Boston has a long-time independent hyperlocal reporter, Adam Gaffin ("https://universalhub.com/"), who actually sits through not only city council meetings, but even liquor licensing board hearings and zoning hearings.

Gaffin was an early "tech" industry reporter, IIRC, and involved pretty early in the Internet. He invested many years in building a hyperlocal news following, and apparently now makes a modest living off of ads and donations.

Gaffin's is impressive for a one-person operation, but of course his coverage isn't complete, and a major city really needs at least tens of sharp journalists covering the basics. Unfortunately, although the two main local papers (Boston Globe, Boston Herald) are soldiering on thus far, they're in financial trouble, and have been sold and under new management since their heydays.
This just sounds not only like you gave up trying to influence the world around you for the better a long time ago, but for some perverse reason want everyone else to give up too.

Worst kind of defeatism.
True, I can see how in this case, at that time, it could be effective. But ironically, there seems to be a similar dogma surrounding FP these days - speaking even as a fan of the paradigm, with a perspective tempered by experience. I can’t help but think that polarized viewpoints like this contribute to replacing the subject of the idealization rather than the underlying problem of idealizing itself, if only indirectly due to the combination of the arguments themselves and the sense of authority behind them, rather than the merit of the arguments alone.
I'm 28. Old enough to have felt the same way as the poster I responded to, but also old enough to know that everything I think is probably bullshit.
I visited Sark some years ago, while the Barclay brothers were still investing in the island. There was indeed incredible tension between the pro and anti-brother Islanders, as per the article. There was also tension between those who thought that Sark's horses should have Sunday off vs. continue to pull carts for the tourist incomers, or whether their day off should be Monday.

Definitely a different world.
I think you are arguing, to try an analogy, that prohibiting any kind of face recognition would be as worthwhile as prohibiting bomb building, while being about equally difficult. I'm rejecting that premise.

And of course, storage and utilization of personal data is a lot easier to regulate in a way that can be enforced. That's the main premise of the GDPR legislation, by the way. Of course, criminal and negligent businesses can totally abuse your personal data, often without consequences. But they can't do so legitimately and they don't have access to the legal and open economy.

Even Facebook and Google are feeling the pain already. They do violate some laws some of the time and they have a hard time hiding that, because hiding it requires criminal intent itself, and it's really hard for hundreds of people to keep such secrets, regardless how profitable.
Oddly enough, there is a train on that route.
Not exactly what you asked for, but C11 added this bit that was not there in C99:

An iteration statement whose controlling expression is not a constant expression, that performs no input/output operations, does not access volatile objects, and performs no synchronization or atomic operations in its body, controlling expression, or (in the case of a for statement) its expression, may be assumed by the implementation to terminate.

And C++11 added this bit that wasn't there in C++03:

A loop that, outside of the for-init-statement in the case of a for statement,
- makes no calls to library I/O functions, and
- does not access or modify volatile objects, and
- performs no synchronization operations (1.10) or atomic operations (Clause 29) may be assumed by the implementation to terminate.

[Note: This is intended to allow compiler transformations, such as removal of empty loops, even when termination cannot be proven. -- end note]

If the license plate is too dirty to read, give them a ticket for that instead.

Penalty should be greater than for the parking infraction anyway, otherwise people would dirty their plates deliberately.
It's not the big hammer that can't be argued with. There's a path forward there: bring in security experts to weigh in on this. This hasn't happened. It could, and when it does there may be progress.

Rust doesn't quite have a team for this yet (there's a security WG slowly spinning up though) which probably explains why it's kinda stalled.

Ultimately there's no obligation here for the team to do the legwork for this PR anyway. It's blocked on something, and while that's resolvable you can't blame the team for not pushing on it.

(I did just ping someone knowledgeable in security matters about this, let's see what they say)

I'm curious.

How do you for example parse command line arguments in your shell scripts?

Do you regard sed, grep and awk as dependencies when bash scripting?

With regards Python. The subprocess, os, sys etc modules are standard library modules. There is no dependency overhead in using them. Most smaller Python scripts manage very nicely with the standard library.

In Eastern Europe a 2018 car that costs around 30k euroes which is a Passat/Superb goes for about 400$ a month. If you're only pulling in 100k, that won't hit you hard at all.

1-1,5k for high end apartment's rent (which is waaaay too much anyway), 400 for the car and 1k for other necessities.

If taxes were 33%, you'd be left with 66k.

66k - 12x(1.5k+400+1k+100) = 30k. That's still a lot more money left than if the person was in NYC without a lease/finance and with rent that's twice as much.
As an accounting student, the idea that Amazon is using capital leases as way of manipulating their financials is hilarious. That's the exact opposite of what everyone else does. Most companies try to hide debt they incur to buy infrastructure by claiming that they're actually renting it. This is why there are complicated rules about what kind leasing agreements count as debt and which count as expenses.

