Nice to see JavaFX app - best cross platform technology out there that is not very popular.
Very wild guess: they did test it and maybe even stress tested it... with the phones they had in their office. Out in the field people were using different phones with various versions of the mobile OS.

Not sure if this is an Android or iOS app but either way, it's possible there was something quirky in the implementation that didn't show up on the test phones or simulator. They may have even made a poor assumption such as there always being a network connection. That would be the case in their office but not guaranteed out in rural areas especially in rural areas with a sudden convergence of lots of people with cell phones in a confined space that doesn't usually have that much device density.

Highly competent is not a word heard that often about the failed 2016 Clinton campaign, especially not from people who realize that she lost under the exact same rules that was in place when Obama won.

What the involved people are is highly connected which is rarely the same as competent as demonstrated by the antics of the current crop of in office politicians, and it's a huge part of the reason why crazy outsiders like Trump have a base at all.

The stupid idea that people who's only achievement is climbing the rungs of an failed organization is super cometent and whose ultimate failure could only have been due to nefarious actions of supernaturally competent foreign enemies is silly and seen as such by an huge sway of the actual public as the kind of nonsense you would expect from North Korea or Russia.
True, one should always avoid the word "always". But given that the world just saw a Senate trial of a nations highest ranking member occur with no witness and no evidence allowed, the claim remains pretty strong.
Hackworth | R&D software developer | Onsite | London | https://www.hackworthltd.uk/

Hackworth Ltd is a well-financed, bootstrapped, private limited company based in London. We're hiring a full time R&D Haskell developer in London. This is an on-site role, at our office in Shoreditch.

Our purpose is to make programming relevant to the interests of children of all backgrounds. Our first step toward that goal is to develop programming languages and tools that are designed for learning about computation. We're currently in research mode, so this will be a fun, low-pressure, educational experience for the first 9-12 months. Prepare to do lots of prototyping and learning.

You should have at least 2 years' experience programming in Haskell for industry or research, and you must be eligible to work in the UK.

For more about this particular role, please see the posting at https://www.hackworthltd.uk/jobs/20200204/

Hope to hear from you! If you have any questions, email careers@hackworthltd.com and it'll come directly to me.
> If I describe to you exactly how you might go about murdering someone, and they get murdered, I'm likely to be a suspect, and if you're charged, I'll be charged as an accessory.

IANAL, but this doesn't sound quite right. I think they need to be able to show mens rea on your part, that is, that you actually believed the person might commit murder and deliberately helped them.

if you agree with my nitpick, then all of your examples show a clear intention to incite others to do specific material harm.

on the other hand, if someone says "X group doesn't deserve to live", it's hard to say whether they are deliberately inciting violence. if X is saints fans, you might reasonably assume the person is joking. if X is a marginalized group, it's still hard to say whether it's an incitement of violence or a gross opinion that lacks actual intent to incite violence. if it were easy to show that it was a deliberate incitement of violence, then it would already be illegal under current laws.
If you're going to reference the rules, you might put more effort into articulating the nuances rather than stating it as an absolute, as what you stated is clearly false.
What Cereal Do Porn Stars Like Best?
I think this is why the usual advice is usually 'learn a few dishes you like', not 'cook something new every day'. Once you have a few recipes nailed, you don't need to spend time planning etc, and you can work out a pattern whereby you know exactly what to buy each time you go to the store (which you'd be doing anyway) without needing to think. And for washing/cleaning up, there are dishwashers.
You are what you eat.

Checking the original code on the playground, Go just reindents everything using one tab per level. So if the funcall is indented by 2 (tabs), the line-broken arguments are indented by 3 (not aligned with the open paren).

rustfmt looks to try and be "smarter" as it will move the argslist and add linebreaks to it go not go beyond whatever limit is configured on the playground, gofmt apparently doesn't insert breaks in arglists.
> where those who frequently cook almost can't tolerate food cooked by others.

I suspect this is because people have a small repertoire of food which is largely designed specifically for their palette. I know that I have a very strong preference for the way I cook foods. But I also can't handle certain foods, notably olives, mushrooms, and raw tomatoes.

> Further on the food front, people who cook seem to be more heavily affected by fasting, or less willing to tolerate it.

This has not been my experience, but N=1 because I'm the only person I know who regularly fasts. I'm fine cooking for others while fasting too.
You think Bezos was running the desktop/Electron app on his phone?
Bottom line is that the quality of the app used in an election that could decide the president for the next 8 years was left up to high school level coding from an untested, uncontested company, with "software developers" with little to no credentials.

