You almost imply as if there is a scripting or programming language that is perfect and free of any criticism or disadvantage?
It compares to the Model Y in size but to the Model X on price. This doesn’t seem like a winning combination.

Edit: that’s a bit too glib. I’m sure it’ll do just fine as a niche product for a certain group of buyers, which is what Jaguar is all about. It’s just not really competing with Tesla, which is trying hard to go after the mass market.
So people or companies generally look for product engineers ? For job postings I normally have not seen such role defined.
Probably assuming a generally constant rate for privately owned residential security cameras across geographical differences
A lot of the criticisms were perfectly valid security concerns (some of the old default behaviour was insecure by design). Fortunately the language has evolved a lot and is nowhere near as bad as it once was. Also a lot of the criticisms were based on PHP being an easy "beginner language" and so being used by a lot of people who had no idea what they were doing.

If people have valid criticisms of modern PHP then by all means air them, but don't go ragging on the language in 2019 for problems with PHP written in 2004.
The first story though, in Exhalation, "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate", is one of my favorites. It's also available standalone.
My cynical side says that if they manage to kill Tesla, they can go back to the leisurely pace of updates that suits them. Say hello to 100km batteries being standard, with 300km and 400km packs sold as premium extras.
Every time I select a bit of text on this page, a share box pops up, at least partially covering some other text on the page.

Is this intuitive UX?
It's not a bug, it's a feature /s
I agree. It's like he's going down the list of boxes an urban millennial hipster is supposed to check.

Once drove an old Toyota... check

Plastered said Toyota in the kind of bumper stickers you usually have to be a Prius driving tenured professor to amass... check

Ethically sourced pet... check

Uses said dog to woo women on tinder... check

Girlfriend makes demands and he caves to them... check

Doubles down by marrying her... check

Had the author gone on to discuss his preferred micro-brews, farmers markets and the best way to die your hair blue I would have assumed this was a satirical piece.

I have no problems with the people who do all these things. I check a few of these boxes myself. I take issue with the people who broadcast it like it's something virtuous.
Slightly tangential, but it’s interesting that Hong Kong’s safety index is higher than one of Singapore, considering the apparently-stricter overall regulations in the latter city. They don’t seem to disclose the sources for safety & crime indices, though I assume they used a trustworthy source.

EDIT: They do credit the source to numbeo.com, which doesn’t rely on government stats (https://www.numbeo.com/crime/).
Full Stack Web Developer Is Looking for a Job
Hello.

I have a huge web development experience (more, than 10 years) and a huge list of skills. I have a Canadian B-1 visa and UAE work visa, I have a top-rated status on Upwork.

I am looking for a remote web development job or I can move to your location (but need sponsorship for it). Please look on my CV here: http://cvmkr.com/Ky4Z

Looking forward to work with you.
Thank you.
Those decades of history are largely talking about a PHP that doesn't exist any more.

Yes, the language has it's warts, but if you think $language doesn't, you're just new to it.

There are many large PHP projects that generate tons of revenue. New frameworks like Laravel and Symfony 4 make whipping out MVPs that can scale pretty damn easy.

That’s easy to say from the outside.

There are many reasons to call attention to things not working (e.g. the bottle example given above) and the ultimatum can be the last step. And when kids are involved (not in this case) it’s typically better for all concerned to have two parents if that’s possible. So you may hang in there longer than might look sensible from the outside.
Also, Microsoft has an incentive to eliminate viruses and malware completely - to make their OS safer. Third party AV companies rely on continuing threats to stay in business. I'm not saying AV companies hold back or help malware out, I'm saying Microsoft has good reason to throw huge resources at the problem as a whole.

I think it is like any profession, there are good and bad ones and there are some that provide lots of value and others that make it their mission to gouge every client for every penny. The biggest lesson I have about attorneys in general is same advice I give people when they go to the doctor. Don't just blindly trust what they tell you, challenge them, educate yourself on the issues and if they won't discuss it with you intelligently, find someone else.

