So what? Even if they did know, this is retarded.

As soon as you know someone is "ex-communicated" from society you must go out of your way to never ever possibly see or interact with them forever for life?

Get real. I'm not turning around to go home every time I see an "ex-communicated" individual.

Who keeps track of this list of individuals, where do I go to get an updated list so I can immediately vacate when one arrives? What happens if someone is added to the list after I have met them?? Am I on the list by association??

This is bonkers.
Pass/Fail. I think you're overestimating how difficult the test should be. I think it should be easy enough for almost anyone with a high school diploma to pass it.
I had to look it up, but Stripe got Y Combinator funding, so that's likely it. I was also confused about why it comes up so often here.

None of the iPads have any splash, water, or dust resistance rating. Only iPhone 7 and later, and the Apple Watch have ratings:

You should definitely put any iPad in a case if you need water resistance.
Oh, Four Loko... Honestly, a similar-tasting drink could probably be made by mixing Arizona, Red Bull, and Vodka/Gin together.

The ban still seems silly and reactionary. I think part of the reason various states' AGs got up in arms about Four Loko was the brand image of it being a "low-class, college drink". If there was an upscale-looking Irish Coffee alcoholic drink in a glass bottle like a Starbucks coffee hit the shelves in stores, would that also get banned if college students happen to like coffee and alcohol?
Interesting. I imagine most Ada jobs (gov and non-gov) would have similar requirements to embedded jobs?

The second-generation Pencil only charges by attaching magnetically to the flat side of an iPad Pro. It has no ports or any way to plug it in to charge otherwise. Only the iPad Pro has the physical design to accommodate it.

Besides a couple of DDJ articles, I never saw it anywhere.

Even the famous Steve Jobs presentation I only got to be aware of it years later when someone uploaded the VHS recordings to YouTube.

Even those Cube workstations at the university seemed like pure luck having someone signing off their purchase.

Which they repented afterwards and got students like myself to port their 3D research to Windows as part of our graduation thesis.
Decoupling the certification elements from the education elements would probably help. Have a third party, possibly a government entity, allow anyone to be assessed for competency in a particular field and receive a certificate showing their skill level. If they think taking some college classes is a good way to improve their abilities they can do that, if they think self-study is the best way they can do that, if they think hiring a tutor is the best way they can do that. They shouldn't be forced into one particular expensive and time consuming path just to get the opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities.

Elite schools don't need tuition revenue, they get enough from donors they could give everyone free tuition no problem. It's about prestige.

Not sure who needs it the most, but many studies show large percentages of graduate students are mentally distressed. It could help there. I was just giving an example of how to quantify how much it helps.
This is objectively wrong. The top-of-the-charts schools almost universally offer need-blind admission and great financial aid. A number of my acquaintances (middle and lower-middle class economically) graduated from Harvard, Princeton, or Yale without any loans and without paying more than $5000.

On the other hand, being rich means you can provide better K12 education to your children, which makes it easier for them to get accepted in elite universities.
Capital doesn't run things around here, managers do. Think about that.

Actually they can't select their student body however they want. When private institutions accept public funding then they are legally required to play by certain rules. That's why Asian applicants who feel they were unfairly discriminated against have grounds to sue.

Some colleges — particularly religious schools — forego all government funding as a matter of principle. This gives them almost complete freedom of action in setting their admission policies.
Seems best
The situation remains the same: Jargon file is bad.
we're not talking about a random sex offender, he blackmailed people, and he associated with our tech leaders. so he potentially blackmailed same tech leaders.

this is a different observation than some random non-blackmailing sex offender sitting 2 spots away in the bus.

When Epstein was in prison, Alfredo Rodriguez tried selling Epstein's black book for $50k. Until he was arrested for obstruction of justice. The government had a list of all the victims (and in all likelihood the clients / targets).

https://vault.fbi.gov/alfredo-rodriguez/Alfredo%20Rodriguez%...

speaking of character assassination, remember when Musk was calling one of the cave divers a pedophile? (he saving kids stuck in a cave, and provided feedback that Musk's device was useless)

why wine and dine with Epstein, but then call a cave diver who actually saves children a pedophile?

why did Musk dare insinuate the diver was a pedophile, but did he not dare or care to say the same about Epstein?

this Epstein creep was really intelligent in his blackmail targets: he seems to have focused on people with stable positions of power like tech leaders (also business, academia?), as opposed to politicial leaders or party affiliated people as dumber blackmailers usually try: blackmailing partisan people is guaranteed to backfire sooner or later since roles switch by election every term or two.

I tend to disagree: strong typing is very valuable in the hardware design space - it's just that you couldn't convince hardware devs of this. If they had exposure to a programming language it was C (and possibly some assembly language) so they wanted something closer to what they were familiar with.

When I worked in EDA I was given a project to get rid of linting errors in our generated HDL code. We generated both VHDL and Verilog. Our generated VHDL had very few problems thanks to strong typing. But there were lots of problems to fix in the Verilog code caused by it's weak typing.