> Organizers of the local meetings were supposed to use the app created by startup Shadow to report results from Iowa’s unusual voting system. In the caucuses, people wishing to support a candidate must be physically present at a meeting, where they stand in groups and wait to be counted.

> To make that process more efficient, the Iowa Democratic Party gave local managers the Shadow app to input results. But results were delayed and backup measures — such as calling a hotline — also failed, according to the New York Times.

From the article, I definitely read that as the app is the way that results were reported. I also read it as the phone and paper ballots were the backup systems.

The app absolutely is involved in voting, even if it's not the most authoritative resource, nor should it be. This was discussed last year (for example) in: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2019/0...

> What's the vendor they used for the phone reporting system?

Dunno, we should find out, and then find out why that wasn't correctly implemented either. Who's brilliant idea was it to accept election results over the same line which served the helpdesk?

> Are you upset that you don't know the names of the employees who run that phone hotline system?

Yes, you should be too.
Wouldn't this be a total shoe-in for an audio-based interface? Probably I don't quite understand your requirements - I'm imagining you want alerts for when you're within your pace/heartrate targets, and for when you reach specific distance targets or intervals.

> if I understand correctly then Fossil's migration is straightforward because they did not address the same issues Git chose to.

I think more is at play here.

(1) You can set Fossil to ignore all SHA1 artifacts using the "shun-sha1" hash policy.

(2) The excess complication in the Git migration strategy is likely due to the inability of the underlying Git file formats to handle two different hash algorithms in the same repository at the same time.

But, I could be wrong. Post a rebuttal if you have evidence to the contrary.

Most direct human to human relationships don't come with a 40 page privacy policy and terms of use that they reserve the right to change on a dime. A rational stance is not to trust anyone that requires you to agree to a bunch of legalese without having a lawyer review it first.

Interesting comment, as 2 of the main Go creators (Ken Thompson and Rob Pike) did work at the Bell Labs. So while I doubt they tried to write Java, Go in a sense was written by the Bell Labs :).

(And Kernighan was their floor-mate too, that must have been a stunningly great environment)
I can grasp the concepts just fine. Being local helps immensely. The disparities are correspondingly immense. More so when you consider the high unemployment rates in developing countries.

Also there needs to be sufficient talent available across all roles needed, to completely move the company to a new location. As opposed to just a lot at the low end of skills. The cost and other downsides of that move would also be immense.

Perhaps one day remote work will be far more common, and I think this would be a good thing, by the way. I also think brain drain is bad overall. Developing countries need those productive residents far more than the west does.
Constant chat in our head, keeps us away from reality. Try not think for few seconds and see how you become aware about surroundings. Only intense moments shook us from this chit-chat.

> doesn't that mean that one can also willingly make a SHA1 hash that matches with the prefix of an existing SHA256 hash?

No, the “prefix of an existing SHA256 hash” stops being relevant at that point – that’s just a full preimage attack on SHA1. Isn’t known to be feasible yet.

> I was hoping I captured that by saying "very rarely"

It’s rarer than that. :)
There are some cases where more weird is better. I have a relative who dresses very oddly. She is praised as a fashionista and trend setter, and has a sizable following on IG. But for me, it's like the Emperor's New Clothes.

I cannot discern any particular design ethos aside from: the brighter/louder/more garish, the better. For whatever reason, being super weird works for her, and I assume if she were less weird in this regard she would be less interesting to her followers.
> It was clear to everyone it was BS.

That’s what a lot of republicans have been saying about climate change for decades. Sensible people don’t act based on “everyone knows” especially not when tasked with actually digging out facts.

Even worse. A week long task without internal context or being able to chat with people who know it would be next to impossible to prepare. I've seen some projects which were thoroughly specced and handed over to a consulting agency. Half were not usable, the other half need heavy fixing. It was never a happy outcome.

I've recently tried to get back into tracking and I've found OpenMPT to be one of the worst modern trackers. Yes, it adds lots of modern features but its very poorly documented, there are barely any tutorials and what few do exist are more focused on "drawing" samples than actually using the program to make music. I also dislike that I can't quickly go through my samples directory and try a melody on each sample like I could with the trackers of yore.

So far, Schism Tracker is more usable I've found, but it feels like running Impulse Tracker in DOSBox, which, granted, it not necessarily a bad thing.