The claim repeatedly and misleadingly made in the article that Amazon doesn't post a profit is easily debunked by the fact that they're a publicly traded company that legally has to have it profits made publicly available. They make a profit. They have for a long time. It goes up and it goes down as they expand and reinvest, but they're definitely not intentionally taking a loss.

And they have to have their accounting methods and control systems used to be audited by an independent third party annually to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. As far as I'm aware, they've never had an adverse opinion issued against them. The whole point of making public companies undergo an audit every single year is to make sure they're doing any shenanigans that make their annual statements in some way not comparable to the financial statements of other companies in that industry.

It's incredibly annoying to see an article like this get shared because it's incredibly obvious the author doesn't know what the heck he's talking about, but just enough to fool readers into thinking he does.

I generally don’t charge to 90% when I supercharge, are you saying I’m doing it wrong? Seriously, the point of supercharging is to do the minimum, not 90%.
Thank you for keeping this place civil - I know it musn't be fun.
Its funny you should use that example. I recently bought a rice cooker, and then bought another a few weeks later.

I've done similar things a lot, in this case it was because the first cooker had too large a minimum cooking amount. I'm currently looking at buying my mother google WiFi - which I bought a few weeks ago. And a few months back I rebought a tool I had just purchased because I lost it.

I currently work for a (responsible) own site adtech (personalization) company. Its surprising what behaviours our clients find profitable for their business.
I think it's possible to be using a genre voice unconsciously, or doing it consciously but for your own purpose. Just because the genre is X, doesn't mean we can assume the purpose.

I think you missed the point about "purpose over profit", it really gave this guy a feeling of that. And him telling that personal story is valid. It's interesting to think about why you seem to have deliberately side-stepped the point of the story.

Actually, analyzing and thinking about the way you wrote this comment, it seems you're just bitter that someone found something they really liked, that gave them a sense of purpose, and now you're trying to find some way to diminish that to yourself, to make yourself feel better, without actually taking the responsibility to do something to make your life better. Which tells us that you wished you had that purpose, but you feel you don't.

Some free advice: go about making that purpose for yourself, rather than making yourself feel better by trying to diminish the achievements of others that trigger you right in the feels. Another way to say it is, instead of making it all about this guy, when you get triggered, stop and think about "why do I feel that way?" and go deep into that. It's not about other people. What you feel is about you. Learn from that. Don't project, don't take it out, don't blame others, just learn from that uncomfortable emotion you're writing this thing to avoid.

Don't get me wrong, this is more than advice. I've seen that attitude cause a lot of unnecessary hurt and conflict in the world and in relationships, and I want people to stop it.

It's a pattern I've see a lot. Definitely has it's own genre voice as well.
I won't, because I've been building applications for over 30 years; I know what's best, as I've had ample time to find out what works and what is sheer idiocy.

The various software I've written is small, fast, light, with minimal dependencies and it's easy to install because I deliver it as OS packages for the operating systems I support; my users tell me they are happy. The memory requirements are miniscule and the software lightning fast. Its size is measured in kilobytes, not megabytes or gigabytes, which means I must be doing something right. The manual pages often exceed the software in size and are brimming with examples. I pay extra attention to being backwards compatible when I implement changes and enhancements. Regressions are non-existent.

So I know I'm right and that using a bloated "framework" would have been one of the stupidest things I could have ever done.

As for re-inventing wheels, I use what comes with the OS and leverage what's already there; I've purposely not implemented any algorithm re-implementations of my own, although I easily could have. I'm neither dumb nor stupid to go re-inventing wheels, in fact that's one of the reasons why I hate webshits' frameworks. They don't call them webshit for no reason.
Not sure what you mean here but OS projects that come to mind that we haven't treated as a black-box at some point are kubernetes, docker, node, chromium, rabbitmq, postgres and every JavaScript module we use.
Two local services that come to mind that we have used and that didn't work like the AWS equivalent is dynalite and fake-s3.
Buffet is famous for his 'common sense' analysis, but I wonder how many young people he has in his day to day social routine. To only realize only now that newspapers are toast suggests that he's a bit slow on the uptake these days.

I assume it's just harder to write down license plate "numbers" in the US since they are both less strictly formatted and less unique than any national plates in Europe (that I am aware of).

From a short search, it seems that license plate numbers aren't even unique across state borders in the US, for example.
I think the point is that you don't need to understand the gory details of how e.g. your hashtable works - for most coders, it's sufficient to know that it exists in the standard library; it's O(n) on space; it's amortized O(1) on retrievals and updates, but can be O(n) on some inputs; and that there is a class of security issues related to using untrusted data as keys. They don't really need to know why all these things are true, or know how to implement it from scratch.
> If you don't like programming and if you don't like learning, then are you really gonna like Google?

