Used to be like that when I was young

I also know that there's the guy that never writes tests, is incapable of writing non reduntant-code, pushes everything to master as a blob of unrelated changes, using git as the backup server, comments are sparse and mostly useless, code is a mess and 'deploy to production' means starting a Jupiter notebook on the Dev machine.

The same guy saves to the company millions in expenses and gets the promotion.

Because the anti-nuclear mindset is too strong in Germany. We are still affected from the Chernobyl disaster (still can't eat wild boar, still can't eat mushrooms from certain areas). The nuclear waste problem is also not solved and extremely expensive. Then there is politics: Nuclear plants lifetime was extended, then Fukushima happened and "overnight" lots of old plants were shut down.

Germany is at 14% nuclear, 30% coal (even though all national coal mines have closed), 10% gas, 46% renewable (wind, solar, bio-gas, water, all without proper energy storage)
Thanks I will try that immediately
Dhall is awesome and rooted in the solid ML line. I wish pure functional programming langs were significantly growing in the industry. It would show signs of maturity but it is still currently a high-hanging fruit for many and traction is diluted in the impression of hobbyism or academism.
What can we bring for those dealing with YAML everyday? Hard to tell them "switch all your stuff to X". Easier to tell them "you can iteratively add functional expressions to your YAML". That's the point of Yglu. It's not about proposing a better Dhall or Jsonnet. It is about proposing better YAML-native tooling.

Beyond the hill: thoughts on forecasting, stories, and essay-completeness
If you don't know how many commits it will be before you start, no, it is not a TODO list. I've never worked with such perfect knowledge. Usually, there's a high level understanding of what it takes to deliver a feature, which allows for the creation of a coarse TODO list that works for tracking progress & coordination. And then there's the devil, in the details. One commit is not one feature, and there are too many details for an a priori list of all the commits you're going to make. And very often you end up doing a bit of opportunistic refactoring & cleanups & little fixes to related code when fitting the new stuff in.

Even very small and simple features can end up being anywhere from 1 to 15 commits.
Daily coffee comes with addiction (light), so even if you are used to the 5$coffee every day, you surely won't give it up for one day. It would be one uncomfortable day of crawing your coffee.
Company A treats its customers with respect, lets them maximise the return on their investment by giving them all the details and helping them keep the instrument going as long as possible.

Company B releases a product that works pretty much as well as Company A's but is cheaper (because it isn't investing in the aftersales support). Since support is an expensive business, by cutting it Company B makes more profit.

In the long run, Company B wins. Quite a few companies are smart enough to see how this works, and so morph from being an A type company to being a B. Evolution in action, the fitter (most profitable) company survives (shame about the prey..ah, "clients").
Yes that’s absolutely true, they do take advantage of international tax rules, but the insinuation that they pay almost no or very low overall corporate taxes is not true. I doubt the OP I was replying to expected the answer to be 24.6% of corporate income. I’ve got no objection to claims that’s too low, it’s a legitimate question, but let’s at least discuss this from an informed position.
Never mind, there is no real content in the text just empty phrases.
The University of Chicago propagandized about free markets, but we see what was really going on in the modern economy:

Cartels and Monopolies. Everywhere. Almost all sectors are down to a 1-4 dominant companies that simply entrench themselves with regulatory protections and rent seek for revenue generation.

Even seemingly pure free market commodity markets like frozen concentrated orange juice have shadow cartels like ADM and Cargill, and billions of government assistance and price manipulation.
This is just like releasing an un-weaponized buffer overflow.

It's now up to someone else to see where they can push it.

Create a app that connects everyone's phones and spoofs GPS(Not sure this is technically easy) as a group.... What can you do?

Create secret clubs of commuters? Draw a penis on Google maps?

Fake data during viral outbreaks to maximise peoples exposures by making them all use the same overloaded car park at a hospital? Move cars into locations were there are riots?

Google Maps data was used by researchers during the protests in Tehran. I'm sure the three letter agencies use it as well.
So they are doing the right thing for wrong, selfish reasons because they are misinformed.
I actually don't disagree with you. But I'm of the opinion that the authoritarian nature of the Chinese central government is both a blessing and a curse. As you've correctly pointed out, central authoritarian governments seem to end up with local administrations that are fairly incompetent and corrupt as their measure of success if not in good local governance, but by pleasing the central authority. On the flip side, when the proverbial "Eye of Sauron" of a central government decides to do something without reservation, this style of governance can get a lot of stuff done very quickly.

Ultimately the problem for these series of epidemics is the poor conditions and practices of many Chinese citizens that results in unsanitary conditions, especially around food animals. It's easy to look at China as a whole, take a point sampling for a given location and time, and come to a negative evaluation of the entire place. What's harder to do is to recognize that in absolute terms, China today is in much better shape than it was before the '78 reforms. China today is in much better shape than it was before 2000!

