Yea, financed with debt over what is now typically 7-10 years. 28k of capital to invest is out of the reach of the majority of Americans. Please don't pretend that's a small amount of money anyone can come up with.

I like the design. Any CSS frameworks that can produce similar look?
I’m going to go against the grain here and say I absolutely dread going to Costco but tolerate it because of the prices and bulk availability of certain produce.

A quick ranty list of complaints:

The store is too small for the amount of people and the enormous carts. It is a game of bumper cars every time.

Similarly, more than once I had to give up since the parking lot was completely full and I could only take so circling the lot. The gas lines are reminiscent of the pictures from the ‘73 oil embargo.

The location of items and item selection changes constantly.

There is few staff available to help you find anything.

The free samples attract hangers on like moths to a flame, blocking traffic. People treat the samples as a free lunch for their kids, and let kids ride unsafely ride inside the cart and not in the cart seats — no one stops this.

I have more, but writing this is already getting to me.
Why are recursive solutions shitty? I find them easier to read...
I am saying that we should take a measured approach to everything and not panic and take extreme measures because of what "could" happen. Economic damage can destroy lives too, though probably not yours or mine. I think I'll stop engaging at this point, because we seem to be talking past each other.
Can't you just use finely divided magnetite, or am I thinking of the wrong process? That sounds like "you can build it yourself" to me.

Eh... If you follow YouTubers you would think all of them achieved financial freedoms, have a uber house in Bali, and do nothing all day long.

Not to be too negative, but I'm seeing a lot of purely anecdotal comments on HN with lots of fuzzy gut feelings and very little to back up what seemingly amounts to elitism against JavaScript.

It's very easy to write fast JavaScript, with React or pick-your-framework. I would argue that these frameworks go out of their way to help you do that. But carelessly throwing modules at your problem is not going to get you that.

There are many reasons why SPAs can be slow. Whether that is due to truly lazy developers, overly tight deadlines, or management that just doesn't care is often left out of these discussions.

Everyone likes to complain about SPAs, as if terrible load times are a fundamental trait of frontend frameworks. That is not at all the case.
There's an entire community project waiting to happen here with annotation of each of these images with an NCBI taxonomy ID. I would certainly love to see these illustrations come back in to vogue in various databases.

There is value in the drawing process, as it is in part itself an annotation exercise, wherein the illustrator decides which anatomical features to draw (or not draw) on the organism. If done well, this can reveal a lot of information relatively quickly.
Isn't Show HN for products that we can actually try out? Looks like this is just collecting emails at this point.

There's also someone buying a lottery ticket that will make them rich soon, so what? Both take a huge amount of luck and are extremely unlikely.
You sort of answered about understanding the question with your comment about Skype.

Lots of work places are Windows / Office effectively only. Many places have a SOE that is windows only. At home I play games sometimes. Again, that drives Windows.

Also drivers, power issues and various other issues still crop up on Linux more than Windows or MacOS.

Also, working on a VM is nice in a way because it means if it gets stuffed up, just start again quickly.
I’d say that opinion is fair considering I had no idea they even had their own game studio.
It's a good plan. You can learn from some great engineers. But you definitely need other experiences, as Amazon's internal tooling feels like 2005 and isn't very transferable knowledge. (Why they don't spend more money on this is beyond me, the terrible tooling really ruins productivity.)
Some of what you've said here strikes me as true, as long as you limit the domain to "applications" aka "database client-server front end foobars".

It's really not true for any desktops in the "creation" realms that I mentioned. The data model for an image manipulation program or a spreadsheet or a DAW or a document preparation system is fundamentally in memory, and there's no roundtrip to anywhere to access it or to modify it.
The worst squatters don't pay the same prices as we do.

This will price more people out of their first domain than price out any serious squatters.
> Blue collar workers definitely work for money. They most probably aren’t aligned with their employers or companies’ goals, and they see their jobs as monotone means for making a living, without a mission in mind.

There are white collar workers that buy their employers' bullshit?
> all too often there are silly things like not letting you tab to the next field

Well, that's a criminal use of client-side validation, but it shouldn't condemn all client-side validation.

> Not to mention it's easier, whether you agree or not with "developers are expensive so performance doesn't matter" in a world where this is often said I'd expect more server side only validation because client side validation is duplicating the work.

That's fair, but as others have noted if you're in a world where a polished user-experience really makes a difference or is a competitive advantage I'd argue that well executed client-side validation can get you to a UX-quality bar that no amount of server-side validation can reach (edit to add: server-side validation is still, of course, absolutely required).

Whether that's truly important for a given business or product can only be argued on a case-by-case basis. I think it's definitely a colorable argument that there's some overuse of client-side validation relative to product goals, but I think there are definitely places where client-side validation is hugely impactful.

Again, all of this assumes that the client-side validation is implemented at a high quality bar. Of course bad client-side validation is not useful.
I can't believe they never implemented metric time and dates (calendar). Now we seem to be forever* stuck with what we have - a glaring inconsistency in some fundamental units of measurement.

* Forever is a long time; after several civilizations crumble and rebuild, perhaps there will be an opportunity.