In the end, I may just suck it up and pay for Renoise.

* some pet supplies

I'm pretty sure zero of these businesses let me pay in bitcoin.

Finding out if that does resolve the author's issue would be interesting but I'm not sure that that would be particularly supportive data in favor of Go. If anything it would reinforce the downsides of Go's GC implementation: prone sudden pitfalls only avoidable with obtuse, error-prone fiddling that makes the code more complex.

After spending weeks fighting with Java's GC tuning for a similar production service tail latency problem, I wouldn't want to be caught having to do that again.
I use the weirdness relativity principle to my advantage:

Almost everything that comes out of my mouth/fingers is weird. Usually radically weird.

When I say something that is less weird than my usual utterances, people sit up and listen, because I’ve moved their weirdness window so far off into the wilds that my merely abnormal ideas sound positively sane.
I actually agree that there are many parts of Rust's ecosystem that are relatively immature — I just don't see how the Actix situation reflects on that. It's not like Actix was a core part of the Rust ecosystem. It was a framework that was most notable for doing very well on the Techempower benchmarks. People get hurt feelings and have flameouts in the C, Java, JavaScript, etc. ecosystems too.
Great advice. Waking up early at the same time every day even the weekend does wonders.
I consider HP-28S a work of art. The programming language can be described as an effective mixture of Forth, Lisp and even APL and J. The memory was also very efficiently used, the HP-28S had whole 32K! (not a little for that time).

And all that with 4-bit CPU (!) which worked for a very long time on very small batteries.

I have bigger issues with caucuses in general and in Iowa specifically disenfranchising people from being able to vote at all, but that doesn't excuse that this was also terribly implemented.
I think it's quite easy to understand how planes fly. I figured out this as a kid when I pushed my hand out of a car window and tilted it at different angles. This way you can feel the pressure differential and the how the air pushes the hand upwards or downwards.
Long GC pauses caused by large collections/caches are decade long problem with no real wide spread solution so far. With Java and .NET you can resort to off-heap data. Not sure if this is possible with Go.

Just signed up and been testing your service. Overall: it's excellent!

I prefer your server based approach over listing aliases in DNS TXT records. It's a slightly disconcerting feeling to list a private/personal email address somewhere anyone can see it.

I also like how the "from" field is correctly populated with the senders address, this hasn't been done neatly on previous services I tried.

Obviously I can't comment on deliverability, reliability and so on, but can't really fault the experience so far.
If they had been able to determine the veracity of it they would be able to tell us the ways that they did. Not just silence.
The good news are that Go's GC has basically no tunables, so you wouldn't have spent weeks on that. The bad news is that it has basically no tunables so if it's a tuning issue you're either fucked or have to put "tuning" hacks right into the code if you find any that works (e.g. twitch's "memory ballast" to avoid overly aggressive GC runs: https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2019/04/10/go-memory-ballast-how-i...)

In Toronto it is roughly comparable to Chicago or NYC. Vancouver would be similar to Seattle.

Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, etc, would be much colder.
True...and if people thought about it they would see this is true. Air must flow along the top of a wing and then be sent downward. The bottom of the wing of course "rides" along air like a boat on water. These two things cause air to go down and the plane to go up. Every pilot knows if you hit the relative air at a critical angle the air on top of the wing will stop "sticking" and seperate from the wing...this is called a stall...and you won't have flight anymore. Also...frost on the top side of the wing will cause the air not to stick to the wing...and you can't fly in that case either. So we see easily it is not some magical pressure differential that is "sucking" the plane up.

A large number of electrons have been spilled on this topic. I recommend reading one of those. It really comes across as an attempt to argue in bad faith by ignoring these well-distributed (especially on HN) concerns; even worse to try and paint RSS and similar as harmful.

Their game search is a joke, no filter, no sort, nothing..
I hope not, convincing people to adhere to coding standard where I can tell "this is angular way, please do so" or "google does that" is so much easier than actually convincing herd of cats to "here we have modules, please put your code in a module, not inline because that is the way we do here". I do not care about standard it could be any other framework, just have it consistent, please.

In my personal experience, a good place to start is knowing your personal sleep length need (long, medium, short - note this may change over time). I found that I don't dream when I sleep under 7h or so. So to get substantial dreams I need 7.5-9+ hours. Also, bedroom air quality can be a factor. A HEPA filter next to your bed with a new filter can improve dreaming and sleep quality in general.
