Well, I think it's more likely that the fact that it's a notebook will make this less of a PR issue. HN is kind of a unique place, but out in reality land the set of people who take their 15" notebook with them everywhere, including the airplane, is much smaller than the number of people who take their phones with them everywhere. So it's hard to capture the public imagination with a notebook.

Apple releasing a new phone is an event not only for a lot of developers, but also for your average teeny bopper and housewife.

Add scala to the list. Or any typed functionnal language.
Statically typed languages that employ type inference (eg. Hindley–Milner) do exactly this, ie. you just write your function definition and the inference engine figures out its type. Doing this in the repl gives you comparable flow to doing it in dynamic langs but with full type safety.

I'm running 18.04.2 on a Thinkpad L460 (32gb RAM, SSD). It's an older laptop. I always get nervous to upgrade because it seems everything works with the L460. Wifi, Dock, wired etc, trackpad, etc. It has mad me return to Linus for day-to-day work again. I don't want to loose this feeling.
I suspect the plastic has only disintegrated into smaller pieces, which BTW, could very well find their way into our drinking water, farms, etc. In fact, I fear this sort of plastic disintegration poses a greater threat than plastic not being decomposed easily. We already have difficulty coming up with ways to decompose plastic. Fighting tiny pieces of plastic would then be a nightmare.

The locksmith problem on Google Maps is much less severe than it used to be, for a variety of reasons. Spam listings still exist, but it's less systematic than it used to be -- you no longer see one on every intersection of Manhattan, for instance.

>Why should a stranger be forced to pay for your medical care?

Those who don't want to pay for others usually leave for the US.
I've known Europeans or Indians too who think there are too many havenots in their country who will be dependent on state for their care and they knew who will foot the bill, so they left for the US.

There are all kind of people, some prefer private healthcare because they want to receive cutting edge treatment for all money they've and there are some who want to receive free treatment even if cutting edge treatment is not feasible for all of them.
Madrid elected a right-wing local government in the recent May elections. The parties involved promised this as part of their electoral campaigns. Car drivers who live on the outskirts and had to enter the central part of the city were furious about the banning of vehicles, even though it was for the greater good.

It's a crying shame because Madrid has good public transport. It needs more investment to keep up with increasing demand, and all the left-wing parties had that in their election manifestos. Now the local government will be "investing" in cars, which benefits the few and harms us all.
Interesting for me is the amount of abandonment on for the "unexpected shipping costs" issue. I actually have this issue right now. I'm trying to buy cheesemaking cultures and because I'm half way around the world form most of the places that sell this stuff shipping can be more expensive than the thing I'm buying. It really bugs me that shipping calculation is usually last in the multi-page cart layouts. I definitely abandon because I'm not willing to enter all of that detail before I know how much I'm going to be spending.

No, this here is why you want classes. On a large project you are going to have multiple people touching contiguous code. This block is going to have several pages of code between it and half of the declarations and that kind of ping pong is no big deal for a limited percentage of the Dev population but is NOT trivial for everyone else.

There’s a difference between having a problem and admitting you have a problem and lots of devs trip up on code constructs like this on a regular basis. It’s double data entry and that is bad. It also hamstrings editors, adding friction to discoverability. All things I shouldn’t have to explain to a framework writer but constantly find myself having to soapbox.

This reminds me of a youtube video and game that were linked to on here about a depressed game designer building a game to cope with his loneliness and despair and talking over it. Can anyone remember that or send a link? It was a 3d doom type thing.
Just depends on your application domain. I never copy/pasted code and could count the number of times I wrote `interface{}` on a single hand.
> It’s true that cleverly written tests encompass bad input, but this also means you need to add an additional layer to your test thinking

Sure, you have to deal with more cases in running code if they aren't foreclosed by static guarantees, but you are either adding the thinking to code static guarantees and you are doing the thinking to code tests, and I've seen overpermissive types from too-shallow thought on that (even when it's not due to insufficient expressiveness in the type system) plenty of times to not think its substantially less of a risk than inadequate testing.