> but salary for more skilled jobs isn't competitive

That's an old myth.

Because of COLA (and on top of that, pensions), the public sector in California pays more than private jobs now, aside from FANG.

I once asked my dental billing technician (yeah that's really a thing in the USA), "Who got the best benefits?"

Answer: "Oh, public employees are royalty."
Sure, but you can say so with near certainty.
In retail a store competes on price, selection, quality, service, and location. To me it’s astonishing that supermarkets have managed to yield the service advantage to Costco, a warehouse store. Half the staff is twice as helpful.

And the quality advantage, and even parity on selection. And the grocery chains don’t know why they keep losing money in their race to the bottom.
Same reason for me. If not for games, I would have switched a long time ago. My favourite game runs only on windows and
requires an anti-cheat that runs only on windows. So I just dual-boot.
It would be /var/opt/nix since it's data. Payload in /opt/nix and configuration in /etc/opt/nix. That's what the specification states.
I think it's just that blue-collar work is naturally more visible. Quality of work (not to mention quantity) can be appreciated with just a few glances of the work. So, it's not that there's no possibility of career advancement. It's just that "office politics" is not as needed.

That's my perspective, anyway.
C# from .Net 64bit supports tail-call optimization as far as I know. If you write your function in a tail recursive way it will be optimized and you won’t have any stack overflow if you use a C# version more recent than that.
It is pretty much the same, except there is no explicit loop and calls to wait for events written in JS/React code. Javascript itself runs a loop, instead of polling for events, you define events handlers, and DOM/React handles "redraw anything that needs it" part.
> How does one seize a firm's assets if a firm has no private property? That implies the firm has nothing to seize because it has nothing.

Well the traditional linguistic connotations of possession certainly persist. Here "seize" simply means take control of.
The credit union I use has the same 10 transaction requirement to get rewards checking, but it might be a better deal because there's no balance cap on the interest rate (although, the rate isn't as nice), and you can use their rewards visa (credit, 1% back) to make the transactions.

I try to put my low dollar recurring charges on it, cell phone, personal hosting, isp, etc, which gets most of the way, and some out and around small spending gets me over the hump. I'd rather not have to jump through this dumb hoop, but it means less transfers back and forth between checking and saving and less worrying about timing on big payments.
I live New York. 5/7 years I’ve been here I haven’t had a wash.

In my experience, an apartment with in-unit goes for 10% more than one without. My rent is 1850/mo and my local friendly laundromat does wash-and-fold for $0.90/lb. The math works out that an in-unit wash just isn’t worth it to me.

Even if you’re lucky enough to afford rent in New York you probably can only afford one or two luxuries. For me I‘ve chosen living alone and windows that get sunlight over things like square footage, location, or a wash.
> Unless they are _literately_ unemployable, in which case we should consider them disabled at look after them as if we would anybody else with metal or physical disabilities.

Why? People shouldn’t be rewarded for being disagreeable, unwilling to get along with people, and unwilling to work. If they are literally disabled and can’t work at all, that’s one thing. But even people with mental disabilities can be great employees. Rewarding anti-social behavior with “looking after” incentivizes such behavior. Subsidize behavior and you get more of it. Case in point, all of the fake disability people who have unverifiable soft tissue “injuries” that collect disability as a life choice.

No Nix is not like the other lying leaky abstractions. Nixpkgs takes great effort not to slap another layer in top, but actually wade through the muck and actually fix problems at their source.

So sound very alienated and have a realistically cynical that accurately reflects of most of the industry. But please don't assume everything has to be that way. Tools like Nix and community efforts like Nixpkgs really are the exception.
Nothing about this actually is minimal. It's a highly stylized design that I guess "feels" minimal, but it utterly fails at actually being minimal.
>Let C1 be the following claim: "function composition is better behaved than object composition and procedure composition".

>Let C2 be the following claim: "the most important part of FP is function composition".

C9 = functional programming is better designed than OOP and procedural programming.

I claim C1 to be true (you agree.)
I claim C2 to be true.
I claim C9 to be true.
I do not claim C1 => C2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reasoning for C2:

C3 = The primary task of High level programming languages is to simplify assembly instructions.

C4 = The simplification of assembly instructions is done through Composition.

C5 = Different High level programming languages/paradigms simplify assembly primitives in different ways.

C6 = High level programming languages/paradigms are, in essence just different ways of composing assembly primitives.

(C3, C4, C5) => C6

C7 = If programming languages are all just different ways of composing assembly primitives than how they compose assembly primitives is the most important part of the language and the main differentiator between one high level language and another high level language.

C8 = function composition is the primary form of composition for functional programming.

(C6, C7, C8) => C2

---------------------------------------

In short:

- High level programming languages/paradigms are, in essence just different ways of composing assembly primitives.

- If programming languages are all just different ways of composing assembly primitives than how they compose assembly primitives is the most important part of the language and the main differentiator between one high level language and another high level language.

- function composition is the primary form of composition for functional programming.

Therefore: the most important part of FP is function composition.

-------------------------------------------

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reasoning for C9:

C8 = "A Design for a programming language" is just another phrase for "a method of composition for a programming language".

