The title immediately reminded me of Alexander's "Nature of Order" [1]; HN audience might know him as the proto-father of software patterns who, allegedly, inspired GoF (although he himself is an architect).

First part of Gabriel's book [2] offers an interesting perspective on that matter, from software engineering point of view.

I don't think that's quite the word you're looking for.

We took the bus from downtown to UChicago. The express was fine, but on the way back on the regular, going through south side. It was way worse than SF.

That being said, the commuter buses in Chicago and the L were basically as nice as any other respectable public transit option.

> The fact that you compared it to London

In both cities I have lived near the downtown core. In both cities I was able to get mostly where I wanted to go in under an hour, within and immediately surrounding the city. SF is moderately better in that, within an hour and a half on public transit I can not only visit the city, but also wilderness in Marin county.

> Chicago's public transit ranks much, much higher than SF's

I don't buy most 'rankings'. Portland, where I live now, is supposed to have one of the best transit systems on the west coast. We're looking for neighborhoods to live in. From one neighborhood six miles from downtown, it would take me one hour by bus to reach the city. In SF, I have lived in the city, but I've also lived in Silicon Valley (~ 40 miles away, but still only an hour to SF via Caltrain), and in Marin (~15 miles away in San Rafael, but still only an hour to the city). Still, Portland for some reason is ranked higher. Portland is about on par with Los Angeles. The system is slow. Something is wrong with most rankings IMO.

But what would I know, I'm just some guy who's lived in a bunch of cities, and never commuted by car to work, ever.
The downvotes are probably from those who see your proposal as still maintaining the powers of the states. The core dogma behind abolishing the Senate is the removal of the power of the state and placing it all in the population centers.
Right now, there is no easy way, but you can do it manually following these steps:

Get an sqlite DB GUI like this awesome one: https://sqlitebrowser.org/

Open up the DB from https://sponsor.ajay.app/database.db

Click browse data and switch to the userNames table.

Find the userID for your username in that list and copy it.

Go back to the sponsorTimes table and paste your userID into the filter text box under the userID category.

Currently, the only easy to access stats are at https://sponsor.ajay.app/stats/
> The discourse around the James Damore memo, as divisive as it was, felt like it still led to a broader understanding of the negative perspectives women in tech had to deal with constantly.

Damore was fired for his contributions to this "conversation". Hardly just.

How about just returning what I'm actually looking for when I search for something? Or not killing products off when they get traction? Google users don't care at all about the politics of Google employees, they just want the product to actually work which seems to be less important that ever internally at Google.
Because it is fashionable to hate OOP and many don't understand that neither OOP == Java, nor none of the multi-paradigm languages eschews OOP rather embrace a mix of OOP and FP features.

Just like apparently, any FP language that has come before Haskell stop being FP, for whatever definition of what FP is supposed to be.
Sure. Difference being it is present the instant the ad starts (or a few sec prior) instead of after X seconds of the ad has played.
> the amount of things I need to keep in mind

Minimizing the number of things you have to keep track of when you make a change was specifically what OOP was designed for... what's the alternative? Procedural/structured programming is _way_ worse. I think FP is better, but it's so hard to do that I've never worked with anybody who hadn't given up on it before I had a chance to really tell.

And that pollution runs more or less unchecked in China. At least in the US, they'd be regulated by the EPA (for what that's worth).
Your comment seems unbelievable to me, though maybe this has more to do with my distaste for lines in general, but I can't believe that a fast food place has developed a sandwich that would warrant a 30 minute drive let alone a 25 minute wait.

I love the food in question, fried chicken sandwiches, and I was fairly disappointed with my first Chick-Fil-A sandwich, it was fairly lackluster. In my experience there are far better examples in non-chain restaurants that would warrant a bit of a wait.

Your comment may have convinced me to swing by a Popeyes, during a low usage time period, and give it a try.
Yes - iOS 13 finally adds this and I can confirm it works great.

Some additional features I'd like to see:

- Allow repeated calls through the second time

- Allow apps to pass the filter somehow (uber, door dash etc.) or make it easily to temporarily disable for 10min.

Even without these features it's by far the best solution.

The blacklists never worked well and were just hacks.
This just isn’t true, and this problem largely already exists in the US.

Many countries use publicly funded elections where all candidates get a set sum from the government to use towards a campaign. This would stop the billions flowing into races and ensure that all candidates have the same campaign budget.

Look at Texas, for example. The annual salary for a state legislator is pitiful (like $10k), which basically prevents anyone who isn’t independently wealthy from running from state office.
> There's probably also another way to do it that would, presumably, be illegal:

Whether the President commiting acts of war unilaterally is illegal depends on disputed Constitutional questions, such as the scope of Presidential inherent powers and the Constitutionality of the delegation of powers to the President under the War Powers Act.

i thought CAR and CDR were named after IBM (?) assembly language on an old machine.

In a perfect world, no.

