I was referring to the public housing, not the market housing. If you’re a citizen it’s not terribly difficult to get your own unit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_housing_in_Singapore

This is how you preserve existing communities--it should be harder to move into a city than to stay there.
I realized it was an important safety improvement when I wrote a medium sized project in Rust. Put minimal effort into (manually) testing it (no automated tests), and then sat back watched while it ran flawlessly for a week, and then a month, and then 2 years. Zero issues.

I've never had that experience in any other language. Usually unless you're careful and put effort into testing and making sure that you handle every possible exceptional case, you'll have several bugs and crashes. Of course these are possible in Rust, but in practice I'vr found they're mucb rarer. Most of these issues are caught by the compiler.
Social responsibility is a thing.
One thing I really hope they don't do is altering the aspect ratio of the restored music videos. By altering the aspect ratio of the video, you are also messing with the cinematography of the video and putting your own "spin" on it.

To make things even worse, sometimes companies will even crop 4:3 footage to be 16:9, resulting in less things being visible than in the original.

Thankfully judging by the videos linked in the blog (at least the ones I've looked at), they've left the restored videos in 4:3.

For a good idea of how bad things can get when a company doing restoration messes with aspect ratios, this video highlights the bad restoration of Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

GIF is another curiously undecided word. I'm also reminded of "gigawatt", which was widely mispronounced following "Back to the Future" in 1985, but is now generally pronounced correctly. I attribute the change to the introduction of gigabyte hard drives.
I didn't say you could leverage it to guaranteed success, just that you can leverage a far larger amount of capital. That of course means larger risk along with the larger reward. No one is going to loan you 300k to invest in the stock market but they will to buy a house.
driving is dangerous so it should be unlawful.

Yeah I didn't mind learning C and the two operating systems courses were both heavy into Unix and C, which really gave me an idea of what was going on under the hood.

But I would have liked that to have been complimented with more Python or Ruby or something. I ended up learning iOS for my capstone project and went to the startup to build them an app, but also was thrown into needing to understand Ruby and APIs and everything that modern web development depends on. If I had even been slightly exposed to Rails or Django in school that would have been super helpful.
Lack of exceptions, and forced error handling is a big deal. As is explicitness around null.

It's funny, ~10 (maybe 15 now? yikes) years ago I was totally in a similar boat. Hardcore Python, felt that syntax was gross and brackets were dumb, etc (not that this is how you feel).

Over the years I have just grown repeatedly to love static and typed. The larger my code bases the more it (dynamic features) always seemed to be something that caused me trouble. Typed languages felt bad for prototyping, but as time went on that argument of mine just didn't seem to hold water. I definitely don't feel that way now.

And, while I do like Rust's syntax, and have grown strangely fond to the syntax coined "The Turbofish" ::<>, I just haven't seen a typed language that can do what Rust can with a vastly more simplified syntax (ie, Python). I imagine it's not possible, but I'm not making claims here - just thinking out loud. Of course, Haskell and friends might be near that camp, but arguably even if the language is as powerful I'd they're too different to qualify for my statement.

Anyway, not trying to convince you of anything. Just thinking out loud. Carry on friend :)
The "EU experience" (apparently what they show to EU visitors) is great on the other hand. Thank you for subsidising it for us, I guess...
>Because it costs money?

the question was "should" not can't. your answer is therefore normative rather than descriptive. let's agree to disagree that market forces shouldn't interfere with people's abilities to survive (healthcare, housing, justice system).

>Maybe they are getting something else out of it. It's cool with you to eliminate a lot of their jobs by raising the minimum wage?

you wrongly believe that raising the minimum wage will lead to mass lay offs. ny raised minimum wage in 2016 and 2018 and the only sector that cut jobs was food service.

> we can fix that by providing housing vouchers to those people, or changing zoning laws so more housing can be built to bring down the price, or nationalize the housing industry and just have the government build housing for everyone and we all get assigned a government issue apartment to live in, comrade

facetious nonsense. not a single one of those things is a current policy practice (section 8 is not a housing voucher).

>Either way, we address the problem of housing by dealing with housing, not by manipulating the labor market which is only tangentially related to housing.

like i told the other guy: go ahead and build housing at cost. until then i'll vote for minimum wage increases.
The guy (technically company, but as far as I know, it's one guy) discontinued the free availability of that emulator since it was eating into his commercial business, as such, I would be reluctant to recommend to link people to old copies of it.