(C1, C8) => C9

-----------------------------------------------

In short:

- function composition is better behaved than object composition and procedure composition

- "A Design for a programming language" is just another word for "a method of composition for a programming language"

Therefore: functional programming is better designed than OOP and procedural programming.

------------------------------------------------

I like this format, thanks for introducing it. I think it allows us to clearly see which axioms we disagree with and need to think about.
This wouldn’t work. Domain squatters are always going to profit from most requested domains whatever the increase is. If $30 is affordable for the regular person it’s affordable for a squatter. Increasing prices though would prevent someone in a poor country who earns a couple of dollars a day from starting a website for their business.

Rather domains should be cheaper for less fortunate people to have better online presence

My sister was killed 5 months ago as a result of injuries from a car accident where someone was negligent. That person is currently in prison. My family had the opportunity to make the penalties much harsher for that person, but we decided against it. It reached a point where we didn't see the point in causing even more pain to an already excruciating situation. Not to mention they need to go about the rest of their life living with what they've caused.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be any compensation or repercussions, but the possibility of 14 years for an accident is absurd. If it wasn't an accident or if she was in fact negligent, that's another story. And what precedent would the US gov be setting by turning over gov employees working abroad (or their families)?

Now that you know I basically have gone through this, maybe you should re-think your sentiment.

Sure, you are right that the goals are different. But good engineers respect the user. And that includes paying close and careful attention to client side performance. While you may not be directly paying for it, crappy performance there will cause users to bail on you - then you won't need to worry about how much the server is costing you.
It is honestly great to have a tool that solves so many problems at once but the resultant complexity is intimidating for most developers I feel.
When it talks about mailing unordered merchandise, it's not talking about stuff done in error but rather mailing of merchandise the sender knows was not ordered. Which is to say, "unordered merchandise" doesn't mean "merchandise ordered by someone else", it doesn't mean "merchandise mistakenly believed to have been ordered but wasn't really", and it doesn't mean "merchandise miscategorized by the seller and sent in place of the actual ordered merchandise".

The context here is companies realized they could mail out merchandise that was never ordered, then demand the recipient pay for it. This is why the law you cited says it "constitutes an unfair method of competition and an unfair trade practice". This law is combating that practice, not punishing companies for making mistakes.
I'm having no luck finding any URLs, but if you look at histories of many physical constants, you see that new measurements tend to lie within error ranges of the most recent previous measurements.

But occasionally, there's a jump to a substantially different value.

The explanation is that scientists debug their setups and equipment until they get a result that's plausible, relative to prior published measurements. Because otherwise, people would be driven to figure out what they did wrong. And it could be embarrassing.

But once they do, they tend to stop tweaking, and publish.

So it's only scientists who don't manage to get plausible results, and yet are confident that they've debugged well enough, who publish results that end up becoming new standards.
Ask HN: Whats the best way for a script kid to learn good development practices?
I have worked for years writing data manipulation scripts mainly in Jupyter notebooks but some web development (Flask) and production data pipelines (Airflow) for small businesses. There is (understandly) a lot of disdain on HN about Jupyter notebooks.

I am keen on learning better programming practices as a (mainly) solo developer - are there any great resources anyone can recommend to upskill? (Understanding that I know the syntax of the language quite well)
The newer Dash 8 Q400 isn’t bad. The seats sit lower and the windows are higher so it makes it more comfortable. Contrast that with a CRJ200 or ERJ145 though and you’d see why people dislike regional jets. They’re horribly cramped and uncomfortable.

In addition to the comfort of the plane, regional airlines generally are just less likely to have it together. All of the employees are paid less and expected to do everything for bottom dollar pay. When the wheels start falling off schedule wise they tend to really fall off hard. Think maintenance delays or system wide delays that leave crews behind and in the wrong places.

This is all speaking from a US perspective. Not sure where you were flying to avoid the TSA as any scheduled airline service is going to have TSA or a contracted equivalent in the US.

I feel like (inputs `(("libevent" ,libevent) ("ncurses" ,ncurses))) is pretty bad compared to buildInputs = [ ncurses libevent makeWrapper ]; even if you go by token count. (I think it's 16 vs. 8.) A different problem is that syntactically the Scheme version looks like a call to a function called “inputs” and I don't think it is; that depends on context. In general in Lisps the interpretation of everything depends on syntactic context, so you have to do a lot of processing consciously that you can do subconsciously in languages that have a syntax.

(There's an indentation error in either your example or my browser that makes that input clause appear to belong to the origin clause rather than the package clause, btw. The extra redundancy of the different kinds of delimiters makes that error harder to make in Nix. I wrote about this more at length in http://www.paulgraham.com/redund.html )

The module imports at the top are a lot more egregious but that's because they're using Guile’s module system naked; it's not really the fault of Scheme's syntax per se and I think you could hack together some kind of macrological solution.

I think Scheme is brilliant and probably a better choice, but I think the syntactic cost is pretty heavy in your example.

When it comes to Nix and Guix, though, these are kind of minor details. More important questions are things like “does it have the software I want in it” and “how reproducible is it” and “how do I figure out what's broken”.
