The national anthem isn't about supporting the military or else. It's about supporting your country. And it is about remembering that sports is just entertainment. It's all for nothing without a unified country. Every other country on the planet plays their national anthem before sports events. It's not unique to the U.S. and it's not toxic. It's okay to be proud of your country. Even when it's not perfect.
Rather worrying for a device whose entire purpose is to generate and store keys...

Also especially worrying considering a deliberately 'bad' random number generator is almost the perfect way to subvert a device, since true random is inprovable
This is a very common view in certain areas that otherwise have progressive views. In these terms, the profit of developers is an evil that exceeds the benefit of any person having housing. In particular, new people are often considered nuisances or a burden or something that is bad for the neighborhoods, even.
Interesting that this post has been in the #1 place for so long. I don't use Go but I knew this already by having randomly read some things about the language. And slices are central language concepts after all.

Is it that the Go documentation doesn't cover the underlying implementation at the machine word level?
This is so incredibly cool.

I'm doubtful about that.
This, again, has nothing to do with the fine students of Chinese extraction. This has everything to do with the wealthy, powerful, and connected people at the top of the UC system and California state government opting, in true dictatorial fashion, to suppress the education of their own populace (by making in-state access more difficult) in the pursuit of short term monetary gains (from those sweet full-tuition dollars you mention, and probably some other incentives that were discussed over steak dinners). And, indeed, overlooking the negative effects on their own economy and long-term welfare (via espionage, lost education, etc).
I've seen a nice paper on this subject discussed on HN once: 'The Mundanity of Excellence' [1]. It's about how olympic-level swimmers end up at the olympic level. The point is exactly the one you're making: they do so by consistently doing the most boring things.

Hello Hacker News!

Here's a simple CLI tool that gets a full CRUD API up and running in AWS in under 30 seconds.

I design APIs all day, and find myself spending hours just writing the initial Swagger API specification file.

With this tool, I just have to define a couple of schemas in a Markdown document, run generate + deploy, and I'm up and running in AWS with an endpoint I can hit. Needless to say, this saves me countless hours.

I hope it is useful for you all as well. I always get so much value out of HN, and am wanting to give back. Free forever + open source. Concerns/suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks for reading.

> From the first google result I came across, "A typical fridge of about 400-500 litres can use around 495kWh of electricity each year".

The problem with "typical" is that the variance is high. It's even worse than that in hot climates with air conditioning because not only does the refrigerator compressor have to run more, it's pumping heat into a space that then causes the air conditioner to run more.

So the average isn't very informative without knowing where you are in relation to it. The difference in the numbers between Colorado and Florida is dramatic.

There are a few things listed in this thread. For me, my favorite Android tweak (once rooted) is to modify ro.sf.lcd_density to pop the phone into tablet mode (for most apps.)

Jailbroken IOS 9.3.3 had Little Brother, and there is a way to do it by modifying system files -- but if you mess up, you're totally screwed. With ro.sf.lcd_density, its as easy as taking the number and breaking it down by 5% increments until you find a sweet spot.
I did some digging into this at some point seeing it mentioned on a Strong Town's article. It looks like a city that tried to do it had it repealed because it didn't work as a merely city level tax[0], amongst other issues.

I have family who are Vai, a tribe from Liberia/Sierra Leone. The Vai language has a syllabary, one of the few independent written languages in Africa. As it says in the article, there is a possible connection with the Cherokee syllabary. When free African-Americans got the option to settle in Liberia some Cherokee opted to join, apparently not seeing a future in their colonized homeland.
That’s the point. Granting control on which zone should improve density has worked very well for land owners, not so much for anyone else. They haven’t set duplexes as a ceiling but as a floor on density.
I don't think the problems with the "classic OOP languages" like Java, C#, C++ and Python stem from the objects themselves. IMO it's the implicit mutability and lack of actual type safety (even for typed languages) that the new crop is trying to solve. And with functions it's more explicit and not "just doing the same thing better". This way it's probably easier for adoption, as people explicitly adopt "new ways" to do things in a "better way"

I agree it's fashion to some extent, and still could be done with OOP, though I think it's nice we are doing it this way (for the above reasons).
Because leaving it up to local governments to decide which areas to upzone will result in perverse outcomes, as entrenched interests will simply seek to protect their assets instead of provide the most good for the most people.

