I changed careers via a bootcamp. I've got VERY mixed feelings on how that industry works...

But just the idea of going back to school to sort of "retool" or expand your toolset for 3 months full time, or 6 or something and get something worthwhile IMO could be the future. The question is if employers will support it.

Granted going back for a more traditional school experience could be a very legitimate route too.
It's been making the rounds on the west coast, especially among reporter types in SF.
>The other side of the argument now is the fear of interacting with somebody elses child as and adult, last year I came across a small girl(5/6) who had fallen and grazed her leg and there was nobody else around, I was really deliberate about not touching her in case parent or guardian came around the corner. I felt horrible about it but thats the way things are I guess.

I know the feeling. I was walking my son home from school in downtown Boston and we approached a street corner where two young girls (looked like Grades K and 3) were sitting on the ground. I did go through the mental process of asking myself it was OK to talk to them because my son was with me and then (most importantly) thinking about what I'd want a friendly stranger to do if it was my kid there.

As it turns out, they were dropped off by their school bus, but there was a miscommunication between mom and dad about who was to handle pickup. Fortunately the older one knew dad's phone number. He ignored my call, but immediately called when I followed up with a text to explain the situation.

You do have to be very careful, though. As a coach of youth sports, a common task for the very young kids is to help them tie things. I'll do shoes, but mom or dad have to help with your shorts.
I didn't say it stopped them. I know it's possible for them to do it.

I said they should stop doing it. It's completely impossible to be even remotely impartial reporting yourself. Isn't that obvious?
I would agree that a lot has been done, and believe me... I wasn't dumping on Uber. I still use the app myself. I'm just saying from a practical viewpoint, it's a serious consideration to be made if someone is moving to a new job.
Whose morals are more important? Which morals are under threat? Most issues that affect life, ending it, sustaining, and now modifying it, are drawn from religions. While some are obviously to the benefit of all they all apply towards the living.

Gene work prior to life; yet another term with much debate; is not the real issue, it is what happens to the life that comes of it. What are the rights we will apply to a person or animal that was modified by gene edits? Animals are pretty much a wash as society only distinguishes between pets and livestock within certain societies.

So how do we address people born of this work? Are groups going to demand that certain work is never done? Just look at current news around the world for some points of contention. People are always point towards issues which they assume cannot be disputed, deadly birth defects or handicaps that prevent a self fulfilling life. However what if, provided it can be done, if groups decide to limit the number of births of one sex? Or say, should it ever be provable, if homosexuality is genetic, would we disallow removing the combination? A dictatorship that decides to create a modified race of brain addled fighting men?

Then consider all the effects on competitive areas, from sports to education. Would engineered humans be afforded the same consideration or locked out?

Because the BBC News operation try and maintain an editorial firewall between itself and the rest of the corporation. In this case BBC News reporting that a UK broadcaster (the BBC) feels the attack on ABC is worrying is relevant to the story.
Where else in the world can you realistically earn as much here in the Bay Area though?
I don't check bags. It's usually more than $25, and it's a giant pain in the ass dealing with checked luggage. If I can't fit everything in my carry-on backpack, it doesn't go. So yes, it is a big problem. Don't forget, when you change planes in the US, your luggage doesn't even change planes automatically.

And how is "drink" a significant cost anyway, to get in that list of yours? In Japan, they give you free water at every meal.

You can easily buy luxury knives from Seki, Japan at specialist websites like jp-knives.com and have them shipped for free.
are there any concrete, tangible advantages of glfw over freeglut? I see the glut api as the paragon of usefulness and simple elegance, and I'm really curious how glfw can be any better than that.
Journalists should know that if they walk the fine line between legal and illegal then they run the risk of being investigated. If they're confident they're on the right side of the law then they have little to worry about. What I take exception to is their attitude, as if it's some great affront to decency and democracy that they should come under any kind of scrutiny.

I don't see many people hurling childish insults on HN, but here you are.
I think this is cool just from the "sharing code" perspective; yes, it needs some more work, but that's the way games are. I can't give any suggestions there, since I haven't touched game code in decades (well out of date for today's MP stuff). But I like what I see so far from this demo!
Interested people may also be interested in Handmade Hero[0]. The game is being developed — from scratch, engine and all — in real-time and streamed by Casey Muratori. It’s cpp technically, but he uses very little and sticks to mostly C if I remember correctly.

I can imagine that working remotely is really nice if you have only senior developer with a lot of experience who are great communicators.

But how do remote companies deal with junior developers? Do remote companies offer internships, and how do remote companies mentor people fresh out of college?

I've had a couple of interns, and mentored junior developers, and sitting right next to them makes all the difference in the world -- in my experience. I just can't imagine how that should work over Email or Skype. Or is remote just something for people who are more independent?
Just because people don't notice the animation doesn't mean they aren't affected by it. The smallest distractions can cause a loss in focus. A web browser is a tool I use for work, and it isn't just about what I want, it's about what I need.

