In some fairness to the writer, Erlang has improved a lot since 2011.

I'm a big fan of the Erlang platform, and I even kind of begrudgingly love the language, but Erlang didn't even have first-class immutable maps until 2015, and while I actually think the semi-prolog pattern-matching syntax is elegant and beautiful once you get a handle on it, I actually really dislike the whole comma-semicolon-period thing. (Personally, nowadays when I say I'm writing "Erlang", I'm actually writing LFE).

Also, the best webserver for Erlang is Cowboy (at least in my opinion), and the initial commit for that wasn't until 2011, and it wasn't really an awesome server until around ~2014. I'm not overly familiar with the Python ecosystem, but if I were to guess, the server frameworks probably were more mature than a lot of the Erlang ones.

I don't fully agree that it's difficult to benchmark Erlang, since it has a lot of awesome diagnostic tools available out of the box and moreover it even has stuff like caching and whatnot built-in with ETS, so I think that argument comes down to "we didn't really know what we're doing", but, you know, that's a valid enough reason to not use a platform if your job is to get something done. I wouldn't recommend most people write their new apps in Idris or Coq either, for no other reason than it is difficult to fully pick up and use those platforms easily.
Cool! But I can’t see anything on the site about who is behind this. Did I just miss it or is it missing?

Especially when a service is free, I want to know a little about who I’m getting involved with.

Edit: what’s the deal with the downvotes? It’s entirely reasonable to ask who is behind a service.
The embedded-rust people have a straightforward approach to the interface abstraction situation you describe, and it seems to be going fairly well.

The embedded_hal crate defines traits for controlling things like I2C, SPI, and individual GPIO pins. Then drivers for particular devices are written against those traits.

Given the basic worldview of "we're going to rewrite everything in Rust because that's what Rust people do", I think there's a good chance of ending up in a situation where the embedded Rust ecosystem just doesn't have that problem.
Kind of a silly thing to even write about, though. The title makes it seem like the reason had something to do with the two languages, not that the developers knew one language and not the other.
three-quarters of them said going to a brick-and-mortar store was a better experience than online

Considering the current state of online shopping, I'm not surprised.

What was supposed to be a golden age of universal consumer choice has become an AI-optimized circus of hucksters and flying monkey poo.

I used to buy almost everything online, including groceries. This year, I can count on one hand the number of online purchases I've made. And with the exception of two from Amazon, they've all been from mom-and-pop brick-and-mortar stores.

[Edit: Corrected spelling of "monkey poo."]

But the said "upper-middle class and wealthy tenants" already bought the "new apartment / condo building" that were built in the first place.

It seems to me that opponents seem to think there is a phantom limitless pool of "upper-middle class" that buys up all the new high-end condo _and_ all the refurbished older units.

Logically speaking, this is not possible
I think it’s probably easier for some people.
The reality is the business needs estimates for a couple of reasons. Prioritization (which features do we work on), resource planning (if I want to get x done in the next 6 months how many devs do I need), client communication (when will very important feature X be delivered). And no amount of organizational dysfunction will change that.

One of the biggest issues is that commitment dates and probably take this long i.e. prioritization times get muddled. And the possible solutions are buffer your prioritization times to turn them into commitment times or be explicit with the business about that.

> In my experience, people are usually promoted into management when they demonstrate leadership.

Really? In my experience, people are often promoted into management when they demonstrate political ability.

Often the people who I consider the true leaders - engineers who everyone considers competent, good advisors, mentors and role models, etc - continue quietly being engineers.

Several times, I’ve seen organizations reward people who were adept at deflecting and spinning projects, goosing metrics and hiring quickly (despite a lack of fit/competence in their hires). The teams that they led were demoralized and rudderless, but you’d hardly know that from how they were rewarded and promoted.

"The inharmonicity disappears when the strings are bowed, but is more noticeable when they are plucked or struck. Because the bow's stick-slip action is periodic, it drives all of the resonances of the string at exactly harmonic ratios, even if it has to drive them slightly off their natural frequency."

I don't think "causing harm to the general public" is at all a good metric to decide "toxic". I've had to deal with more trouble caused by people who insist on using Apache than I've had caused by white supremacists, and I don't think I've ever met someone who "defends sex offenders" (as a general position).

To begin with, "causing harm" is still essentialyl subjective. An anti-vaxxer wouldn't think they're "causing harm" at all. You're still basing yourself on whether or not you agree with someone or not.
The benefits seem pretty obvious to me. I work for a hospital and a few years ago we discovered that we had a serious problem with sepsis. Every hospital struggles with sepsis, but our sepsis mortality rates were higher than our peers. As a result, we invested significant resources into improving how we handle sepsis, and our mortality rates have gone down.

None of that would have happened if ICD codes didn't exist.

