of badness but motive.
24 floors (like Grenfell) will not happen again in London - at least in our lifetimes, foam or no foam, bad redesign or no redesign or one staircase or two. High residential is gone. On the other hand 8 to 12 floors is pretty dense and requires less surrounding space and infrastructure so works out quite well.

What's needed in London is a change in the development law that mandates 3 good sized bedrooms, two baths and one large living / cooking area. This would provide liveable accommodation for families and would chop out the drivers for a house at any cost.

Writing the Twentieth Century
Usually it’s 1% to 3% on each side of the sale. I sure as hell didn’t like paying $45000 to the agents but we would have listed (and sold) the house for $50000 less if not for our agent’s prodding. So in the end we cleared an additional $5000 by not getting nervous and accepting her advice.

We thought the market was cooling down too much to support a price on the high end of the range. We were wrong. It sold in one week.
As a consumer of cannabis for several decades prior to legalization, it has indeed gone very well. I am in Ontario and my first legal online order took 3 weeks, but delivery is now typically 2-3 days.

Brick and mortar just recently launched in this province, it was rushed and isnt in good shape. Other provinces are faring better in this regard.

The product selection is large, but in stock inventory of lower-priced products especially tends to be lacking. Some clearly over-priced products are trying to be the "Apple of weed" and failing, the market should sort that out.

An unexpected challenge of legalization is that new users can get overwhelmed by choice. Our government has unfortunately repeated the old indica=sleepy, sativa=energetic nonsense in the official literature despite advances in the science showing that while these distinctions are great to seperate plant types they distinguish between effects poorly.

I have been working on a project [1] that attempts to index the scientific literature and provide a better, evidence-based path towards cultivar selections. Every endocannabinoid system is different so this will never be totally correct, but it can at least trim down the options for new users.

> The influencer reportedly made $500,000 from her account before it was deleted, money she said “does not last”.

Hmm. According to this wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United...) the 2017 median income in the US was $61,372. So $500,000 would be 8.14 years worth of income at the 2017 median income level. She should have been able to be quite comfortable with $500,000 for a few years at least.

Ok, now we see how she really blew $500,000 and the how the "money ... 'does not last'".

>See "The Man Behind Windows PowerShell"

Everything I'm finding about Jeffrey Snover indicates that he did, in fact, by himself, invent PowerShell. The idea and original implementation was developed by him, and then he picked a small team (Bruce Payette and James Truher) to bring it to maturity. So I don't see how that's a fair comparison.
Compiling Dynamic Languages (2013) [pdf]
Given my limited memory abilities, I have doubts that I'll ever have a master level or even very strong grasp of more than 2-3 languages at any point in time. C, C++, python, Clojure, and Java are usually in that circular queue (both when I was in school and now in industry), but I find myself humbled every time I come back to one after 6+ months. I imagine that if I were to truly sink 10 years into a single environment, especially a nearly stagnant one like C, I'd carve out some deep pathways in my brain.
Avoid spreading FUD please. No-one has claimed that Assange provided Manning with any assistance compromising any computer systems. The only revelation from the leaked indictment is that Manning apparently sent him a password hash once and Assange said, "can't break it."

The Manning-Lamo chat logs leaked to Wired also clearly show that Manning sought out Assange. If you have any evidence to the contrary on these two points, please post as your claims are running against what is publicly known.

It's common for recognition to come from some combination of hard work, intelligence, and luck. When you see people getting all bent out of shape over the luck involved in this case and not in others, you have to wonder why.

Why are the concerns transparent misogyny? Are people not allowed to voice concern as soon as the subject matter involves a woman? You can't just label all of the objections as misogyny and sweep them under the rug. I guess you can, but that's very much the mentality that's causing the toxic environment we find ourselves in.
2018 was the first year that female Marines were allowed to attend the previously male-only entry-level course at the Marine Combat Training Battalion at Camp Pendleton, California.

2018 was also the year that Tokyo Medical School admitted changing exam results to exclude women.

2019 is the first year that Augusta National Golf Club held a Women's Amateur event. It wasn't that long ago that the club chairman said that the club would not be pressured into inviting women members “at the point of a bayonet.”