> The power consumption of some of these old workstations is obscene

Absolutely this.

I work from home and for around six years ran a company provided refurbished Dell Precision (a T5400 I think) workstation with dual Xeon CPU's, SAS Disks etc - this was around 2008. I think when purchased new this machine cost around GBP3K, we got it for around GBP1K. The thing was switched on for around ten to twelve hours a day and the power consumption was (I eventually realised) eyewatering.

The machine fortunately developed a fatal motherboard fault and I replaced it with a self build Core i5-4690K machine with SSDs and a modern graphics card. My electric bill halved and I got a way more powerful and energy efficient machine. It was quite a revelation.

These old machines may seem like bargains, but energy-wise they're just not economical to run (especially at UK domestic energy prices).

Here are some physiological (or maybe I should just say verbal) reasons that contribute to my own shyness (that i suspect others experience as well):

1. I have a difficult time verbalizing my thoughts, and I'm very self-conscious about it, which keeps me relatively quiet a lot of the time. I feel like there is a chasm between my brain and my mouth.

2. I find social 'banter', especially the type you find in group conversation, contrived and difficult to participate in. A one-on-one conversation with a person is much easier for me to participate in.

Not to shill for Peloton (I don't have one), but the success of SoulCycle and Barry's Bootcamp show that there's appetite for $32-$35/class "boutique" fitness classes. If you would otherwise go to either/or 1x-2x/week then the math does work in Peloton's favor when you factor in the class + transportation to/from + removing temptation of buying a $10 smoothie too + any "add-ons" you'd otherwise buy (e.g. water).

That's because you don't understand what "opinions" are (at least, in this context).

News stories should be brief and answer "5W" questions (who, what, when, where, why). As such, they're supposed to be based on the facts alone, and others should draw their own conclusions from them.

Opinions, on the other hand, are used to put the news stories into context. Journalists are supposed to have more background to the stories than you could learn from just reading the facts (since they're the ones that wrote them). That background can be used to help you interpret those facts.

In this case, an incident happened. BBC put out an opinion piece to tell you why you should care about that incident before they had enough facts to answer all five of those questions. A news story links to that opinion so that they could help you with placing those answers into context.
This kind of communication is important whether you are remote or not.

Of course you can muddle through on-site. But it is a monstrous waste of efficiency.
What a load of strawman arguments, whataboutery and general rubbish. Of course it's possible to have untrammelled freedom of speech. It may have downsides in many cases, but perhaps that is a price worth paying. Also, in what way does exposing the murder of innocent civilians by Manning not count as whistleblowing? Finally, why should free speech protections be restricted to journalists?
They say then they’d only have people who live in low CoL areas and they want diversity. Seems odd to me.

I’ve read a lot of code as a consultant. The best codebase I’ve read had almost no comments and was written in erlang. Besides that every codebase I’ve read in Golang were super clear and of excellent quality for the exception of one that was written by java developers.

I can say I hated reading C because of maccros and different build systems. I hated C++ codebases because people abused generics. And I hated Java the most because of the verbosity and the directory structure and all the layers of abstractions and all the factories and all the singletons and all the...

Because if you normally heat your house through cheaper means (wood, natural gas, etc.) like most Americans, then it's still going to add a lot to your power bill.
There is another good one. Bayer took HIV infected blood from US and Europe and sold it in Africa, infecting many people with HIV in the process.

Also, many medications have under reported side effects. I myself have experienced insane side effects from an antibiotic. Doctors I have seen fail to report to the FDA and claim it is something else. I have talked to many people with the same symptoms and again they encountered the same issue with the medical community. While the FDA actually has been adding more and more serious side effects to the medications label, due to people self-reporting because doctors fail to do so.
Yes, over normal timescales. A lot can happen in a thousand years.

I'm about to leave a big tech company to join a remote startup. I'm pretty excited about all of the work environment benefits. That said, I'm a little worried that I'll just get lonely. I'm pretty introverted and get a lot of the social interactions I need at work, and often enjoy coming home and simply _not_ working. My tentative plan is to push myself to get involved in something that requires regular attendance, right now I'm thinking Toastmasters (public speaking isn't something I fear, but I've got a lot of room to improve) or improv. I'd really appreciate any advice from remote veterans.
I'd argue that there's no way to know such a thing in the moment, and the reason for that is because you're observing a living thing learn and discover facts about the best way to survive.

It's an open ended scenario. The organism could learn a robust survival method that helps it survive more efficiently, without making it more lethal. It could learn nothing at all. It could learn to be less lethal but more transmissible. It could learn to spread to other organisms, or whatever opportunity proves advantageous.

It's possible we could notice pathways that represent doomsday hazards long before it would be possible for an organism to naturally evolve into a new version of itself. With that, we might focus on adaptations that never appear, yet cannot be ignored. Like watching for a robber that never robs us.

