I have two laptops, a 2015 Macbook Pro and a Dell XPS 9550 (also from 2015). I wonder what I'm doing wrong that I love them both. I've never thought about the things he complains about like keyboards, battery life, or firmware, because they just work.

It would be nice if the author provided more details on what he doesn't like beyond "if yours works, it’s because you were lucky". It's almost like he just wants to complain.
Not having VCs of my own helped a lot!
I know the author points out that the errgroup example usage is safe because each goroutine writes to their own index but I think in general you should always guard data structures that aren't thread safe. Relying on the layout of a slice could lead to a data race in the future.

I have been showing the value of GraphQL to a few startups for a while now to the point where I can get a GraphQL/Express server up and running from a frequently used template I built, in 90 minutes will full support for Query, Mutation and Subscription.

At a company I know the R&D team routinely interviews PhD candidates of which an hour is kept aside specifically for the R&D team to come up to speed on the latest research that these PhD candidates read up on.

> The company is spending time and money (a LOT of money at big companies) to interview you, expect to spend some of your own.

I dont think you thought this through.

The company is spending time and money to make sure they don't make a hiring mistake. The time and effort sunk in by the candidate is part of the cost subsidized by the candidate.

An argument can be made that it would be cheaper for the employer to hire a candidate on an at-will basis once the candidate passes a basic skill and design test.
Completely unrelated. Cattle farming is allowed within the greenbelt, and feedlots were the source of Walkerton's E. coli.
For Japan's case at least, it seems there was significant deforestation followed by reforestation. I think that was the case in the US as well. It seems that poor countries trash their environment to develop and become rich (see United Kingdom, United States, China). Once they are rich they start caring more about the environment and do things like reforestation and other more environmentally friendly actions.

I came to SQLite recently having used big iron enterprise tools for my analytical work previously (namely Oracle), and wow, what a lovely elegant tool. It isn't just super useful for web and embedded applications, it is quite a powerful and convenient analytical tool for quickly ingesting huge flat files and querying them.
What fruits? What labor? My point is that most people's labor bears no actual fruit.
A thesis cannot be "completely valid" when 50% of the reasoning behind it is "objectively wrong". Some people would rather point out in which ways your idea is misguided and naive than attempt to force sense out of an idea that's based on wrong information.
Claiming that congress doesn't have subpoena powers and everything needs to be taken to Supreme court is not "legal defensive measures". That is the only thing that matters to this sub-thread here. Remember, it is only a while ago that the tables were turned and republicans were happy to claim then President Clinton did not have any powers to defend.
To add, I recall that the Netherlands also followed the post-war system of adding more highways/promoting cars, so I know it's not simply a corruption issue.

In the 1970s, protests against the increasing number of children deaths caused by cars resulted in the more pro-cycling infrastructure they have now, rather than prioritizing cars first, second, and third like they did in my country (the US) and, I believe, the UK.

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/may/05/amsterdam-bic... for background.

I can't help but also note that post-war UK manufactured cars, while the Netherlands did not.
Wow, really, has the world lost all of it's honesty?
Oh what “fact-based” source do you get news from and how do they verify the “fact”? Do they use floating signifiers like “democracy”, “freedom”, “liberal”, “middle class”, “big government”? Do they have opinion columns and private ownership? It is impossible to act as if you’re both fact based and as if you’re serving your readership at the same time—the very act of choosing which stories to cover is deeply political itself, and that’s before you hit framing, what parts of the story you choose to emphasize, the goddamn headline (often written by a different person).

The National Review for instance is excellent at fact-checking, but I would not call the NR a factual paper or a paper of record.

There are no rocks on which to build these days (probably ever), just a series of private rides you can choose to be taken on.
Do you know why they dont do exhaustiveness checking?

They don't in scala either and I had assumed that was to do with type erasure. Given F# does however, presumably there is no limitation to C# doing it?
>I hypothesize that this is because programmers and other various Computer People consider "being on the computer" to be a satisfying goal in itself that sometimes has positive side effects in the real world, while everyone else simply has stockholm syndrome.

Oh believe me, as much as I love being on the computer for the sake of it, I don't enjoy having that screen time utterly wasted by shit software. There's only so many hours in a day after all.

I work w/ ERP software, so I see people still using text-mode UIs on a daily basis (hell I track my time w/ one), and I also support a "modern" ERP that is GUI based and can "run inside a browser." (Which nobody actually does, because it sucks, doesn't support all features, and swallows up tons of keyboard shortcuts.) One of these packages can be run comfortably from a $5 Linux VPS. The other package asks for two _very fast_ SAS storage arrays, 32GB of RAM, minimum of 6 CPU cores, etc. Of course you've gotta license Windows for all of that, which thankfully is not my job. (That or you spin it up in "the cloud" I guess, and pay thousands of dollars annually to rent somebody else's computer, since this software is not "cloud native" at all, no matter what their sales people say.)

