I don't understand your surprise. Text has many compatibility, readability, and uniformity advantages. How are you going to diff a tree? How are you going to make the display consistent across platforms & tools? How are you going to represent the details of the program?

In the end, you're still just projecting abstract objects onto a 2d plane, and text already does that in a maximally flexible way. Anything else is less.
Once when I landed in Narita Tokyo an attendant was waiting for me outside the airplane, holding a sign with my name on. She told me that my suitcase had gone to the wrong airport, and after that she led me to a desk where I had to sign a form (they have to let customs go through the suitcase when it doesn't arrive with you), and to get my address so they could forward it when it arrived.
But then again this was Asia, which, as the BBC article mentions, also has a lower rate of lost baggage.

In any case, the situation is overall vastly better than when I was doing business travels all the time in the nineties. My suitcase would be missing at least 25% of the time. On some flights it was a certainty that it would be missing.
Now it's pretty rare. Even on very short transfers due to delays. I've on a few occasions literally walked out one gate an run directly to another to catch the flight, and surprise, the case made it every time. Brought directly from one plane to another no doubt.

Unless you want to become a citizen, you'll need to learn Dutch (which is a good thing IMHO but some disagree) and renounce your other citizenship.

Sweden has an even simpler system, if the employer can prove that you are needed (and for most professions reading here that's less than trivial) you are almost guaranteed to get permanent residency in 4 years and become a citizen in 5 years if you want to
Whatever Japan does, it does extremely well. I bought a 0.1 mm nib size fountain pen in Japan last year. I expected it to be rough and unevenly release ink, considering how thin the nib is, but was pleasantly surprised at how good the pen was. It was a delight to use. It works smoother than my parker fountain pens, which I thought were pretty good.
SAARC excluding PK?
In some airports they do. I was in Atlanta last month, and a representative was checking bags against ID as everyone picked up their bag. I'm sure it is a function of the frequency of things getting stolen.
This isn’t true of any airport I can think of... and I travel (across the world) quite frequently.

The exception is baggage claims for international flights which are usually in a secure area due to the need to pass through customs.
Our daughter was in for surgery at a world renowned hospital #1 for what she needed ... and our experience was like your second example. After she moved to the step-down unit from the ICU, she had the same day nurse for the next three days and the same night nurse for four, as well as a consistent overnight NP throughout. We had a private room with a separate vestibule containing a washing station & laundry bin for scrubs/aprons. Also in the room was a whiteboard where the current nurse always wrote the intended schedule and reviewed it with us at the start of their shift. Our room had a single-bed sized sofa and a fold-out chair. It was quiet, and except when we had to wake our daughter for overnight oral meds, the nurses let her sleep. To be honest, while it was a hugely stressful situation, I'm convinced the hospital recovery environment and staff played an enormous role in our daughter being able to be discharged only 4 days after open heart surgery.

I think the article mentions that these are made in Seki city, in Gifu prefecture. Seki is famous for knife makers and they have a really neat knife festival with a street market. If you’re into that kind of thing, it may be worth visiting. If nothing else, you can get a sense of how traditional Japan manifests in these little industrial enclaves in small town Japan.
Show HN: SEC ICO No Action Request
This has previously been submitted and flew under the radar, in light on the Kik/SEC story being #1 yesterday, we are resubmitting to shed light on the SEC No Action Letter process.

Unlike every other ICO we are not promising profits or future value.

We think of ourselves as a safe sandbox to take on the legal risk associated with challenging the SEC current application of Law to tokens. In short we believe the legal framework exists for business to create “Blockchain Stock” (tokens) which can be sold to the public to raise funds without registering with the SEC, and we are asking the SEC to rule on our legal opinion.

However, unlike Kik we are seeking permission rather than having our ICO and then seeking forgiveness (or fighting in court).

One of Kik’s main arguements for not seeking to work with the SEC before raising $100M selling their token is because the SEC has not treated ICOs fairly, and the SEC has delayed issuing No Action Letters for ICOs (only having issued 1 No Action Letter to date). So far Kik seems correct, we have submitted our initial No Action Request on 10/31/18 and there seems to be no end in sight. In fact the SEC keeps asking for information we have already provided them with multiple times in order to avoid making a written response, they have even said they may not issue a written response to our request at all. Worse, even though our ICO smart contract isn’t even active and it’s impossible to purchase a token, because we have published our legal documents, the SEC is accusing us of making a public offering. We feel publishing our documents is about transparency in the SEC process, and encouraging others to work with the SEC.