It's probably only worth worrying about robberies when it looks like we have a robber on our hands. And right now, we're observing an awfully effective robber in action, right now.
Uhm, doctors and medical professionals wanting to expose the rape and abuse of child refugees on Nauru might disagree with you.
Any selection pressure is there to trial the data and persist the useful data. What is considered 'useful'? Well, that's an existential question that is synonymous to `what's the point to life`. I don't have the answer but there does seem to be an intent in the process.
The number of languages is stunning. Does anyone know if the number of languages is just the officially named languages or if it includes creoles? The language I speak is a creole of two languages and doesnt have a name or writing system really, and I'm curious to know how that is counted.

Right, Australia has no bill of rights. The State of Victoria (Melbourne) has a charter of human rights, but I don't think it's binding. Australia courts have held up freedoms of protest and press in the past, but technically the Crown does control all communication. New Zealand has an official office of censor.
I don't think "most companies" use open offices. I think it varies.

I do agree with you, when I graduated from college, I explicitly didn't want to be in a cube farm. Graduating me was an idiot, and I very much do want to be in a cube farm.

Also, I don't think lumping "millennial" as the cause of open offices is the correct reason. I feel like it's initially attractive for a lot of college grads, but it's generally opposed by people with experience. If you're at a place that doesn't have the working conditions you like, it's because they don't (or can't) value you enough to provide those conditions. I'm a millennial as well, but have only worked in an open office once, and that was when I was younger and had less experience.

If your estimation and metrics tracking doesn't catch this remote, it won't catch this in an office. It is true that it's easier to hide incompetence and laziness, but perfection is the enemy of good on those scales.
I don't necessarily disagree with your larger point, but there are at least two important factual errors here:

* Australia does have an implied constitutional right to freedom of political communication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_constitutional_law#...
* The federal election was on May 18, this search was on June 4th, well after the election. If anything, the AFP may have waited long enough to ensure this did not affect the election.
Halo for PC (all of them, via the Master Chief Collection) is coming to the Steam Store soon. That might be exciting for some people.
Agreed. Rocket has been an absolute pleasure to use. I'm looking forward to it being able to run on Rust stable at some point. Procedural macros abound!
>> That makes me wonder why the sword was buried in the first place.

That makes me wonder if the sword was ever really buried. It is a valuable object. If you think it is going to be brought out again, you don't bury it like you would body, certainly nowhere near decaying flesh. I would put it in some chamber near or above the body, more like in a safe than in a grave.
It's important to note that Australia does not have a bill of rights. Victora (Melbourne) has a Charter of Human Rights. Although Australian courts have held freedoms of protest and press in the past, technically the Crown does have the legal power to control and censor communications.
That is always a risk if a team decides to pick up a new language but does not make the effort to learn the language properly. At work we are going through a similar Java - Go transition, so I know :(
Those difficult decisions are there right now; life extensions just push them further away. I don't see the problem here. And yes, longevity treatments will necessarily involve reducing disease and aging, or else they won't increase your lifespan. Aging is simply a disease, where much like AIDS causes your immune system to fail which causes other diseases to kill you, with aging some other aging-related disease finally kills you, such as Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease, etc. Longevity treatments will necessarily result in less disease, even if they can't figure out how to stop all diseases right away. I don't see how they'll result in hordes of centenarians on life support.

Gusto will make the correct payments, but you still have to set up your "business" in each state. I have the same problem too. I still get a bill from the State of Washington every month, despite the fact that my last employee there left over a year ago.
Yes but SDL supports mobile and consoles and with either one, you can get an OpenGL or vulkan context pretty easily. Audio is honestly the other big plus (do you really want to navigate windows audio driver handshakes or pulseaudio...).
It's intrusive because it takes up space on my screen, and because it's completely useless without a Pocket account. Thanks for the tip about removing it from my address bar. Done. It still shows up second in the dot menu, but it's an improvement. I'd rather it were an extension that was installed by default that I could uninstall.
They make parts of it as optimal as possible (free food, nice facilities, readily available supplies). They do not bend over backwards to make the actual work environment optimal, as evidenced by all of the open office plans.
So yes, what I am saying is I appreciate the arguments around practicality, urgency and time frames; at the same time I see a lot of institutional inertia.

A basket of technologies is to me a better determinator for progress (or shift, if you prefer).

The main focus in developing countries is foremostly on the human front: basic needs, personal security, health care, etc. It's does not make sense to me to expect the switch to electric cars to make or break general progress. Air-to-fuel alternatives are very attractive as a basket of "energy goods". I can see companies here setting up their own production centres. At the same time the existing infrastructure can benefit (such as large oil pipelines, the existing car and truck fleet, power generators and peak energy production, etc.).

Don't misunderstand, I think electric cars would be a better future (nitrous oxide byproducts, I am looking at you). Air-to-fuel tech is a great supporting basket item.