I wasn't trying to make a point per se, just clarifying a common misconception about social policy in the US. The policies that exist or not at the Federal level tell you very little about the policies Americans live under; at best, it bounds variability of policy.

I don't understand why some people in US so desperately want to claim the first place in human right violations. Do you believe "Chemical castration for certain child molesters" is comparable to mass injections of huge number of people whose only guilt is having whatsapp on the phone, or not speaking Chinese, or having a beard, or not drinking alcohol? Is low quality food comparable with getting small piece of rice dough the whole day? The way US treated prisoners in Guantanamo is probably comparable to the situation in china, but normal prison are not.

I think it is important to keep the sense of proportion, things can be bad and require urgent action without being the worst. And saying things like: Trump is Hitler or human right violations in US are comparable to China do not help anyone. It just downplays the seriousness of the worst case and make the bad case look good.

I was first raised in Europe, in an apartment block just like the one described above (loved it), then in a western state...

You are lucky to have a creek, and perhaps other factors that make your community socially healthy? In general, my impression of suburbs in Northern California is favorable. They're much smaller than the one I was familiar with (Rocky Mountain West state). Property here is expensive, so neighbors don't get the chance to isolate themselves behind quarter-acre lands and identical vinyl fences. But where I landed in the US, miles and miles of suburbs lay uninterrupted except for an Applebees or a Walmart. All had vinyl-fenced yards, no one sat outside. No one walked outside - my relatives visiting and walking would be stared at suspiciously through cracks in the blinds. The crime is low, but paranoia so high that I wasn't surprised when I heard the story of an elderly Indian man struck to the ground and paralyzed when walking through a suburb [1].

For individuals like yourself, this quote applies, I think: “If you want to have the suburban American lifestyle, that will still be on offer,” Mr. Furth said. “What we’re really trying to change is that that has become so universal that there’s not much space left for anything else.”

This may seem unrelated, but if China was willing to worsen its relations with the US, and introduce tarifs punishing its own economy, it should have done it as sanctions against the horrible things the US does to people in its prisons. Stories told by blacks who were released from prisons in the US are terrifying, and China is one of the few countries that could actually help.

* The US imprisons 4 times as many people than China per capita https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarce...

* Xinjiang Accounts for 21% of prison arrests

* The US has 2 million people in prison http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/uk/06/prisons/html/nn2...

What is happening in China is an abomination, and political pressure is necessary. However the US should expect to be held to the same standards when applying political pressure, and it needs to resolve its own problems too.

I find it interesting that British English speakers are much more likely to pronounce the english sounding version rather than close to how it sounds in the original language.

For example, pretty much across the board I hear "filet" pronounced with the 't' in British English. But Americans almost always a silent 't' like the French.
I'm not actually sure how I feel about this. Australian English is distinct, and one of its key features is heavy use of shortened words and dropped letters. For example, the word "going" becomes "goin".

I don’t think that would ever function. Poor people ARE going to have children too, even if you could argue that they can’t provide well enough for the kids. Are there any countries in the world where poor people don’t have children? Personally - even though having children is no right - I much rather live in a society where it is possible to have children even if you have a very low income. Like you can in my country (Sweden). We still have a well functioning market economy.

This is 100% correct - my bad. Thanks for the honesty check.
I think it's pretty obvious if you use these languages. A lot of things that require you to heap allocate in Java or Python (like classes!) have stack-allocated versions in rust/c++. Which means that code which avoids slow heap allocation is much nicer than equiavlent code in Java that must avoid high level abstractions.

You're right that the GC isn't necessarily the issue. It's more the forced heap allocation which most GC languages come with.
Lifetimes. In C++ you don't have to think about ownership to make the compiler happy; you only have to worry about that stuff if you want your program not to crash.

I would also like to see a feedback option for wrong word (same spelling). For example I searched for "melee" meaning (close to) "chaotic fight", and one of the entries referred to a person called "MeLee". It should be possible to flag this and either automatically or manually review the entry.

> I'm here to watch all the comments about "child endangerment" which are coming straight from American helicopter parent culture.

At the time of replying (21 minutes after this post) there have been absolutely none of those on here. Literally zero. The one post asking if there's a minimum age doesn't even do that.