We are going to avoid any legal discussion in this submission and instead just link to our published legal documents:

Please provide feedback or submit any questions and we will do our best to answer (but we will not be giving legal advice).

How to Test Your NestJS Application with Jest in 4 Steps
Friend of mine is a builder, mid-40's and had to give it up as his back literally an S. He's doing music now, not making much atm, but least he is active and not giving up on himself as many do alas.

Then you have professional footballers - don't see any old ones doing that.

So yes, some trades/professions do take a toll and in effect have age/fitness limits that do not correspond to retirement age.

Alas, nobody tells you at school the work-expectancy cut-off age for many a profession. Hence many will do a trade, that they will be unable to do in later life and not everybody wants to or is able to be a manager or business owner.

But many people fail to plan their pensions, let alone their working/income planning for a lifetime.

FWIW many (and I'll agree) would say 35 is when you start to really notice your age catching up with your body and downhill from their.
Can those employees progress in their career without speaking the native language ?

Will the kids get an education in English ?

Can the immigrant take part in social activities ?

Can they talk to their doctors or to the grocery store in English without misunderstanding.

How is the attitude towards English ? Will a nationalist government change those English friendliness ?

There are things like these a skilled economic immigrant should consider before immigrating to a non English speaking country.

Take the example of Québec, although it's a province in the English speaking Canada, immigrants who speak only English are not welcomed and frowned upon. They find it hard to get by. They end up moving to other provinces. If the immigrant is not white, the difficulties are 2x in Québec. To be fair, Québec's hate for English is well founded if you examine their colonial history and hence the strict language laws.

One thing about free healthcare and no real property taxes is that its a lot easier to retire early. If they lived in a coastal city in the US they probably couldn't retire because they'd need 40k USD per year in healthcare costs and property taxes.
There is, however, a non-zero risk for losing your handluggage or purse while waiting for your checked-in luggage. I know one fairly large (for European standards) airport where, for some reason, pickpockets (or what to call them) are able to get into the (closed) baggage area, and you have to keep an eye on your belongings at all times.

This is truly one of the best long-cons in the tech industry history.

Whenever a post about privacy or freedom or some other unethical practice of a tech company surfaces, I always wonder if people are critical for direct reasons or because they can't have a piece of the pie.

There are white-hat hackers out there and people driven by passion, but even Richard Stallman has enough income or social capital to lead a decent life. Being a paragon of virtue is a luxury predicated on meeting a minimum living standard.
Because it's much harder to keep people motivated and it's harder to create an environment with efficient communication.

EDIT: I actually love the idea of remote work and I would love it to succeed. I believe that if a company is 100% remote and adopts it processes accordingly, it might work.

I still think that for a traditional onsite business, it's very, very hard to include remote people into the process in a way that keeps them happy and included.

PS: You also have to distinguish between "remote" and "async", which do not necessarily need to go hand in hand.
I’d argue it’s working every healthy day of your life is what’s not sustainable. You shouldn’t be paying people to do anything. People can earn their retirement, whether it’s through pension, social security, or personally funded IRA/401k or a reverse mortgage on property accumulated and paid for over the previous decades.

45 years of work should be more than enough economic output for one person to be able to get a “second childhood” as you call it. What the heck are they working for in the first place?
I used to use Wunderlist because it had a GREAT widget on Android. Then I switched to Evernote when I got an iPhone. Now I'm in a hybrid of real pen and paper and Evernote. Eventually I feel I will go 100% pen and paper. I use Pocket for saving things on the web that I want to come back to.

I've found that because I work with computer SO much that I need something analog to bypass that resistance to using a screen after a long day on computers. I have two notebooks. One strictly for work that I treat like an Engineers Notebook, 1-page a day, date at the top, sign off when the page is done, etc. The other I use for personal stuff and usually is just a to-do list.
Are you talking about eatin the rich and seizing the means of production?
The largest corporations don't pay any taxes today. What makes anyone think this is going to change in the future when they have more of a stranglehold on business and global economics? Universal basic income is a lie designed to distract you from this approaching nightmare. Figure out how to automate your own income or you will not survive.
Do you focus on side projects or business ideas?
How do you balance it?
I cant find anything about mental health, right?
All of these can be viewed as fallacies to another who has experienced long stretches of remote-only work. It is simply one person's take.