In the world we live in, yes I disagree. Our criminal justice system further entrenches these problems. Before you claim that these petty crimes don't apply, the majority of folks in jail and prison are there on probation/parole violations, and these petty crimes are all jailable/revokable offenses for folks on paper.

In America, we put the already marginalized in jail and prison which only further entrenches their marginalization. Empathy means breaking that cycle.

Fear-based rhetoric around crime is not empathy. In fact, it's the exact opposite. And it's rampant in this thread.

I was responding to the quote

He ordered them to start looking if you want to be pedantic, which still does not "order companies home," as was stated.
In my experience, the first thing people do in an OOP language is name their first classes. Like maybe you have a Twitter crawler so you create a Crawler class and stick state into it. And maybe you create a few more arbitrary classes that collaborate arbitrarily, and it's like name-driven development. State sprinkled around. And these nouns basically solidify as abstractions that last for the life of the project.

FP on the other hand inverted this experience for me. I thought of the data first and merely built a pipeline on that data. Didn't have to invent nouns and classes. Just transformations on that data.

OOP has most people inventing abstractions on day 1 like classes by its very nature. It never felt like the right way to approach a problem to me. And of course, on HN there's an endless amount of "well, OOP is just misunderstood, you don't have to do it like that" which just never syncs up with my real life experience.
This article really took the absurdist language out of his chain of tweets. I think it's unfortunate, no need to deny people the depressed chuckle when they read:

I'm pretty sure that for a lot of these people, their "dream life" would be one in which they're a productive member of society and use drugs all day, and the drugs just happen to have no negative side-effects.

People don't want to live like drug addicts; but nor do they want to stop using drugs.

To reverse the timeline of an obvious example: the people on the street addicted to heroin, would much rather just become people working regular jobs who are prescribed heroin.

These people probably they got addicted to heroin because of chronic pain, and probably that chronic pain hasn't gone away. So any time the heroin is wearing off, the pain comes back, and that decreases the amount of energy/willpower they have to do anything besides the simplest, shortest-term thing they can do to stave off the pain: buy more street heroin.

You might wean them off heroin, but you aren't gonna make them not take some painkiller, because they still have chronic pain. They'll always be "a drug addict" in a technical sense; they need painkillers the same way people with diabetes need insulin.
And what if structurally (perhaps due to emerging technical and social constraints), companies increasingly outmaneuver governments? If technologists like us (those doing much of outmaneuvering) advocate companies being apolitical, then won't we then live a world with less and less moral courage within our institutions? (And institutions shape the cultural milieu in which we operate as individuals.)
The homeless problem wasn’t as large in the 80s, violent crime was maybe higher, but property crime seems to have been lower.

I worked at 3rd and pine McDonald’s in 94-95 (one of the main hangouts for Seattle’s homeless population back then), and downtown was a lot more sane back then. The policing was much more aggressive than it is today, which I think had a large part to do with that.

The greater the degree that the ratio of marginal cost to marginal revenue for the upgrade differs from the ratio of baseline cost to baseline revenue, the more you can call it price discrimination in a loose sense.

This would be typified by upgraded goods having higher margins than baseline goods.

I've always liked Learn you a Haskell, but it's a trip to get through and you may need to re-read it a few times for things to stick.

Another helpful one is Functional Javascript. It showed me a new, better, way to write my JS code.

I found it can be easier on your mind when you pick it up almost like vim. First you learn how to move around with hjkl (perhaps a functional equivalent is using .map() and .filter() instead of for loops), then you navigate by lexical concepts with w, e, $, %, etc (maybe using .zip()), then build macros with @ (currying), etc. Each step you learn and use regularly helps when stretching your brain to pick up more. You definitely don't need to rewrite everything in a functional way to take advantage of it.
But people in other countries would have those jobs available, which is just as good.
I agree with this 100% in theory. However companies have more power over government than any other entity, even the entire population in aggregate. Companies are more political than governments.

The people are ultimately the customers of business and the most effective way to changing political policy is by influencing said business.

Ideally government and business should be like church and state or oil and water but this is not the reality we live in.
Reflecting on C++ projects that I've worked over the years, a lot of inheritance (especially inheritance of implementation) was unnecessary or made the code harder to understand. These issues with inheritance are reflected in the designs of new school language like Rust and Go.
It still carries a lot of weight if the president says something like this. Legal or not. And since it doesn't seem to be legal it is actually worse that the head of a country uses this sort of language.

For certain definitions of “marginally,” I suppose. And keep in mind many of the more complex things manufactured in China are done so from components themselves manufactured in China or elsewhere in east Asia, so either those would also have to be manufactured here, or they’d have to be imported, and we’re back where we started. And so on all the way down to the raw materials.
You are right of course, but in light of defending truly bad decisions, how else do we help our community hold itself responsible for its decisions at work?