I don't think it is particularly constructive to assume people will post a certain way then brag that you "[came] here to watch [it]." Further it isn't constructive to preemptively stereotype anyone who would make such a post ("American helicopter parent").

I'd politely suggest you review the "In Comments" guidelines:

Au contraire! Languages with no mutation at all, like Haskell, still have a well-defined concept of state. If anything, it's more well-defined than in imperative languages based on side effects. I refer you to Rich Hickey's "Values and Change: Clojure’s approach to Identity and State" [1].

> If rationale informed effective product then a lot more people were successful.

That's not necessarily true, as plenty of businesses fail because they don't have a business plan for their product. The world is littered with great products that failed because there was no business plan or the business plan wasn't sustainable. Obviously, having a business plan doesn't make a successful product (and I never one intimated otherwise), but in this case, the feedback from YC was about the business and not about the product.

>Additionally, odds are that the best thing for the business (and founders) would being admitted to YC over any product change they could possible make.

If by "best thing" you mean "could raise money to fund the product in absence of a business plan" -- you're probably right. Getting into YC or a similar accelerator would make raising money easier for sure. But getting in doesn't guarantee funding or success in any way shape or form.

>They had non zero odds and I think it was a clever plan all things considered. If YC is looking at founders above everything else and less product, these young dudes seem to be cut from the cloth.

I disagree that they had non zero odds. They were rejected and given a reason why. The response to that rejection didn't actually answer the critique by YC (and the founders don't seem to have understood what that critique was). You're right that the product doesn't always matter when it comes to who gets funding, but in this case, being "clever" just further proved that they didn't actually understand that core feedback, which is wholly independent of product.

Look, I hope these guys try again. I also hope they take up the offer for office hours and take that feedback into perfecting their business model and their product strategy so that they are more successful next time.

In general I think that programs using the POSIX API to deal with system calls, threads, and signals is unnecessarily hard to do correctly. Especially if you want good performance.

I'd welcome some completely new operating system API that guides programmers towards correct and efficient solutions, rather than leaving numerous pitfalls that may only be discovered after the software is put into production.
With funding, you might be in the situation of having not a single cent more in revenue (possibly less, trying to buy growth) and failing hard because of having 30 employees more than you have now, and not the tiniest idea of how you could get by with less.

The intersection between the set of business opportunities that can work bootstrapped and set of business opportunities that work when strongly funded might be much smaller than one would naively assume.

There's no alternative. The only other option (for Facebook and content moderation) is to shut down the shop & return equity to investors, or do nothing and wait for the platform to blow up. And even then someone will make Facebook v2.

Just the economic incentive to cut moderators loose and use algorithms would be enough to do so if it were possible. After all you can buy a decent amount of compute power for 30+k/yr, that will certainly deliver more than the 100 or so QPD[ay] form a content moderator.

PS. I'm sure that most of the work is being done by algorithms anyhow.
I've been following the press about deep fakes for a while now, and it's been full-on negative, gloom and doom, a potential threat to every democracy on the planet, so on and so forth, in that fashion.

I suspect this is a smoke screen for something coming. There will be an event where a very real video emerges, likely of a political elite, and its contents will be so horrific and damming that the only defense will be to claim that it is a deep fake.

A large chunk of the public, now well primed for this, will accept the argument, even though many people will go to great lengths to show how the video is actually authentic.

But the jury has been poisoned already. The waters are muddied. There will be no conversation, and the mainstream, already pumping out story after story about how awful these deep fakes are, will continue to take up this position, and the sleeping masses will continue to sleep.

Keep your wits about you. The truth wants to come out.
It isn't just you. In a capital rich environment (where getting money for new ventures is easier than normal) a single success (even if it is just perception) and a low barrier to entry, can lead to many copycat companies appearing. And yes, they over saturate the market, and no you can't easily tell which will win and which will lose from the outside.

For the "serial entrepreneurs" this is an easy way to stay employed (it can be surprisingly hard to get a job at BigCorp with CEO on your resume). These folks might just start a new company, raise some money, and voila they are once again on an "incredible journey."

In my experience for each "successful" exit (where the investors made some money) you get a ticket for one free "future" company from those investors. Once you don't have enough tickets to get another company funded you either have to change venues (new people, less history), or change markets (also new people but can be in the same locale).