In my personal experience I have found that when I find a good lawyer they are worth every penny they charge regardless of the rate. The best lawyer I ever had was a $450/hr partner in a smaller firm but he was spectacular and what he would bill me an hour for I had other lawyers in the past bill 1/2 day for, so his value was high but his quality was also stellar. On the face of it his original $5k retainer didn't feel like it was buying much, but after seeing how productive he was and how good he is, he's worth more than what he charges. He specializes in employment and contract employment law, nothing else, so a fairly narrow focus by many standards but still a big area IMO.

Other times I have been gouged. One I hired to provide me with pros/cons of specific business legal structures I was contemplating for asset protection and separation of risks. She came back to me after charging $1,000 with a 1 paragraph memo that told me to do whatever cause they would all be equal in protection. I challenged her but learned she just was a moron when it came to understanding risk mitigation and asset protection even though she advertised it and was recommended by another lawyer. When I took her memo and my requests to a firm that had more of a reputation they took ~4 hours and gave me back a 5 page memo of recommendation based on pros/cons and had I followed the original advice I could've put a ton of stuff at risk.

Just my 2 cents too, I don't think woman vs man, or old vs young makes a damn bit of difference overall. Experience does matter, but I wouldn't choose or disregard anyone over anything but bad recommendations or poor quality of work.

One last point, as you asked about overcharging which I gave you some personal experiences around value etc. But something else I have seen many firms charging monthly retainers in the multiple thousands of dollars for startups to have an attorney on call. I do not subscribe to this nor recommend it in general. Yes you need to retain a solid attorney and firm to get them familiar with your business and help setup the initial contracts etc. But there is no way you need a $3000/month retainer when just starting out like I have seen happening in the past few years. Same with accounting, you don't need a $3000 accountant retainer every month to book 30 transactions. You can hire a consulting book keeper to do that work and have an accounting firm review quarterly for a lot less money. A caveat, if you are negotiating enterprise deals or dealing with a highly regulated business then the attorney on a monthly may well be necessary early on, even before you have real revenue.
It is but windows has similar backdoors and just does not use them.

I am not arguing against you by the way, I completely agree with you in fact. But I don't think it is worse than the propriatery operating systems on our computers. :)
Yep, Apple's market share is around 11%, so only 89%(ish) of smartphones. Not 100%, and doesn't include desktops / laptops / etc.

Still, about 8x better than AirDrop!
Scala’s Case Class in Python with Case Matching
Legal definitions are not necessarily factual ones. The classic example is the 1818 US Court case "Maurice v. Judd" [1] in which a purveyor of whale oil wanted to avoid paying the taxes which were applied to fish oil, on the grounds that whales aren't fish. The court ruled that for the purposes of taxation, they were.

"Less law" in the sense of fewer areas of life covered, not the number of words written.
Say for example you own a small store and you want to put a camera near the cash register, both to ensure employees don't steal from it and to capture the faces of anyone who may attempt a robbery (armed or otherwise) - this would be a privately owned surveilence camera, now suppose you own a chain of these similar stores, you now own and operate a surveilence camera network...
So a 'product engineer' is a 'good software engineer'? Unless you are a drone you should always ask the questions of why something needs to be done before implementing it. The engineering part of software development has to be done before you start typing on a keyboard.
why you already hold the success key and want to drop it? Quit programming? Are you serious? Do u even know how many people in this world want to squish into the programming world everyday?
Do you prefer ads? Or you just don't think writers should get paid?
I would far, far beyond gladly change far more than my clothes for anyone who would even finally show up to a first date with me. More and more of us are isolated from the rest of our species by the technologies interting themselves between us to create billionaires that we don't even have a friend that we could tell that we finally got to go on a first date. How could you tell me to break up with a human like this if I ever was so blessed?

Does this change of perspective mean anything or help at all to anyone?

I've been crying all night, almost every night for about 3 weeks now, sleeping 0 to 3 hours a night, because Google's Recapcha service a few weeks ago, for no apparent, communicated, or appealable reason decided to reject all of my captcha answers no matter how accurate they may be. This means I have been sent out to an internet leper colony so hideously lonely that I can no longer even post on 4chan or talk on Omegle.

And you would tell this person to dumpster a real life in-person human being because she was worried she'd wind up as defenseless and alone as me.