Removing the element of control prevents this from happening.
In Spain, the AC cannot be set below 26°C in public buildings by law, nor the heating above 21°C in winter.

2 things I don’t understand:

1. If Ive has been on his way out for over a year ago (some say since 4) why is he so prominently featured in the design videos?

Give a little room to the next guy, surely someone must have been in the pipeline for such a long departure.

2. If Ive have been practically absent all this time, working on the office rather than product, why will his actual departure turn things around with regards to product design?
At this sort of level, all power systems can be replaced or redesigned without the load being switched off...
Mist fans are great for this. I just hope my laptop will cope with the humidity. But after AC can't help (32+C), mist fan is still effective. North of Melb.

Who cares? Once equilibrium is reached, prices will be lower (or at least, rise more slowly). That’s simple supply and demand.

It is hopefully something more like Blazor. That would at least run one day in the browser.
There are some comments about infrastructure deficiencies here. Reality: Sprawl is more of a burden on municipal jurisdictions because infrastructure, including roads, has to be extended to it and it's not dense enough to adequately cover the cost involved.

If you play SimCity, you can kind of model this by creating a new city from scratch and creating an urban core. Place a fire department and police department at the center and build out to roughly the perimeter of their coverage.

Keep improving development within that footprint until you have an economically viable city, then add a satellite suburb following a similar pattern.

Not everything needs to be in that footprint. You can have farms outside of it, for example, and you can have some industry with only fire coverage, no police.

But if you build a sprawling low-density city, you will find it is impossible to provide adequate services. You can't afford to pay for them. You wind up with high rates of poverty and crime.

Missing Middle housing also helps get an area to residential densities that help make public transit make sense. It also helps improve walkability.

A lot of the problems we have currently are because America sprawls. These problems likely won't be made worse by gently increasing densities. Increasing density in a good way should start to remedy a lot of these issues.

A certain amount of laziness really is an important skill to have as a programmer, the busy bee will do lots over-engineering over-architecting and wheel reinventing. Where the lazy guy will go out of their way to find and use libraries and tools that save them effort and get the job done and have way less bloated code. On the other hand things like not being diligent about fixing bugs can be a problem though.
eh, but copyright as it stands now, decreases the availability of literature (I mean, aside from how it encourages creating it, which is super important, of course.) so those things couldn't have been reasons for creating copyright law as it stands in the US.

(an interesting side effect, as a person willing to spend money on books? It's a lot easier to get a good e-book of something still under copyright than of something out of copyright. Like, I'm super happy to pay $20 or whatever for something better-than-gutenberg and that's really a lot of effort. I don't really know how they do it, 'cause half the for pay out of copyright books for kindle on amazon are worse than just downloading the .mobi from gutenberg. For anything public domain, you have to wade through a sea of badly formatted garbage, even if you are largely price insensitive; price isn't a reasonable signal either way. On the other hand, if it is in public domain, you almost certainly will be able to find an e-book of it, and the quality you get just hitting gutenberg really isn't that bad, while if it is in copyright, if it is an obscure book, your only real option is paper.)

I wonder how much of my problem with finding well formated kindle books is my own lack of familiarity with the search tools and publishing houses? or with amazon's lack of features (like, some sort of rating for the publisher would be useful here. Right now, amazon makes it really hard with their combining of reviews for different formats/editions/publishers. Like sometimes the kindle version and paper version (for out of copyright books) will be different publishers, and amazon just glomps the reviews together, making it really quite difficult.
Where I live in the tropics we have ~32 degrees every day all year. I put my AC on 27.5 and think that's more than cold enough. I guess the stable temperature makes the slight difference in temperature (and high difference in air humidity) more noticeable.

Would imply that Croatia is not nearly as heavily taxed as e.g. France, or the Nordics.

The comments in the Reddit thread imply that a doctor might earn 1500-2000 EUR a month, so that does hint on the general income level, and does partially explain the low bill.

