For me at least, the appeal is that the Switch is capable of being handheld on things like the commute and flights. PC gaming is not as convenient or portable, and mobile gaming is not nearly as pleasant of an experience.

You don't have to be online to run a Switch. And the Switch uses solid state memory so loading times are pretty good.
Why Google translate fails to deliver
the writer's mind is a palette and on it are his experiences, his instincts, his biases. to be fully aware of the meaning "X" is to be fully aware of not only his own meta-cognition, but the context of the world that he lives in that coloured his person, that resulted in him deciding to write something in order to bring forth the message "X".
> Once Java gets fibers, its concurrency offerings will be a strict superset of golang's. golang doesn't even offer event based async concurrency.

Kotlin does that today and I like Kotlin, however the fact is that the class-everywhere Java approach just doesn't sync with me. Go's and Rust approach to OO with value-based types (structs) suits me much better.

> golang doesn't even have concurrent data structures

Not strictly true. It does have sync.Map There's also 3rd party packages offering this.

Not quite. The humanities are fundamentally about persuasion, not about objectivity. There is no objectivity in the arts, creators are not the last word on their work [1], and any good observation is considered a success if it's persuasive to at least some people some of the time.

A lot of academic-level criticism is really an advanced game of "Hunt the hidden metaphor." People can take it or leave it, but as a pastime it's unlikely to go away. No one competent [2] seriously expects any one interpretation to be definitive. It's all just opinion, and sometimes it's interesting and insightful opinion - and sometimes it isn't.

[1] A lot of people find this strange, but why should it be? Creators are no more aware of their own internal motivations than anyone else is.

[2] This may not include high school teachers attempting the same thing, because they're likely to be teaching by rote from standard interpretations and marking them right/wrong rather than trying to elicit interesting personal insights.
This is a classic example of where you have to let people experiment with their own bodies. The risk tolerance lots of people have is way higher than what society is allowed to mandate as the best.

Of course paternalistic people will use the instruments of the state to restrict what we can do for ourselves. We can't just build and share "an unapproved device for managing your insulin" because the FDA will get in the way. But life would be so much better if we had the freedom to do that.

Unfortunately, the real problem is that there are a bunch of idiots who don't know how to take risks. They expect things to always work and they team up with the people who want to protect the idiots and oppress those of us who are willing to take a little risk for some reward.

I was going to ask how they would check if the answer is correct, because they too would need "35 years" to find it...

... but then I realized that N is a product of two primes, which Rivest knows, so he can take a shortcut and compute the answer faster. That is, the answer is known.

But this makes you wonder if factoring that N would've been a faster route to solving this puzzle. What do you guys think?

Thank you. I think a lot of us in tech (including myself) have had only shallow/imperfect exposure to the humanities in school, and then later seen many noisy/poor/confusing examples from the field.

However, I've known some people well-educated in the humanities, and (for example) I've often seen them to have on-point insight into real-world situations, while most of us with engineering/science-heavy educations are fumbling around with our overconfident opinions based on little/mistaken information.

Which is not to say that there might not be a lot of noise in any field, but it would be foolish to naively dismiss someone who's invested many years in intense reading and analysis in any of those fields. Surely that person knows things and has gotten good at some kinds of thinking that we haven't even heard of.

Consider the example of someone who took and Web/app framework class, but has no experience in CS basics, algorithm design, systems architecture, engineering process and collaboration, product lifecycles and maintainability, etc. They can make a site/app, and don't see what all the fuss and perceived posturing in the field is about.

I'm no expert on this, but could this be the reason of the confusion in the picture titled "Section of the Quai de Gare usine: 1892", where the author mentions "A = drying channels (not sure what that means- they look like sewers in cross-section. May just mean 'drainage')"?

There are a huge number of comments on TDD in the HN archives if you search for it.

My own comments include https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15004258 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18670445#18671642 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19222743 .

I do not find TDD useful, for reasons I explained in the above links.

I think one of the reasons TDD is effective is that it a way that developers are able to negotiate with management about getting the needed time to do proper development. "Proper development" includes testing - before, during, and after - but there's a lot of push to reduce development costs, and developers usually have worse negotiation skills and experience than managers.
Many front-end developers prefer to complete work quickly. Bootstrap makes the process much faster and you don't want to read old CSS codes.

What does "not tolerating" mean? Excluding him from everything?

If that's the approach, what stops you from trying to get someone you don't like excluded by searching through everything they have ever said or done, surfacing one example that you call "objectionable", and using that to shame them?
My employer explicitly doesn't care where I work from or when or how.

So some days I'm focused at home or at my desk, some days it's (endless) meetings and usually I go in, some days (especially when in a design phase) I walk, think, and work in various parks and cafes... and some days I go to the office and sit in the common areas with a big PLEASE DISTURB sign around my neck. I'd rather not have to give up any of these.

Prop 13 was a ballot measure, and requires another ballot measure to repeal. Government can't help with that.