...relationships have to get way more actually abusive to be worse than no relationship at all, which is the threat we frankly all face.

Help please
Define love, then define hate and apathy. I use apathy as lack of caring. Kinda like 0 on the number line. I think hate and love should be used sparingly and appropriately. I don't like my kids saying they hate something. I ask that they qualify it as dislike.

I define love (and many will disagree) as self sacrifice for the benefit of another. I define hate as self sacrifice to the detriment of another (again, others will disagree). As others will point out, these are very limited and might not capture the love of a child for a parent, and I'm ok with that. I think we use these terms too loosely in general: "I love my phone" or "I hate my new haircut." I prefer to use "like" or "dislike" in these contexts. I would not self-scrifice to harm my new haircut. However, if I love my home, I will sacrifice my time and effort to make it better.
As does everyone who buys ads.
It is not unique. Italy (another large EU founding state) has pretty much exactly the same setup as UK.

> The economy boomed.

Citation needed?

How about this: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/brexit/2019/03/21/economic-performan...

"Relative to G7 countries, however, the UK has slipped from having the highest growth rate in the G7 before the vote, to the lowest now (OBR 2018)."

"Worryingly, the gap between output per worker in OECD countries and the UK has widened since the referendum"

"On referendum night, the pound fell from a high of $1.50 to $1.33. This is the single biggest drop in the daily exchange rate since the 1970s among the four major currencies of the world. The sterling depreciation was expected by some to spark an export boom, but this has not happened."

"The fallout of higher import costs has to a degree fallen on UK workers in terms of lower earnings now and in the future through fewer skill development opportunities."

"Purchasing power has gone down. On average, real wages have been flat since the referendum. Nominal wages have risen, but below the previous 2% norm (ONS 2018). Consumer prices have risen to reduce real wages. Inflation rose sharply after the referendum and remained high till recently."

"Overall, the real economy shows signs of productivity and real wage stagnation, which has taken the UK much lower than other high-income countries since the Brexit referendum."

Lucky us eh! With our booming economy! Personally, I've found that running a business working almost exclusively with charities and non-profits, that since the vote it has been much harder to get our clients to spend money.
But police have asked people to submit security camera video if something happened your camera happened to pick up.
There are multiple benchmarks, but it's hard to trust anything because of varying level of skill with each language (and also there is no point in creating unmaintainable code just for speed as you say, the ideal comparison would be with idiomatic performance aware code). Also Julia is probably on tier 3, but in math problems it targets tier 1 (similarly how to python drops down to tier 1 for ML but on a language level).

https://julialang.org/benchmarks/

In the FaaS (also my preferred term) world the “ops” responsibilities include cost management. Fargate, Lambda etc can get very expensive very quickly if you don’t have a guy on top of this.
> That’s sorta Honda/Toyota territory.

A kid in my office said the same thing and I have no idea where people are getting this from. A brand new Model 3 costs about as much as an Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, or Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

The Model 3 is a compact executive car, and competes directly in that category. It is for the mass affluent. Not the mass market.
> Better lights are nice, sure... but it's a minor improvement

I love my fancy $10k headlights, they're a huge improvement when speeding through euro highways in the middle of the night. There's just nowhere for the cops (or anything else) to hide.
My wife used to joke that she should be worried about me walking the dog as dogs are “chick magnets”. As it turned out my dog was so magnetic that I might as well not have even been there.
Not necessarily. I would argue that any reasonable intelligent and competent employer/supervisor would recognize that an unhappy employee is going to provide diminishing returns over time, and the employer would be better served helping them explore related opportunities in the company. I've seen programs to help employees do exactly this at every place I've worked.

The only cases where I think it would usually be a problem are if your end goal is not with the company, or if the end result is seen as a going down the ladder (example: QA personnel moving into development is a positive move, but developers becoming a tester is often seen as a negative move)
Is it really event function as a service? It's not like you can just remote a function to Lambda at least (unless there's some framework that does that on top). It's really just a managed container with a fixed entry point and built-in instrumentation.
...and to build on your comment: Incentive to not slow down the performance of the OS while protecting it.
For what it’s worth, my 4.5 year old Model S has lost less than 2% of its original range.