I'm not against static typing; I definitely think it has an important place in the toolbox, butnmy experience doesn't align with the idea that static typing is universally better for rapid prototyping.
> Why are you using GRUB to dual-boot at all? Your machine has UEFI for that.

As far as I know, dual booting through UEFI requires me frantically hitting the F12 button during powerup to get into the boot menu. And then it won't remember your last chosen OS, so stuff like windows updates (requiring multiple reboots) become really annoying.

But I'll look into this, maybe I can just ditch grub all together, that would be great! My last linux/grub experience was on non-UEFI machines so I was just so used to installing grub that it didn't cross my mind that I might not need it.
> Does OpenStreetMap vet its info somehow?

Not in a strict sense of approving before it goes into the DB. But on the other hand it's easier to monitor what's going on if you have access to data and can monitor edits (e.g. with whodidit, achavi, overpass etc.)

Alright, after having done some research on effective, long-term measurement of air quality, I am here to give you some bad news.

Your sensors are going to break. Depending on the environment and the mode of operation of the sensor, you'll see between a one month and one year lifespan.

Why? Exactly because of the thing you want to measure: dust, oil particulates, water vapour and chemical reactions will quickly deteriorate the accuracy of the sensors. To properly protect them you will need at least a moisture trap and some kind of air pump to get a constant flow of air through your sensor. You most likely also want to filter out large particulates (if you're interested in sub 2.5 micrometer measurements).

That said, you can [1] get quite accurate readings from the sensors within their specified operation environment (sub 80% Relative Humidity).

I know it's super fashionable to hate on driving, but there's a reason why people drive - because they value their own time. I don't live in London but in a large city in the North, and when driving my commute is about 20 minutes, vs. at least an hour on public transport. Add kids to the mix and if you have to drop off your dearest at 8am but also be at work at/around 8am, then it might simply be impossible to do it on public transport in the right timeframe.

I'm trying to switch away from driving as much as I can nowadays, but there's a reason why people do it, especially with kids that have to be places. Ultimately, I don't think it's the issue with driving - it's the issue with cars being polluting. My next car is definitely going to be electric if possible.
Seems like the person filing is inhaling a fair bit of smoke. Wonder how toxic that is.
One thing that does equate with intelligence is capability for metacognition.

Less intelligent are also those less capable of realising that they’re overburdening their cognitive capacities with their convoluted code.

More intelligent people are likelier to notice that they’re making things harder for themselves (even if it is within the realm of tolerability) and look for alternative strategies.

I'm also young, but I hate whiteboards. Much lower contrast than blackboards. Pens can't go over pens for emphasis or in a second colour. Pens basically can't be seen from the back.

My alma mater swapped blackboards for white while I was there, and I found the brand new whiteboards and pens far worse than the who-knows-how-old blackboards.

Wasn't that perception around long before the 'bolted on' type systems appeared? To me, it seems like some of the clunkiness and sharp edges of the type systems of commonly-used typed languages at the time - C++ and Java had a lot to do with it along with RoR enthusiasts portraying static typing as some sort of tool of oppression.

For an odd application of PDE: you can define and solve boundary value problems over spatial domains in games to find a solution over the playing field that measures how near or far you are from desireable or undesireable locations. Then objects in the game (e.g. actors controlled by AI) can use simple gradient ascent / gradient descent using the local gradient of the solution to determine how to move, in order to e.g. avoid threats or chase the player

Landlords have to pay income tax on the rent. If owner-occupiers didn’t pay tax on the imputed rent, then the owner-occupier would pay a lower income tax than the landlord+renter. In effect, the implicit tax deduction that owner-occupiers get on imputed rent in US Income Taxes is a regressive tax on the renter+landlord. See also this explanation: https://www.vox.com/2016/4/15/11432676/imputed-rent-taxation
Thanks for the link and input. Any reason a team already more familiar with Postgres than MySQL would go for the latter in this case, is MySQL somehow more suited for such scenario?