But it's an uphill battle, vs groups like California Chamber of Commerce and Howard Jarvis. And they've convinced businesses that higher consumer taxes will hurt their profits, which could be true. So you have strong lobbying against repeal.
Out of curiosity, I took the test for the first poem and got all questions correct. I've always been relatively good at standardised tests, and agree they don't always measure something meaningful.

That‘s not true. Truckers have radios (at least in Europe) and they they are interacting with other truckers in radius of ~10 miles. I had radio in my car and and it was even entertaining sometimes. I could ask advice, ask for fuel when I was empty, ask for police checkpoints. On private channel one can have virtually private conversation.

I highly doubt this. I had access to basically all past papers (questions and answers) for my GCSE and A levels. The exam board cannot assume students don't have this. (That said, it was not hard to spot patterns in the questions they asked over time. English was generally reasonably different, but the electronics papers would just copy and paste questions from one year to the next and change some of the numbers).
It was too difficult, since it was easy for locals that knew the land to just run away and take refuge with other tribes. In Florida, some black slaves notoriously ran away and joined the Seminoles, a tribe that led a pretty notable resistance for sovereignty. This is a simplification, another big factor would have been the fact that many tribes had already established themselves as political entities, expect the five civilized tribes, via trade and intermixing. I would hazard that many white people from the south and southeast would have some native ancestry. Finally, when all blacks we're defacto slaves and free blacks were uncommon, it was easier to identify a run-away. In fact several Southeastern tribes owned slaves themselves and the Cherokee were actually split in their support for the Union vs the Confederacy.

I have no problem with you avoiding this. I have no problem with you requiring a certification program to get a little marker that says FDA approved. Then you can go shop those. I can take the risks I want to take.

That was shocking at the time the book was written. The murderer was supposed to be an Other, not someone you can relate to. The book was shocking because it made the reader feel the murderer's dilemmas. See his rationales, such as they were.

I think that the key competitive advantage is exactly how cheap it is to acquire new users. Anyone that is off the main grid can still get decent internet without signing up to a long term landline contract. This removes one of the big barriers to entry and changes the industry as a whole.
It's also strange that the central bank decided to inject the money into the stockmarket in which only top 10% participate. The goal was to reduce the yield of the stocks to encourage investment in smaller companies but it backfired because owners of stock care more about the resulting appreciation than in the loss of dividends as a percentage of share price. Basically capital gains taxes are too low and dividend taxes are too high.

and because we have a number of tiny single cpu vm's out there (which would also benefit from a performant language) I gave it a shot there:

so rust appears broken on centos 7.5 (no, I'm not going to edit the binary). But that is an insta-deal breaker for us.
I think it's in large part due to documentation and fonts. For example in my Fedora, I only have part of texlive installed. My /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist is 1.3G, of which 428M are inside the doc subdirectory and 639M are in the fonts subdirectory.

Then there are many packages that contain pictures or logos. As a single random example, texmf-dist/tex/latex/fithesis is 2.4M, of which 2.1M are in fithesis/logo.
That's exactly why any package versioning that hardcodes URLs to packages is broken by design. URL is where. A package is a what.

And if such a library could be constructed, what would the loss of flexibility cost?

The saddest part about personal websites now is that if someone googles your name, your presence on social media sites, an about page of a project or company you worked for, or any news outlet article where your name is mentioned will rank first and ahead of any personal website.

I understand if one's full name combination is too common to show every personal website, but I feel like if a unique name is googled, or there's one or two decidedly well known person(s) of that name, and that person has authored a personal site, search engines should prioritize that on the first page, if not the very first result(s).

Try googling for John Carmack, Barack Obama, or (op) Mark Christian. What's the SEO required to get your personal page to be the first result on a search engine?

Good piece.

Homebrew is certainly "opinionated" and, as the article says, "abrasive".

I recently had one of those upgrade chains: new iOS needs new Xcode, new Xcode needs new OS (Mojave), new Xcode and OS need new Boost. All fine up to this point.

I'd installed Boost via Homebrew. So, fine, brew upgrade boost.

A bunch of stuff scrolls past... holy ---- it's upgrading Postgres?

Oh great. Now a whole bunch of work I have stored in a Postgres database is inaccessible. No problem, Homebrew apparently has a Postgres upgrade script now.

Except it wouldn't work, complaining "no upgrade path" from PostGIS 2.4 to 2.5.2; and Homebrew wouldn't install both at the same time. Eventually, after much experimentation, I found Postgres.app came with all the right versions, allowing me to pg_dump it all out.

But my word... while trying to figure this out I spent hours looking through the issue tracker, and the state of it. Endless snark about "we don't support old versions". Fun like this: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/5675#issuecomment-46...

It's a good tool, just don't expect any support with it, ever. I kind of feel that Homebrew's slogan should be "Homebrew locked as resolved and limited conversation to collaborators".

I get that, that is why I ask. I'm interested in becoming a full member of the team and fully integrate but I would like to keep my company setup just for the legal side of things & payment. I don't mind having a longer term contract with a well defined termination period etc.

Another possibility would be to become an employee on payroll and keep my company active on the side but that makes things more complicated regarding taxes and I would lose the benefit of receiving all payments through my company and keep most of the money in there to reinvest and build its assets.