You can’t compare with cheap electronic gadgets. Those push their batteries hard and do nothing to manage their temperature. Some EVs are similarly stupid; the Leaf, for example, is notorious for losing capacity fast. But good EVs will last much longer.
Ok. It is the only way for UK since EU refuses to give them the exit deal they want.

Also marriage is almost universal reason worldwide for permenant residence. So the people married to UK nationals will eventually be able to get permanent residence in UK and vice versa.

Rocket Reply for safe messaging while driving
Hi! My name is Alexey. I am developing an app for car drivers who do texting while driving.
Rocket Reply is an Android app which makes text messaging more convenient and less dangerous while driving by eliminating the need to type but use voice to text transformation and quick replies.
I am looking for any feedback from car drivers.
Thank you!

Absolutely. But I read the comment as complaining about efficiencies of automobile engines, not modern military jet engines. The combustion temperature of gasoline is 553K.

That's exactly the kind of thing I'd expect to do in a technical position in a small company.
> But they oddly hobbled Tesla by choosing the model 3 variant that substantially sacrifices range for performance

Maybe, maybe not. On the EPA test cycle the Model 3 Long Range and the Model 3 Performance all wheel drive models both claim a range of 310 miles. But on the WLTP test cycle the Long Range gets 348 miles and the Performance gets 329 miles. The rear wheel drive Model 3 Long Range was discontinued.

It'd be interesting to see the comparison under What Car?'s test cycle but they might end up pretty similar to each other.
My guess would be (mechanically) rectified ac. I'm not very knowledgeable about electrical machines, but I'd imagine that a generator with sinusoidal flux linkage and commutators would produce a waveform that looks like rectified single phase ac.
Send.firefox.com sends files over the internet, not peer-to-peer.

If you're somewhere with poor (or no) network connectivity you can still use Google Files or AirDrop (I believe, not 100% sure on AirDrop).
A higher number of cameras just barely correlates with a higher safety index and lower crime index.

What about conviction rates? For example, a lot of shootings in Chicago go unsolved. Maybe for lack of a witness?
Paraphrasing, you said

> There are engineers who can accomplish difficult engineering tasks when they are given clear requirements and engineers have the ability to find creative solutions when they are provided with problems and jobs rather than requirements and tasks.

I feel like I could perform adequately in either environment. The problem is I've previously found myself in environments where I'm expected to come up with creative solutions to a problem, but I have no access to the customer or even a simulated environment where I could try to do something similar to what a customer would do.

In this kind of case, it's impossible to really know how to articulate your requirements, because all you can use is a fantasy model of hypotheticals. But requests for more precise requirements are potentially brushed off as wanting to be spoon-fed what you need to do and having inability or unwillingness to think creatively.
There are numerous problems with this suggestion.

- "is a standard"? What does this mean? Google Files is not a standard of any kind.

- others have mentioned that this is very far from universal. Whatever about Apple devices, you're also discounting all non-mobile devices. Transferring files easily from computer to phone is probably the most common use-case. Yes, you can use Google Drive for that, but that's neither p2p nor seamless.

- the above commenter mentioned wanting a "secure" solution. That's a bit of a subjective term, but I would guess, at least on HN, the typical one would be e2e encrypted, and private. Google Files is neither of these things.

- the p2p function is severely limited in that it requires both a Google account, and location services to be enabled. Neither of which are necessary to initiate a p2p file transfer.

(as another commenter has mentioned), if we're just looking for "the closest thing", I would suggest https://send.firefox.com/ It isn't p2p, but it is secure and universal, so it ticks a lot more boxes overall.
+ 1 Yes, things really changed for me once I started to ask why we implement things. Tried to understand the manager/customer/stakeholder what is their domain? What kind of issue they want to solve? What is the business case we are working on?

I know as a software developer you don't want to do that. More fun refactoring code than dealing with management. More fun writing that piece of SQL than sitting in a meeting. Easier to whine about missing specifications than to understand the big picture.

Once I stepped back from coding and looked at the software from a birds eye view, I had actually a much easier time programming features than before. More knowledge, less writing code.
The diagram doesn't show a data link from the AV software to the AV vendor headquarters. Is that correct?