I try to leave the software better/faster/more usable than I found it, but it's hard when the upstream vendor is just piling shit on the fire so they can pitch their half-implemented features on the sales brochure: with absolute no regard for the added operational overhead of the garbage code.
Do you have any good articles or posts you can think of for managing the migration, in case there're some lifesavers out there.

This pricing is way better than other insurers but I just signed up for Lemonade. How do I know you can pay out?

Also, the fact that you can give me a quote without an email address is amazing. I’ll sign up but it’ll be a year before you see anything because I just got Lemonade.
It does get you something, though: the service of ARIN telling everyone that you "own" those addresses. Lying to someone so that they will perform a service for you is fraud even if you're not receiving any property. If you're running your own closed-off private network you can use whatever addresses you want, and I would agree with you that IPv4 addresses, as such, are not property. However, if you're connecting to the public Internet then your peers are going to care about whether the address ranges you claim were officially assigned to you by ARIN.
Same here. I put 2700K philips all over my house 5 years ago and I haven't had any issues, but I have no idea of the quality of the power coming into my house from my provider.

Those are not "weird tricks". Those are tax incentives whose intent is obvious (make the environment better) and where your friend's using the tax incentive directly aligns with why that tax rule is there. Your friend and the tax law are clearly doing what they are clearly designed to do, which benefits not just him but us all.

However, if your friend's "weird trick" is something like a double Irish [1], then it's not at all clear that the applicable tax laws are intended to be used that way or that your friend's choice to use that loophole is good for anyone but your friend.

I really hate these dark patterns but it seems par for the course for this industry. At what point do people realize good relationships with long term customers matters more than the incremental dollar?
Usually it will be because they were investigating something else, and either seized a hackers device, or gained access to a hackers servers.

Device or servers will then have evidence of the other things the hacker and thier associates have been doing.

Sometimes criminals brag about things.

Other times, the compromised infrastructure is used in other criminal activity that gets detected by the next victim, and the law enforcement agencies work thier way back.
I guess if Congress isn't happy with the outcome, they can just impeach the president... Woops!

Sucks when the other party uses the rules against you.

If you believe you're being attacked by politically motivated partisans, it's your duty to obstruct them by whatever lawful or procedural means available.

It's all just a dog and pony show anyway. The news just want to drum up advertising because they're a dying media. The best way they have found to do that is click-bait political fighting.

But how'd they get there in the first place? Contact with a D12 is terminal? What set our hypothetical failure apart from a 20-something guy that drinks, does drugs, plays games, is in a relationship and leads a rewarding life? Allow me to blast some copypasta about for an idea I can't quite articulate myself:

>Everything is systemic until it's people you don't like, and then suddenly they're personally morally culpable for their shit ass attitude. A whole generation of men simultaneously said "nah fuck it having a life is for fags"? When you see this many people with the same problem, the word "systemic" should come to mind immediately. They need to wipe their own ass obviously but I'm in no rush to blame a whole generation of teenagers for burning out the exact same way; I wanna know who sold them the video games, weed and tendies.
You might be right. Or you might be wrong.

Considering the fact that confirmation bias exists, you're predisposed to look for/notice examples that confirm your hypothesis (true or not). You're also predisposed to explain why other people might be painting a different picture (e.g. media are biased). Again, whether that's true or not.

So here's my question - considering that a huge amount of people seem to disagree with you - me heavily included (I've been in the industry 16 years) - why are you convinced you are right, and not missing something?
I think you may be missing the point of my post.

pragmatically, I don't object to the idea of taxation. the government provides some useful services and it needs a way of funding them. I'm also not actually interested in renouncing my citizenship, as I personally find US citizenship to be worth the tax obligations.

what I do object to is the common "social contract" argument for why taxes are legitimate. in particular, I strongly object to the idea that I "consent" to taxation merely by having been born here. I haven't consented to anything; I submit because an overwhelmingly powerful entity compels me.
They did not specifically state it but I believe he/she was referring to subtype polymorphism. Parametric polymorphism as you describe is far more useful imho.

You're describing cut-through switching [1]. Because of its disadvantage, it is usually limited to uses that require pure performance, such as HFT (High Frequency Trading). Traditional store-and-forward switching is still commonly used (or some hybrid approach).

"The advantage of this technique is speed; the disadvantage is that even frames with integrity problems are forwarded. Because of this disadvantage, cut-through switches were limited to specific positions within the network that required pure performance, and typically they were not tasked with performing extended functionality (core)."