Ask HN: How to manage long running scripts?
Is there a tool that allows me to manage a handful of bash and python scripts that I have running in a better manner? I was hoping for a GUI I could have my non-technical teammates check to see the status or output of a script rather than SSHing into a server and finding the output file.

For example: I have a script that curls icanhazip.com to check if the dynamic DNS IP we get has changed and then writes the time and IP to a simple text file. Ideally I would like the management site to show the contents of the text file and maybe read cron to see when it will run next.

Is there anything like this out there? My usual google-fu is failing me, thanks HN.
Did you miss the "meetings" part? Even if you enjoy burning the candle, you should be mindful of what you ask others to do.
I also second the other, "I don't.", responses below. At some point along the way I started really thinking about what I was doing. I also realized that the "rat race" in software engineering is the constant need to "keep up" with the latest technical trends.

At that point I had to start looking elsewhere for a sense of engagement. I ended up finding fulfillment in discovering where I could provide the most value to a company and then focusing on that. 9 times out of 10 it had nothing to do with technology.

These days, if I want to enjoy learning about technology I sit down and read some of Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming".
Why do you say it would primarily affect lower income people? You mean because the cigarette smoker user base skews low income? I guess it affects them in the sense that some pay more, but many others quit something that is harmful which "helps" them (but of course net negative if you value personal will higher than the health cost and believe that people who smoke are entirely rational)

But agreed, in light of the current evidence that vaping seems to be better than cigarettes the tax should be lower, ideally pushing people who smoke to switch to vapes as an alternative

These two statements seem somewhat contradictory.
Motivation is usually a product of mental health. Mental health is a product of a variety of things like work-life-balance, good sleep, healthy diet, physical exercise, and measured progression towards realistic goals. Optimize and improve on those, and you'll have more motivation and mental energy overall.

Since full time work rarely makes good use of focused mental resources, you might be lucky if you have a couple hours in the evening to work on personal projects. For weekends my experience was I needed Saturday to recover - it's hard to focus on a screen and sit in a chair. But by Sunday I can devote focus into personal projects. Still not very many hours to use. It helps to have no social life and family responsibilities, but I'd rather have those than more programming time.

Overall it's hard to have enough motivation and mental energy while working 8 hours a day, but you can optimize for health and get some more utility out of your free time.
But you control that by setting expectations, like driver must take a reasonably direct route after accepting request or arrive within a reasonable time. It is up to the driver then to decide if new request is on the route or postpone accepting until first commission is handled (somebody else might pick up that ride then).

I'm sure the devil is in detail though and we might end up with drivers occupied by route juggling when they should focus on safely driving...
HTTPS still reveals the domain you've requested, which is an important piece of information to keep private. In the absence of encrypted DNS I'll take the VPN knowing my domain history instead.
The other, much bigger part, is addiction. Otherwise, why aren't nicotine-free vape mixes front and center? Manufacturers are pushing higher and higher amounts of nicotine to keep people hooked after the fonzie factor wears off.
I wish Apple would make their watch work with Android phones, similar to how they made iPods work with Windows computers way back when.
Are you getting in a pissing contest about how many shitty things the US Government has done? Because, let me tell you, that is a contest you are going to lose.

Only on HackerNews can a somber discussion about family and lifelong priorities turn into dunking on javascript. Not a jab by any means, just amusing.
I think that what is lost is that Javascript is more of a functional language than an object-oriented one and a move to hooks embraces its functional roots while eliminating numerous footguns (this), simplifying reuse, and reducing redundancy.

I've developed a set of "strongly typed" classes in C++ that have saved me a ton of grief.

Here are some examples. All classes are fundamentally floats. Errors are caught at compilation.

cInches i1, i2, i3;
cCm cm1, cm2;

i1 = 1.f; // error
i1 = cInches(1.f); // OK
i3 = i1 + i2; // OK
cm1 = i1; // error
i1 = i2 * 2.f; // OK
float f1 = i1 / i2; // OK
i1 = i2 * i3; // error! square inches are not inches

int add(cInches in1, cInches in2);
add(i1, i2); // OK
add(cm1, cm2); // error

'Typedef's just don't cut it.
Yes but Rails is still optimized for REST CRUD apps. It's great at those apps. I use it to develop those kinds of apps. But when you want something super reactive and customized and interactive and dynamic and real-time, I reach for Node.

Imagine you just came into enough money that you never have to work again.

What would you work on, then?

What is something that you can do that no one else can?

What can you do to help make the world more harmonious?

How can you help humans, animals, plants, machines, and the planet as a whole?

Think about these questions, and then do that.

Ignore money.
A watch where the time is always visible. Hard to believe we have such tech in 2019.
It might be an accounting deal to avoid paying higher taxes?
As someone who's young, childless, and just getting started in the tech industry at a big company: thank you.
Except that at least some of the uber drivers that I've seen most definitely do this as a side job (ie they have another primary job that has a lot of off days/variable schedule and as a side job they Uber to make some extra money). If the proposed laws allow for this kind of use case then fine.