Frankly, ICD codes aren't even there to improve outcomes or reduce costs. They exist primarily for billing purposes. Anything else we get out of them is a bonus.
Are you writing LFE in your professional capacity? I've always been curious if LFE was more than a sort of toy language, it's hard to tell from outside the community. I've been becoming more and more enticed to learn Elixir (and Phoenix) and the BEAM, and LFE would be a nice thing to add to the tool belt.

It’s my strong intuition that there is indeed a link between accelerated progress, including the disruption of moral barriers erected by previous generations to ensure peace, and the eruption of movements (both fascist and communist) driven by a desire to eradicate the elites believed to be responsible for the suffering caused.

As bitdivision points out, mostly you don't if you're going within the range the traffic engineers gave (less than 10 percent over the posted limit).

But what that really means is that enforcement is at the discretion of the police--which in turn means that, for example, many localities have speed traps where they all of a sudden enforce the posted limit strictly in order to increase their revenue. Or police have a quota of a certain number of tickets per month, and if it's towards the end of the month and they're having trouble meeting quota, they pick some locations and decide to strictly enforce the speed limits there until they have enough tickets for the month.

All of this just reinforces my point that the posted speed limit is not set on the basis of preventing accidents, but for other reasons.

Geron's book is more of a tutorial/cookbook coalesced with important insights into the practice of machine learning. So, I recommend reading Introduction to Statistical Learning (and Elements of Statistical Learning for theoretical background) before jumping into Geron's book. As engineers, I agree we need to have some theoretical background but at the same time, we are applying this knowledge to real world problems. Geron's book is invaluable and I hope publishes more, it is a gem.

Just trying to be helpful:

You come across as a know-it-all and patronizing in the above two comments alone. May be you can start by recognizing that developers are not your extra sets of arms to code stuff. You should limit your self to clearly communicating objectives and measuring them rather than guiding devs (micro-managing ?) at every step.
Unregulated capitalism will externalize all of its costs onto society. Too much regulation will strangle the system. Like with most things, there needs to be a balance. Similarly, capital will exploit labor without regulations or unions to prevent it from doing so.

Now yes, of course capital is going to seek the locality with the cheapest costs of production, so there is a tension between competitiveness and ensuring a minimum standard of living. Cities, states, countries, ultimately have to work together to balance these demands.

If your solution to all of this is a laissez faire system that relies on the fact that "most people care"... it is I that has to question your naïveté.

The GP was making a distinction regarding the application of the quality of unconditional to romantic love. At the minimum, if there's lust involved, it's by definition not unconditional. You snarkily leave me to parsing adjectives all the while triumphing your definition of true love over others. One can accept the notion of 'true (romantic) love' but pretending its unconditional is lying about facts.

I'd also argue that even parental love and the love for the offspring is not unconditional either: you love them because they are your parents, or your children.

We can participate in the varieties of the human experience, but let's not lose sight of the truth or muddle the meaning of words. I'm of the opinion that completely unconditional love can only occur in relation to an other from whom one stands to gain absolutely nothing.

Not true.

This is slightly off-topic and will probably get buried, but has anyone else seemingly noticed a huge spike in incel-type commentary as of late all over reddit?

I think getting rid of it won’t be that hard. For corporations, just slowly increase property taxes to what they should be over 10 years. For families, let each couple only own one grandfathered property each, and when they pass away, bring the property taxes up to where they should be. That way you don’t actually price any people out of the homes they currently own (which is the whole emotional issue that nominally created prop 13 in the first place)
Oh. My mistake. Yes that is fucked.

Edit: are you sure that’s the definition of “net 10”?

From https://www.accountingtools.com/articles/2017/5/7/accounting...

> Net terms. "Net" means that the full amount is due for payment. Thus, terms of "net 20" mean that full payment is due in 20 days. The term may be abbreviated to "n" instead of "net".

From https://due.com/blog/10-invoicing-terms-need-know/

> Net 7, 10, 30, 60, 90

> These imply that the net payment is due in either 7, 10, 30, 60, or 90 days after the invoice date. For example, if the invoice was dated June 10 and you used one of the most used payment terms, Net 30, then the payment would be expected before July 9.

Edit2: the referenced site even says the same, presuming they handle invoices end-of-month:

> Payouts are sent on a NET + 10 basis. It means that for every work completed and approved in a specific month you get paid for it on 10th of the next month. E.g. if for work completed and approved during September you'll get paid on October 10th.

So I’ll restate my original point: payment 10 days after invoice is not terrible. It’s not fantastic but it’s not terrible.

> Ok so what you want is subsidized luxury apartments.

The main thing that makes an apartment luxury is location and being new; new construction in the Bay Area (except maybe an isolated single unit or small development in a particularly blighted area) is luxury inherently. The only thing that's not is old units, and you can't ramp up the supply of old housing units easily (about the closest is you could do a minimal inhabitable renovation on existing units that are too dilapidated to be legally inhabitable, but the supply of those is limited and IIUC it's often more expensive to do that than demolishing and rebuilding front scratch.