Title is a little unclear, this is for an "Expanded Access Program", for individuals who are unable to participate in a clinical stage 3 trial. [1]

"Sometimes called “compassionate use”, expanded access is a potential pathway for a patient with an immediately life-threatening condition or serious disease or condition to gain access to an investigational medical product (drug, biologic, or medical device) for treatment outside of clinical trials when no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy options are available. "

While it's not very substantive, this observation is correct so while it may be valid to downvote, it isn't valid to flag. The US is not a democracy. It's a constitutional republic with an electoral college. The checks afforded by this system make it much harder than just manipulating a mob (which is another way to describe a democracy).

No, it's a preventative measure. Just like changing SSH to a non-standard port reduces pointless attempts.

I agree with almost everything you say. However all the college projects I was part of, there was no supervision whatsoever. We were all children learning to be adults. Some of us were already there before others. I'm guessing lambda students are more adults than kids. Bottom line, TA support is golden. Supervision, not so much.
For some threat models, that is okay. Indeed, for many manufacturing machines, there is no need for a login screen -- it is simply something intrinsic to modern OS design.
Said this already but worth repeating:

the best computer application I interacted with was an AS400 era tax filling system.

It was a superb tool in the prettiest meaning. It was a care free, lag free, pedagogy free thing. Fill out data as it comes (the only smart key you needed was tab and shift-tab), smarter than the average web app form validation checks and suggestions. Think instant Elm typecheck where you enjoy the computer assisting work.

I was in 4th year in college and blown away how this thing beat anything we'd see or studied in school yet it was antique pre-OO pre-UML (maybe an ancestor of modeling hygiene though). I wish I could have a talk with the team who wrote that.

Of course it was about to be replaced by a web2.0 variant which was a resource hog, required constant scrolling, didn't do half of the old work but was full colored css.
Given my first terminal was an ASR-33, this is of interest to me - yes I have insurance, and yes I have friends who got staggering bills because the anesthesiologist wasn't in-network (not to bash on anesthesiologists, I have counted some as good friends and they're the greatest geeks in medicine). - will this keep in-network hospitals using in-network providers for services ?

Thanks we worked hard on the pricing! We can pay because 1) regulation demands that we do, aka it's the law. 2) we have capital partners with billions of dollars in claims paying capital.

I'm looking forward to the debate tonite, hopefully Bloomberg will get to show everyone what kind of candidate he really is.

I still think his entire campaign is just a twisted way to get around campaign contribution limits and possibly a bulwark to keep the wacko socialist candidates from winning the nomination.

Hopefully he proves me wrong and is a real candidate that will be able to stand toe to toe with President Trump and we will see a good old fashioned dust up between the two of them this summer!!

"Sell" is a four-letter word. Was that an actual market transaction where the seller got the highest price they could, and said price was evaluated by the buyer against alternatives? No, of course not. It was a dictated sale, precisely to present a fiction to the tax authorities.

You can only use a sale price to justify a valuation when it's under those circumstances, or a good-faith approximation of such circumstances.

In normal circumstances t would make no sense for FB to take on the risk of hiring a contractor and justify the RoR to shareholders knowing they could only immediately sell for exactly what they paid. That's not how sane businesses operate.
Unless you pay for it.

The cows are produced for money. Muscle meat is one of the most lucrative products, but demand for any part of the cow incentivizes more cows.

It's possible that it would still be ecologically the lesser evil because the market value is low and what you might choose as an alternative isn't necessarily better, but it's not so clear cut as you make it sound.
Mildly interesting how this story has gotten 130 points in two hours but is still placed beneath numerous other HN front page stories with less points in more time. Not least since the incentives of YC would be to want this story dead. In the 5 mins it took me to login on mobile it dropped from 15 to 25.
It blocks unsophisticated resource waste mostly, as other commenters have said, just like changing an SSH port would.

It is noteworthy that Santa Cruz has opposed legislation at the state level that would place density in the cities, despite leading political figures demagoguing the evils of being a bedroom community, and the evils of letting people live in Santa Cruz while they work over the hill.

It is also failing to build the density that would allow affordable housing for its own workforce, instead maintaining luxury zoning which means that only mansions will be built for out of towners that visit sometimes but not often.

This means big profits for the working class homeowners that are now retired, but exclusion of any opportunity for working class people today.

Obama's Statement: USA Unemployment Figures and Economy Key to Election 2020?
That call to STOPRATE was there to zero out attitude rate commands at the moment the astronaut switches into the semimanual final descent program P66. It was removed in the final few revisions before the first, unflown release of the Apollo 14 software (Luminary 163 [1]) because it was preventing attitude control of the spacecraft when Rate-Of-Descent commands were skipped [2]. Skipping ROD commands wasn't normal, but was something that was added as part of the effort to make the computer more cleanly handle large unexpected additional load, like happened in Apollo 11.

I think the vast majority of folks who voted for Trump felt that they received what they were expecting to receive. I think most who voted that way the first go around will likely vote for him again should they return to the polls.
To me that sounds like an environment where there's not a lot of competition involved. (Which is what I was describing.)