All of these examples are less than a year old. Do you really think that discrimination against women is all past tense? The combat role and golf club examples were all public policies of discrimination. As that becomes less common, we learn more about the private policies of discrimination like the Tokyo medical school example. Publicly changing policies doesn't make discrimination go away, it's just the first step in a years long process of socially accepting and integrating people whose denied membership was once accepted by members as good policy.
>The bag charges also meet 60% of the cost of running the scheme

Recycling metals is substantially profitable, because scrap metal is actually worth something. Making new metal from old metal requires far less energy than making new metals from raw ore, even factoring in the costs of transportation and processing.

Does collecting and composting food waste actually result in a net reduction of our use of finite resources, or is it just a sop to make us feel better about throwing away food? Is this really recycling, or is it a waste of resources at one step removed?
>Is it an issue that training will be a different sorts of planes than graduates will fly or are the characteristics close enough?

Flight training goes through various phases. Just like traditional education, you have primary, elementary, and secondary. Primary flight training consists of the fundamental “stick and rudder” skills which all pilots from a Cessna to a 747 must posess. In fact, the US Air Force academy starts all fighter pilot candidates out flying gliders for this very reason. Electric flight will absolutely revolutionize this portion of training because the primary limiting factor in one’s ability to perfect those skills is cost. And the overwhelming majority of cost in a single engine aircraft is the engine itself; gas, oil, maintenance, overhauls. All of these things will be obliviated, freeing pilot’s resources to obtain multiple times the amount of hours as is currently the case.

Not only will this be good for pilots, but the industry and public safety as a whole will be greatly enriched by the increase in basic flight skills that have started to slip over the years due to the exorbitant cost of primary training.
Well, yes, hence the development of patents.

"The English patent system evolved from its early medieval origins into the first modern patent system that recognised intellectual property in order to stimulate invention; this was the crucial legal foundation upon which the Industrial Revolution could emerge and flourish." ([1]Wikipedia)

Without patents what you do is create trade secrets, patents publish the concepts that are protected, they are fully disclosed (or the patent is junk) and after 25 years anyone can use them. The 25 years is the time that you have to get payback on your invention - forcing investment in development now before your monopoly expires.

> That will depend on what the GP has done with SQL.

I am sure they built their UI with SQL - as opposed for example simply doing some queries, or some joined procedures at best.

> Also, JQuery implies in Javascript.

With uttermost likelyhood, they did not only dynamic changes of some html-documents there, but also their backend and crypthography.

Enough with the snark... ("Language" is such a fuzzy term anyways. You could go as far as to label any interaction with a computer as one - there will always be a protocol according to which the interaction happens.)

> There should be plenty of people capable of taking the codebase, but it's not a trivial single language case. The upside is that good developers will be overrepresented when compared to the population that knows one of Python or Javascript.

I still stand by my point. As far as the cost of polyglotism is concerned, that is a one-general-purpose-language-codebase and the rest being DSLs (apparently R too). There are other codebases where there are really 2+ languages. I.e. some functional lang on top, some performance critical code hand-written in C, some logical programming language to do some constraint programming. Each of those 3 takes quite a lot experience.
Could somebody please check how it converts the following program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
if (((unsigned char) 255) + ((unsigned char) 255) == 510) {
puts("yes");
} else {
puts("no");
}
}

(The code outputs "yes", and it does not rely on undefined behavior.)

In other words, I doubt that proper “conversion”, with all the C semantics, is feasible.
Where is your proof that it’s a lie?
Assuming you're using your "straw" to transport liquid, the liquid will be in contact with some part of the surface of the Möbius strip. But you can get from any part of the surface to any other part of the surface by "walking around" without crossing an edge, so there is no sense in which the liquid can be contained. There being only one side, I'd say no.

He takes quite a few political stances...
I'd say more than 300mi. Probably 500-600mi. Eg: Paris-> Montepellier, 3h30 by train. 1h20 by plane. By the time you add an hour for security/checkin at the airport, and the additional hassle of getting to/from the airport vs city centre rail terminals, it's competitive. I think only when you get over 4h then air starts to benefit.

Automated Tests – BDD for Your Express Node JavaScript Back End
I've got a degree in poli sci. Sovereignty was never defined as your ability to force others to do things. That was a violation of their sovereignty and meant that the polity being forced to do something or who could not enforce their borders no longer had sovereignty. No where other than this conversation have I ever seen someone claim that going to someone else's land and taking doing what I want is sovereignty.

At this point we are just arguing over definitions and not the actual topic that started so I am bowing out before this becomes a flame war