Not to mention that almost all Uber drivers I've seen have both Uber and Lyft signs in their windows so obviously they work with both. That's a good thing, gives them more choices and helps keep those companies honest and even if you argue that in practice Uber/Lyft don't seem to provide drivers the benefits of such competition (they may be colluding) then I ask you, isn't the solution to that to promote more competition? So be very careful with enacting laws if you want to create real competition to help the drivers.
We live in a disposable world now, that extends to both employees and corporations/employers. Everything's far more ephemeral than it used to be.

I think that's a bit oversimplified, a lot of really cool projects are simply inaccessible for one reason or another. While there's cool stuff out there, the vast majority available to your average person seems to be the boring stuff
Yeah, namely Amazon.
I hope this is a solid study and not just wishful thinking. I've been looking at pricing, and right now, fracked gas plants are running around $40/mwh, with wind at under $50/mwh and PV solar (no battery storage) at around $60/mwh. Coal and traditional nuclear are running around $100/mwh (these are all rounded numbers from memory, don't get unhelpfully pedantic!).

These numbers are obliterating both coal and nuclear. Coal plants are shutting down as fast as replacements can be built, and nuclear plants are shutting down a decade or more before official end-of-life, because they're losing major customers to cheaper alternatives that are available right now.

The cost of PV solar has dropped over 80% in the past decade, and wind like 50%, due to engineering improvements in operation and economies of scale in manufacturing. But it's a reasonable question how much farther their prices will drop. It seems unlikely to me that we'll see another decade of such radical price drops.

Gas, on the other hand, is vulnerable to markets and availability. How long will it stay so cheap? And what happens if a politically progressive government gets serious about carbon taxing? On the other hand, it's a lot cheaper up-front to build a gas plant, and a lot less painful if it closes early.
It doesn't matter if they buy during or shortly after an IPO, the fact of the matter is that there's some value there just by virtue of being listed because you will most definitely get institutional investors based on that fact alone. Institutional investors set the market, everyone else is playing the spread.

Can you give me an example of a company that IPO'd profitless and the largest shareholders aren't institutional investors that do broad-index-based purchases?
Starting at a community college and going to a mid-tier in-state school works quite well for a comparatively huge number of people. I'm in Michigan and went to UM-A2, but I know lots of people in the auto industry that went to UM-Dearborn (good pipeline to Auto) and lots of people who went to MSU and Central Michigan. Weirdly (/s), they make the same money as the also relatively large number of engineers from MIT. You don't have to go to a good school to maintain a middle class lifestyle in engineering.
It looks like they dropped the stainless steel case. Too bad, that was always my favorite.
it is the same reason we have the opioid mess, nice sounding but stupid policy decisions; namely beating on doctors correctly prescribing pain killers to those who needed them to the point they no longer did.

like the current bugaboo over vaping causing deaths the CDC crows about yet statistics show its not legal over the counter products.

sensationalism sells papers and gets votes. exploiting ignorance with something that sounds truthful if not plausible has always been the game. when all else fails, "for the children" is the go to.

I know it's against the rules to post inflammatory stuff and i want to be civil, but @dang, do you really feel ok representing a community where the prevailing opinion seems to be it's no big deal to have dealings with a known child sex trafficker, it's just societal shaming, etc? It's so disappointing that this is apparently how the minds work for prominent voices on this hub for the tech community.
> - Easy to implement the language specification. All features should be easy to understand.

I'm not sure this is at all applicable to rust. Perhaps once there are more than the one, quickly mutating, implementation, we can say that it's easy to implement the specification.

> - Reliability. The language should aid the design and development of reliable programs.

This one feels a touch questionable, given the built-in "succeed or die" macros that simplify code at the cost of reliability. There's also the unsafe keyword, and how the impact of an unsafe operation in one section of code (say, an imported library) can have negative impacts on unrelated sections of code otherwise deemed safe.

> - No unnecessary complexity. Semantic structure should be consistent and minimize the number of concepts.

Borrow checker aside, there is a ton of complexity in Rust (traits, multiple flavors of arrays, multiple flavors of boxed values).

> - Machine independence. The language shall not be bound to any hardware or OS details.

Rust relies on the LLVM project to provide this, and relies on the contributors to the LLVM project to target different architectures.
I'm pretty sure actually, uniformly enforcing all of the currently existing labor laws would 'inadvertently deepen abject poverty' too. There are a lot of people working black or gray market jobs (i.e. workers for whom the 'employment' relationship is itself illegal, at least in some aspects) already.

There are tens of millions of people in the U.S. that are not legally permitted to reside here, let alone work. Are you also in favor of actually enforcing those laws and either preventing them from working or deporting them?

> It's almost as though...we as a society continually assess whether the harm from some activity exceeds benefit, and react accordingly?

I do not think that U.S. society, or any country really, could be even approximately described like this, accurately. As just one example, minimum wage laws were originally introduced to prevent minorities (e.g. black people) from undercutting the wages of ethnic-majority workers (i.e. 'white' people). As another, a large number of U.S. states require certification or licensing for people to cut or style other's hair. I am extremely skeptical that such laws or regulations were enacted because a fair cost-benefit analysis implied that such were reasonable.