There are also many people who are great at programming, wh love it, who are terrible at interviewing. After all, these are two related, but ultimately different skills. You talked about it yourself in your last paragraph, ending with:

> But there's something wrong about having to play a game to get the job.

Sounds like the fault is on the employer that makes you play the game, not on "people want to be employed without becoming employable".

My immediate alternative would be to drop a grape behind a tire.

Though the fact that it's edible is problematic. The rats (with and without wings) would enjoy my scheme.

Still, any cheap inedible alternative would work. As long as, when you squish it, it stays squished.

But that leads me to think: why not build it into the parking spaces? Glue something down that takes just over 2 hours to fully reinflate. Would need to be wide enough to ensure it gets run over. Probably want to be clever and make the reinflation not appear to be linear - once it gets to a certain point, it would stand itself up or something. Would be fun to design.

There is no shortage of ideas how to distribute profits, and no shortage of arguments which one is "fair" or which one is the best for whatever reason.

This particular scheme means you are paying janitors as much as people who went to school for a decade or more. Some people would not find that equitable and fair. Few academics would find that offer competitive.

And depriving the executives of large salaries also means you are increasing the incentive for corruption. If somebody has the power to squander a billion Dollar, you better pay her more than 100k.

And you forgot to include capital gains, or you included it with expenses. Whoever owns the equity will want some return, otherwise they will invest elsewhere (or not at all).

As someone that has had the pleasure of living in Switzerland, I would rather say that Le Bolze would be sixth language.

The core of the problem is that the masses do not have shared values anymore. There are no moral ideals to aim towards.

For people who wonder 'but how do these organizations get all that £€¥$ to fund their terrorism acts?

Drug trafficking, robberies, kidnapping. Counterfeit products and human trafficking are also two more standard 'revenue streams'. In the case of ISIS apparently it was stealing and selling Oil. Depending on the country you live in, bank robberies either contribute to a gangs' income, or if funds local or international terrorism. This is the main reason police does its best to arrest them. The loss of a bank's £€¥$ is bad, threatening some bank employees and customers is bad, funding the next 'Sri Lanka' is far worse (I am NOT pointing fingers or taking sides - just using this example as it was the most recent).
Considering PPP, 200k USD is equivalent to about 5 million INR. Software engineers in India with 10+ years of experience and working in companies like Amazon , Microsoft etc make that amount quite easily. Of course, the quality of living is a different issue altogether :-)
The whole point of my initial reply was to challenge an oft repeated belief that using FP results in more reliable systems. This belief doesn't really have solid proof behind it.

If you're not providing that proof because it's beneath you, or for some other reasons you've really just wasted everyone's time here by repeating the same appeal to feelings and personal experience for the Nth time.

I addressed the core of your arguments against C++. The rest has been discussed before by myself and others. It's nothing new on HN.

Whenever I go to the dealership to get an original part (typically if there's several slightly different variants available and I don't know which I need), they just input my license plate number into their system, then click through a menu to find the part (like chassis->steering->link arm->left side). Takes about 30 seconds, they show me a picture to confirm it's right, then they go grab my part from the warehouse. (This is a European manufacturer.)

I am a Swiss, living 20km from Fribourg and having a lot of contact with people from Fribourg. I thought the same as the parent. It seems also that most words are actually spoken in German and only a few nouns are French.

When the system's metric is proficiency at timed whiteboard programming questions, then people in that system will optimize for that metric (i.e. don't hate the player, hate the game).
What about the part where they imply giving people from "marginalized groups" preferential treatment?
I frankly still don't understand what's the expectation of such whiteboard exercises. It's just one method, and companies have to understand that one day maybe it will be superseded, hopefully soon. This "we have always done it that way" is ridiculous. If you want to know how good a candidate is, you can easily do it with pertinent questions and maybe a couple of pair programming exercises to see how the person codes, how he/she structures the code in a comfortable situation, not under stress and in an unrealistic scenario -> coding on a whiteboard, as if we had no electricity. Whiteboards should be a tool, not the goal of an interview.
I keep posting them here.

How I got to learn about them?

Having a solid Informatics Engineering degree, with focus on systems programming, graphics and compilers, and a very nice university library.

That was it, we had to hunt for books, compuserve, gopher and BBS were still a thing.

Nowadays learning about the history of PL is a google/bing/... search away, a couple of seconds with access to plenty of scanned papers and conference proceddings since the early 60's, so one has to be quite lazy not to research them.

More than you'd think. I did some analysis (in 2008 mind you, long time ago, PHP4/PHP5). I think I found that half the packages on sourceforge (sourceforge!) had a use of a dynamic construct.