Why aren't more companies remote-first? It isn't as popular as it sounds like it is in tech circles, it isn't a silver bullet to the "problem" of work, and it comes with its own set of unique challenges and problems.
My understanding is that airlines like to load their planes such that the CG is such that the tail contributes basically no lift, to minimise drag and fuel consumption.

And that’s fine. There is nothing special about biological parents being the ones to take care of kids. Daycare workers, grandparents, etc., love the kids too and are better equipped to keep them engaged.

Indeed, our parents and grandparents spent half as much time with their kids than we are spending today, and their kids (us) turned out fine: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2017/11/27/parents-...

And they could recognize the error of merryland vs. MD.

which is an utterly useless metric unless it also takes how the world surrounding us has changed. Just from numbers in the article, housing has become 10 times as expensive, and the millenial generation has a significantly higher debt. I didn't know college graduates made 70k in the 60s, it sounds like an absurdly high number and if I were to guess what kind of salary you'd need to have today to have the same lifestyle and financial security I'd say its at least 250k.

Yes, the difference is that you can synthesize numbers which are not (yet) in the look up table. It would be super amazing if one could show that bees are capable of doing that.

During our recent stay, while the monitors did indeed beep, it was possible to put them on silent mode, which the nursing staff was happy to do because the rooms all had nice big LED screens outside the door with vitals alerts and the nursing station had a much larger multi-monitor display showing each patient's status. It turned our problem into their problem, but we never had an issue with noise. A large part of this is also because we had a private room, and the rooms all had vestibules for further sound isolution (and containing the scrub-in sink & laundry bin).

That said, besides the specific reason our daughter was in-patient to address, she was otherwise vigorous and healthy, and that absolutely was not the case for the majority of the other kids no the ward, most of whom had congenital heart defects and other developmental conditions, and I can completely understand why it becomes more important to interrupt less stable patients.
That's exactly what I (and many others, including my old parents) do. It really helps when you're waiting for your case, particularly for those big conveyor belts with tons of people.
I'd say "Environment" is on of the biggest reasons.

Traffic, pollution, living costs could all be improved by government mandating and stimulating remote-first policies.

Without government taking a stance - corporate bureaucrats will insist on usual 9-5 "come to work" nonsense.

It’s almost as if we should have a low friction way for people to contract for companies, doing simple non-physical labor, for as many hours a day as they desire.

Something where the investment in the worker is low enough that the company doesn’t need to optimize for someone who will perform at the highest level or have some upward career path over time.
Parsing error results inside strings

Fair point - this is a nasty result of their simple interface, and I think a mistake given much of the std lib doesn't use concrete types behind the interface. fmt.Errorf leads directly to this. It's simple, but not very flexible and can lead to horrible habits like parsing strings.

if .... else boilerplate

It's more like if boilerplate. People don't tend to use else unless absolutely necessary - it's if err deal with it, otherwise proceed. I agree errors in Go are more verbose than in some other languages, though in practice I don't find this a huge problem. I think I'd prefer result types but you're still handling it in a similar way.

If you're looking for offspring without some particular mutation you're much better of with embryo selection rather than trying to use CRISPR. It's only when you have some specific trait not present in the parents that you'd even want to consider it, really. Well, if you've got a problem on the y-chromosome or the mitochondria then you have a good medical reason but there just isn't that much on the y-chromosome and the three-parent embryo thing in the article is a good solution for mitochondrial DNA problems.
Of course this is all sustainable.

Writing a game engine in pure C: The Graphic Initialization
I've wondered this too. Maybe because almost all the people who have access to the carousel area are passengers with luggage. So any potential thief could also be the potential victim of theft - and in some game-theoretic way it is therefore most advantageous for everyone to be honest. Analogous to a Nash equilibrium?

Same reason why theft from tents on campsites is not (in my experience) so prevalent. Tents are vulnerable to burglary but most of the potential burglars are other campers and are therefore also vulnerable.