The structural problem within China, with respect to how local governing happens, is most certainly a problem. However, I think it's very easy to lob complaints across the Ocean when the West is certainly not in a present state of good order at the moment.
>WHAT is going to cause the crash?

A black swan, like coronavirus shutting down China.

>Which industry has a fundamental imbalance?

Consumer debt and financial services.

How has our economic output been growing without much inflation or wage growth? How did we sell 17 million vehicles domestically last year when the average American has less than $1k in the bank? How are people buying phones for $600-700 every two years?

Debt. Lots of it. And what's going to happen when consumer prices get driven up? Are people going to make their payments?

I don't know, but it doesn't look great.
Can you elaborate a little on this? Investments having a negative return does not mean the market (reference) interest rate is negative.

Take the gold standard, do you think anyone was able to borrow gold and pay less back? Isn’t that the actual interest rate we are discussing here?

Can sensory cortex do backpropagation? – Geoffry Hinton (2016) [video]
Sort of a 'make on demand' model. It might work. These days it is hard to find parts that don't get end-of-lifed after 5 years, so you're re-doing schematics and thus your instrument's PCB. You could perhaps make a modular structure such that the instrument was constructed from modules but I'm not sure how well that would work.

The open source trend is to put the instrument in its box and connect via USB to a computer that provides the UX. That works but has the issue of computer operating system compatibility. I've got a USB scope in my junk drawer that has a UI that only works on Windows 98. Not too useful these days, and the company is out of business.

The instrument control protocol standards help here.
One needs to look at this on a seasonal basis. Typically they inject a large amount of cash before the Chinese new year and start draining it afterwards. So the effect is larger than the net amount though maybe less than the gross number.
I think it is a lesser driver if anything but can help some. If the current demand can be met then there is less of a need to develop anything new. Why farm if there is an abundance of fruit essentially. But if demand grows there is more reason to try something new instead of waiting for the existing to wear out completely.

Previously population growth was essentially a prerequisite for specialization in order to but well that has been broken for a while now.

Education, research funding, trade, cross pollination of ideas and similiar would have more of an influence but population growty does drive some.
I don't know, I've never played doom when I was a kid, and every time I try to get into it I just get bored after few levels. On the other hand, I'm happy to play Doom 2016 a lot and have completed it multiple times. I suspect certain games just don't age very well, even though I can totally see why it was as revolutionary as it was when it came out(if you haven't read "Master's of Doom" yet, you absolutely have to).
Yeah, but currently everyone seems to focus just on those few customers who like subscriptions. Nobody caters to the guys who don't like subscriptions. (Or maybe just nobody blogs about it)
We need to buy coal and gas also. Closed down all the coal mines, and coal is the only resource Germany has in its territory. We are very dependent at the moment.

>I bet your script isn’t as nice as an Ansible setup, nor as maintainable. Ansible’s templating engine is super flexible.

Ansible uses jinja2, and so do I. I obviously can't form an objective opinion on the "niceness", having developed it. But I'll say that my setup puts which files are on which hosts front and center, whereas it seems like Ansible would want that splayed out into a directory tree of "roles" (of which I'd have about 25). With my setup, I've got that in 200 lines of python including host/group definitions (excluding comments), with the actual config files living in one analogous tree (eg conf/etc/network/interfaces).

Half the reason I threw my comment out there was to see what bounced back, as I am currently working on this system. One of the responses was about error checking, which resonated. So I've since given Ansible another shot, for managing the top-level (calling my templater for each host, apt upgrade, etc). I think I do like it for this, now that it's much closer to its sweet spot of doing similar things to every host.

Speaking of shady SEO leeches, "Block pop-up windows" was a dominant preference. In my browser TenFourFox (Firefox), this "off by default" preference has moved to about:preferences > Content > Block pop-up windows. But, it doesn't matter because JavaScript has brought back the annoying popup. At least, popups are constrained within the browser window. uBlock Origin and uMatrix help to the point where some/many "modern" web pages render as a blank page.
I knew what "keuf" meant, but never how it got constructed. I learned the word because of an MC Solaar lyric... "Qui vole un oeuf, vole un boeuf. Qui viole une meuf se fait serrer par les keufs."

"meuf" was obvious to me but "keuf" never was.

So thank you! You've answered something I was wondering about for more than 20 years now.
I'm surely not claiming that BBC ("British Broadcasting Corporation", "a British public service broadcaster") doesn't own its content. I'm claiming they are providing their content exclusively to Facebook, a US-based advertising company, helping the said company to earn its profit from that content.

In this specific case I as a potential viewer of that content can't visit BBC's site to watch the same content, I have to watch it on Facebook, if I want to watch it at all. And I've searched for the specific video on BBC's site.