Or your just mean "just pick a RDBMS", so choice of MySQL over Postgres over let's say CockroachDB (which should be a drop-in replacement for Postgres if-and-only-if you stay away from fancier Postgres features like array and JSON fields, stored procedures etc...) is not your point?

(As context, I tend too to pick a RDBMS in general, and Postgres in particular, but I saw projects where there was a huuuge impendance mismatch between the business logic and the relational model, data was simply unimaginably awkward to think of it in a relational model and manipulate it as such, it was all trees in trees in trees, mongo/couch model all the way and mongo was boring enough to be a good fit there.)

I think most people referencing this term aren't really talking about a hedonic
treadmill. There's a lot of talk about getting richer and not happier. But the
key to me is adaptation. As we move from one situation to another we adapt to
that situation, better or worse. We may think prison would be total hell, but
then get there and find that it's tolerable. Similarly, we could get a windfall
or major financial breakthrough and soon find that our state doesn't much
change.

I find there's a certain texture to my day to day and it takes a lot to change
that. There may seemingly be a lot of changes around me, but the texture of
my day stays largely the same. A major increase of salary might open a world
of options, but my time is my real bottleneck. I can make a list of things I
would like to do and then come to the conclusion that it's best to do nothing.
I imagine starting from a template for a painting session which is plain but
not blank. I can paint all sort of wild possibilities but then realize that my
reality is still that same plain template. I paint stories of dramas, ups,
downs, victories, downfalls, etc and the realize that nothing has actually
changed in the background. I just made all that other stuff up. Yes, the boss
really did fly off the handle and I feared for my job, but I know that tomorrow
will be business as usual.

Question for you guys. Do you feel that the hedonis treadmill is a thing
which pushes us forward? I would argue that it does the opposite, it holds us
back. I feel the greatest growth comes from the smallest period of being in
adaptation. Just long enough to decide, act, observe and get back to
orientation. It's just a long improv.

The tax payers. It's a government service, just like policing or firefighting.

> Why should a stranger be forced to pay for your medical care?

You may want to revisit this question if you ever find yourself in need of medical care. Ultimately, it boils down to which way you prefer to play the game of life - in a cooperative way, or dog-eats-dog, you against the whole world way?
I haven't watched the movie, but I read the book it adapted. If I recall right, the main feel (theme?) of the book was not "how terrible it is to be sentenced to silence", but closer to the feel of an adventure book, with the author telling about evasion attempts (successful or not), living on the run and living with an Indian tribe in South America. There are also depictions of the inmates' life in the French prison system. According to Wikipedia the autobiographical authenticity of the book is questioned, which I'm not too surprised about.

How do you gaslight someone you have only passing contact with? Its certainly possible to deceive them into believing a particular thing, but I think it would be impossible to make them feel that they are losing touch with their core ability to perceive reality unless they were already going through some difficult mental health struggles.

It's a living drug because it's a drug which is in some sense alive. It's made up of T-cells, from the patient's body, but modified.

We also distinguish "live vaccine" from "inactivated" or "killed" vaccines, for example OPV the cheapest way to prevent polio is a live vaccine, it's a version of the Polio virus that has adapted to a slow life in a cold medium, and then you eat it (literally, it was traditionally given by adding one drop to a sugar cube, the patient eats the sugar cube, delicious) and your gut goes "What? This is alien - kill it" and you become immune to Polio before it spins back up and causes any harm.

Live vaccines are dangerous (which is why we don't use OPV in countries with no polio and plenty of money, even though it is more effective than any alternative) and no doubt this drug is also dangerous, but hey, it's for people with a terminal disease so what's the worst that could happen?

Google products have up to 2 billion users. It's nearly impossible to scale any human support to this size.

Because it's actually billions of users. It's a billion of users for Google Maps. It's two billion of users for Youtube. It's nearly a billion for GMail. And the requests for those different products have to go to different support personnel.

In areas where there's significantly less users they do provide human support, for example in GCP.