I had a zero cost drunken ambulance ride and anti-nausea shot in Australia and the doctors here seem to be paid reasonably enough - although maybe here they get more people going into medicine interested in helping people over profiting from them.

You could also say that resources of India had been depleted by greed, overexploatation and the lack of proper governanace. You can't run a multimilion city on borewells and groundwater - the government should had built proper infrastructure - pipelines, reservoirs, water meters, sewage treatment plans etc.

In a way India is a minature to the entire world.

It's cheap low-quality coal with high sulfur content. The level of air pollution it produces is insane. In winter time you can feel the taste of coal on your tongue.

That's what I am currently preparing to do.

Every single machine will probably be in some bad state with unknown chemicals settled into unknown pipes in the machine, requiring custom flush processes to be designed, and in some cases machines might have to be replaced, which in a human-free clean room isn't easy...
> Granted, redrawing the map based on watershed doesn't solve India's problem

Thats a recipe for political disaster. Identity based politics is the only paradigm of politics in India. Currently southern states in India are organised on linguistic identity and every now and then there are statements from main-stream politicians calling for secession and establishing a separate country to counter the influx for North Indians who are painted as separate racial and ethnic group by these politicians. Breaking up existing units of governance organised on the linguistic identity will add fuel to the fire of separatism and powers like China and Pakistan will be more than happy to assist the separatists movement that starts because of this stupidity. BTW this is the wet dream of Pakistan and China as to India's future. Be noted the human cost a separatist movement will cause. India's bulk of fighting forces is made up by youths from north India. Do this and we have a Syria or Bangladesh with a scale of 1 billion plus people.

That’s really how it works. I can attest to that as a former IT guy in a large organization. It’s a personal relationship with a clueless CTO. But to be honest, they’ve just replace IBM guys doing the same.

Big difference, IBM representatives actually knew their stuff. Microsoft would rely on its enterprise sales guys to cultivate this relationships, pushing CTO to make the most stupid decisions and using system engineers to sugar coat and hide the details.

Economically viable in this sense would mean when it is cheaper to mine from landfills than otherwise. That incorporates safety costs to do it.
My partner and I have, for the last couple months, been going through the medical system hoops over a broken elbow and resulting surgery. We've fiiiiinally started getting the bills in, along with the 'Explanation of Benefits', and so far 100% of the bills have included a patient-oriented error. And then spent many many hours on the phone getting them corrected.

It's goddamn criminal.

[edit: it's also 'fun' to think how much harder it would have been to identify the bad charges prior to the ACA's explanation of benefits requirements.]
IIRC the latest revisions of sb50 in California would have rezoned the whole state to allow fourplexes (while still upcoming even higher to 5 stories along transit corridors).

People just don't have enough experience with Functional Programming to really know how awful it is. So now it is the new kid on the block (in terms of going mainstream) so people think it is the best thing ever.

The most telling sign is how many FP languages are in existence today. If it was such a good thing we wouldn't need them all. It is a mess that cause many other types of problems without any clear benefit.

I do get that many people like the FP paradigm, no two humans are alike and people will find different ways of thinking and reasoning about a problem more suitable. Which is OK. BUT it doesn't mean FP is a any better than OPP or vice versa.

Last I would like to point out how Python (OOP) obliterated R (FP) it the Data Science market although R enjoyed a head start of few years and was the Franca Lingua of statisticians.

Also broke my ankle, and also had a plate installed via ORIF surgery. My insurance company was billed nearly $80,000 USD, and I was asked to pay $6k of that. And that was just the single procedure, not any of the follow-up visits or physical therapy.

The doctor who performed the initial surgery said that it is not common to remove the plate due to the risk and expense of another surgery procedure, so I still have it. Been nearly 5 years. Would love to get rid of it.

If I may ask, what was your consultation conversation like when you discussed having the plate removed with your doctor /surgeon?

Now if you were in the US, you'd get much more money from the start on you bank account. But you'll have to individually pay for health insurance, and individually plan for retirement. In the end it will cost you exactly as much, but instead of collective bargaining you're on your own against big insurance companies. Unsurprisingly, this rarely ends well for the lone individual against corporate behemoths.