But BBC's mission isn't to make Facebook earning more money by exclusively providing to the Facebook BBC's content, helping Facebook earning more money from the internet ads tracking their viewers, and moreover, it's not why BBC is publicly funded, and why it collected its fees to produce the content: note again what I've already quoted: the "annual television licence fee which is charged to all British households, companies, and organisations" "is set by the British Government, agreed by Parliament,[14] and used to fund the BBC's radio, TV, and online services."

And it's not that BBC doesn't have its own web site.
Binary dependencies are quite common in Windows products.

Taleb makes the argument this should actually be obvious. Old ideas have survived over time, which suggests they are good enough to be passed down from generation to generation. New ideas are a complete crapshoot, and you have to do a lot more work to figure out if they're worth a damn.

Prices of houses may be high but affordability is not because of cheap financing. Payments could have been made lower with easier money and even cheaper financing. Asset prices are bounded by the cost of producing new houses and also, high house prices create good jobs for house builders.

Killing one person is not as bad as killing one hundred people. Saying "both countries did something horrific" is denying your ability to draw distinctions between things which is the same thing as denying your ability to think. I don't know why you would voluntarily give up your ability to think.

> How about how many wars the Americans started? How many people killed, left without homes? How about the fact that Americans bombed the Japanese? Why can't people accept that bad is bad no matter who does it or how many times they do it.

No one is arguing that Americans never do anything wrong.

> I'm not defending the USSR, Europe or US. I'm saying all are bad and all of them have done horrifying things, the only thing we can do is to hope that we can become better. And this can only be done if we stop saying "oh but he did it worse/first, mom" but understand that we need to do better.

Saying that all countries have done horrifying things is facile. The idea that, in order to "do better," we have to first convince ourselves that killing millions of people by forced labor is the same as kidnapping 3000 people and torturing them is bizarre. It's all-or-nothing nonsense. The fact that no country is perfect does not mean that no country is better than any other country.

This argument didn't start because someone said "rendition was okay because the gulags were worse". It started because you objected to the statement that the USSR was much worse than the US.
I think my response to all of that is "Who cares?". It's a totally fine and reasonable UI change and it's incredibly unreasonable to think "Ah, this minor UI change might lead to a buffer overflow because we code like it's 98".
Funny that "Verlan" is itself the verlan slang for "à l'envers", which means reversed.

Ask HN: When does YC contact references during application?
Wondering at what stage YC will contact current employers about a reference check during the application.

1) Is it when they are evaluating the initial application submitted online?

2) Is it after the application is accept and before the interview stage?

3) Does YC respond to requests not to ask for reference checks? Worried about putting my part-time employment at risk during the process.

Thank you,

Most people can afford a thing for price x easily. Had they never balked at price x, they would pay 20 times x and that is entirely different number.

Meaning, it is not just about comparing value of goods. It is much more about keeping strategy that is easy to remember and execute, but allows you to keep savings.

If US or China stock market was to go down, govt will immediately infuse such massive cash that things would be back up in no time. I'm wondering this is why there had been no recession past the entire decade and very likely none ahead. Somehow we have arrived at economic prosperity level where enough wealth is "buffered" to smooth out downturns.
Two different questions. You're talking about whether the app must get the user's approval. The question here (in this part of the thread) is whether the app must subscribe to all events and filter them itself or if it can instead subscribe to a filtered version of events.
The OP's criticism was directed at the CCP, not the nationals of the PRC. You can dislike a government without having a negative opinion of its people.
Did XHTML ever allow styling with XPath, or is it just used for jQuery-style element selection? My uneducated impression was that for performance reasons browser devs were rejecting even more restricted backwards-lookup and nesting selectors for styling.

I've encountered some uses of XPath to validate the semantics of XML data models (this kind of thing still has mindshare in some places - network devices for instance https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7950#section-7.21.5 ) and I've come to the conclusion that wanting XPath is usually a danger sign. It's helpful for manipulating content you can't control, but that leads to people designing interfaces and models that are too difficult to work with downstream. In document display settings that manifests as a content vs. presentation mentality where you have to write byzantine queries to wrestle data into reasonable output. In configuration use cases I've seen it lead to interfaces that claim way more general edit operations than the implementation can actually pull off, as people struggle to specify XPath-based constraints to make it tractable. It's much better if at all possible to have some kind of scripted layer to do transformations than to try to manipulate a general presentable-cum-semantic data tree.

On the XHTML vs HTML5 side, React at least does a good job warning you if you're trying to render something that violates DOM nesting (out of necessity as much as anything, since it will need to operate on the generated tree).
It's way more expensive than coal, wind or solar. And since the German government doesn't seem to subsidize anything except coal, nuclear has no chance.