But the issue is that most of the sponsored products are absolute trash. The only legitimate one that I can think of is Squarespace (and even then, I’m already aware of them - does that still make me bad if I skip their sponsored segments despite knowing them already?). But the rest are usually dubious VPN services spreading FUD (no, a VPN does fuck all to your privacy if you still browse while being logged into Facebook and Google because they are the main threats, not your ISP) and the low & unsustainable price of their plans suggests they might actually be doing something nefarious. Worse, on Eastern European channels it’s not just VPNs but actual financial scams like binary options and obvious “too good to be true” investments. And last week I saw some fake AirPods being advertised on meme videos.

I disagree with you. Sponsored content can burn in hell.
And if they spoof a number that’s on your contacts list? A false sense of security is not the same thing as security. The solution is action by the network providers.
... unless this practice becomes pervasive, in which case advertisers generally will stop seeing sponsoring this kind of content as worthwhile, and it will no longer be cost-effective to produce it. Your approach depends on most people continuing to view the ads, or at least to be perceived as viewing the ads (doing the "work" to make them cost-effective) while you avoid doing so. It's a classic free-rider problem.
I'm so confused...

We're talking about speaking out on political/social issues at work.

My position is that I'm fine with it (and I think Google should support it to some extent) assuming that it is relevant to the actions of the employer or working conditions.

You bring up the NFL. The exact quote is

>Brings to mind the attitude of "shutup and play ball" when sports athletes try to use their platforms for some aspect of social change or another.

Obviously people are going to assume you're talking about what began with Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the anthem.

I point out how that is different because it does not directly relate to the NFL.

You then bring up three examples of 'protests' (because they're not even protests, they're internal disputes):

>Kenny Stills and Trump donations

Agreed, this is relevant.

>Antonio Brown and helmet guideline policies.

We're talking about helmets now and this is somehow a "social issue" (It's not. Really, it's not.)

>Seattle Seahawks player Michael Bennett, in addition to protesting criminal justice inequalities, directly protested his team and how the league was, at the time, addressing and handling player safety

Those two things have nothing to do with each other. One is relevant, one is not.

Honestly at this point I think you're either confused or a troll.

This is an easy upgrade for any home and can be done by a relatively competent DIYer or an HVAC contractor. The main point is that your attic is much hotter than anywhere in the house, so if you can get the attic close to outside ambient, it will help. I personally have my attic fans (one at either end of the house) set up on a separate thermostat from the rest of the house, where any time the attic temp exceeds 90F, the fans kick on.

Doing this will even make your AC system work better if you have one, since you won’t have the extremely hot air in your attic heating your ceilings
I feel like keeping in mind inheritance and what other classes do and look like is harder than remembering what a method does when chaining them together or currying for example.

The web has so many vectors for exfiltrating data that it seems hard to come up with a js sandbox that is both useful and cannot leak data. Any DOM write access whatsoever allows you to do things like update link targets to include the private data or manipulate the DOM in ways that can be read by unsandboxed script. Even wothout considering timing attacks I'm unconvinced that there's a way forward that involves trying to separate js with permission to read system state from the network.

I live around the corner from the Chick-fil-A just outside the Fulton St station. They have a snaking line inside _and_ a roped off line outside. A line to wait in line, and the outside line often is 40, 50, 60 people plus. I suspect some of those people waited as long as you did end to end, for a chain chicken sandwich in one of the culinary capitals of the world. To someone who hates lines, that's mind boggling!

That's a good point about the rate of the unsafe products, but that is not the same as the rate at which those products are introduced into the population (due to lower prices, etc).

It's not valid to compare the rate of unsafe products on Walmart / Target shelves vs. in the Amazon inventory. Amazon is allowed much more slack (similar to eBay) about what gets sold through their store.

Also, it is much more appropriate for Amazon to do this work, than have the public do it.

Keep up the good work on other fronts!
My biggest concern right now with China trade, aside from their abysmal environmental standards is that they are actively committing ethnic cleansing[1]. It baffles me how little attention this gets.

To the point of exploitation, why not use tariffs as a way to enforce standards AND protect economic interests? Instead of targeting specific countries, it could be a points based system where "Long hours without overtime?" +5%, "Poor safety standards" +10%, and so on. Not to say the US is necessarily perfect here, but as far as I can tell, it's a long way ahead of the typical places it outsources production to. Enforcement might be hard, but any resistance to inspection etc. could be met with automatic application of the suspected tariff.

This seems like it would satisfy the goal of advancing human rights, but also give a more incentive to just hire workers in the developed countries.

I don't like the framing of this premise that you need to "contribute to society" in order to not be exposed to the elements and have a safe place to retreat.

To be honest, I didn't really get the allure until I read "Programming Phoenix." Which isn't really a Functional Programming book. But, it does make clear some of the advantages of functional programming when working in the request/response cycle of your average web app. Picking up the other more abstract concepts had clear value to me after going through it, and so was much easier.