So, yes, that's literally the most cost effective way to increase the supply of affordable housing for anybody but the rich.

I think large parts of the gig economy don't even work as proper free markets. The free market is based around people comparing all options and choosing the best one for them. That works reasonably well for deciding to rent out on AirBnB, but calculating your effective hourly wage for driving Uber, factoring in fuel, wear and tear on the vehicle, variable demand, future uncertainty etc is really hard, especially in advance. And if it's hard that means some people will get it wrong. If enough people get it wrong in both directions the market price will drop below where it should be, because demand for labor will be satisfied by those who overestimated their effective salary. At that point you don't have a functioning free market, it's just companies benefiting from peoples lack of math and modeling skills.

Millennial here. I didn’t try to kill the American Mall. This article has such a garbage headline.

I’m in my adult life now and don’t have a lot of free time. The last time I went into a mall (6 months ago?), I went to three different stores to buy a pair of training shoes. The stores were kind of empty, yet, the staff couldn’t care to help me at all.

Between the time driving to and from and walking into each of these stores, waiting for someone to help me, only to learn they don’t have my size in what I want, I wasted at least 2 hours.

I didn’t kill any mall. If these stores provided a better experience and actually tried to be competitive the slightest, it would be worth my while.

Instead, these places offer a third rate experience. You don’t even try to be competitive and then you blame your failure on a whole generation of people. If anything, you’ve put the nail in your own coffin. I’ll buy from Adidas directly or use Amazon.
The real problem, if you look at it from first principles, is the lack of US government protections/services for all workers.

If our government provided healthcare, eduction, a real pension program, non-terrible unemployment programs, etc. (as it works in most other developed countries) it would not matter if you are a gig worker or full-time employee. There would be no way to exploit you and gain a competitive advantage by hiring you as a contract worker. Companies and workers would be free to arrange employment simply around money and time. Benefits would not matter, and thus, the employment market would become more efficient.

The fact that US companies are wholly responsible for the quality of life of their employees is totally hilarious in a modern world where you don't work for the same company for your entire career. You can go from a 1st-world standard of living to a 3rd-world one simply by changing employers in the US. It's absurd.
Ask HN: Money or Quality of Life?
I am a Backend Developer (Java/Spring ecosystem) working as a Tech Lead in Bangalore, India with 14+ years of experience. I have a salary of around 6M INR before tax (~76K EURO) which is in the higher bracket considering salaries in Bangalore.

I have an offer in a startup in Berlin, Germany as a Sr. Developer. The salary is 76K EURO + 5K EURO joining bonus, before tax which is above average considering salaries in Berlin. The company is ready to take care of relocation and visa.

I have a wife and 2 yr old daughter.

As you can see, if I move to Germany I will have to take a huge cut on my monthly savings. I am not a rich person however I am debt free with strong savings - so I can take this hit for a couple of years if not more. The key motivation for moving out of India is to get PR, settle in better city/country in Europe, get international experience, a better quality of life, good education and future opportunities for my daughter, good health care.

Is it worth it? How can I make it worth? I am doing something wrong or missing some other options?
For certain security profiles in Windows 10 and related Windows Server versions, it's required that Secure Boot uses customer keys and MS keys are purged (you have to sign your installs with your own keys).

Due to that, any "enterprise level" hardware has to have a way to switch Secure Boot into "SETUP" mode, which cleans all keys and let's you put in your own master keys.

> Even with no regulation and taxes at all, nuclear is just enormously expensive compared to just continuing to use coal

Given access to enriched uranium and no regulation, a nuclear reactor is basically a high school science fair project.

In practice you're going to want a larger scale than that and a design from a team of professional engineers rather than a high school student, but it should still cost an order of magnitude less than it currently does, with the difference attributable primarily to regulatory compliance costs.

Some of those regulations are obviously important, but many of them are purposely designed to increase costs, lobbied for by competitors who want nuclear to be uneconomical.

Even a simple change like having the rules a plant is constructed under be the ones in effect when construction begins rather than when it ends would be a significant cost reduction, because as it is one of the major costs is that the rules for "new plants" often change after the relevant portion of the plant has already been constructed.

> People have to be willing to take the tax hit, one way or the other, to get nuclear.

Maybe we could just start by leveling the playing field. Renewables and fossil fuels are already directly and indirectly subsidized, either eliminate those or apply them equally to nuclear. We need to price carbon. Use the same standards for radioactive emissions for coal and nuclear. If you're going to require nuclear to pay up front for decommissioning and price in various other things then do the same for everything else etc.
That's lazy and stupid. Clever considers all factors in the math.

More generally, out-of-place artifacts:

An out-of-place artifact (OOPArt) is an artifact of historical, archaeological, or paleontological interest found in an unusual context, that challenges conventional historical chronology by being "too advanced" for the level of civilization that existed at the time, or showing "human presence" before humans were known to exist.
