In Finland, there's a quirk of lawmaking coincidence:, cars older than 30 years can be registered as museum vehicles, and taxi operations were recently unregulated. As a result, some taxi operators run old vehicles. You may get to ride in a Saab 900, I've seen them around!

Fund raising has its own domain knowledge.

Not defending. Having done some myself, I'd guess they're mostly following the standard playbook.
i work from home and get a "day pass" at a coworking spot from time to time (Common Desk in Dallas). After a while, wfh feels like being on house arrest.

I head over to the co-working location for the commotion and activity honestly. Everyone is still working and so it's not like a social event but I need to be around other humans while at work from time to time.

Plus, one time I met these kids (likely right out of college) working on a IOT weather station. They had a few customers and we're working on their hardware at Common Desk. I chatted with them and gave them some biz pointers and some contacts from my network. I got a real kick out of that.
* Set up "office hours" where coworkers can come and ask you questions. Even if you don't actually have an office, this is just a set period of time that you've blocked off for people to visit you at your desk and receive assistance.

* Turn off notifications on Slack, e-mail, etc., and only check those things periodically throughout the day. If you're cruising on some new feature, don't switch over to Outlook. Keep cruising.

* Don't be afraid to say "sorry, I'm in the middle of working on this thing -- I will follow up with you later." You are the only protector of your time. Everyone else will steal as much as you allow them to steal.

* Wear headphones. People are less likely to interrupt when you wear them.
It was a preview release, but they've already started rolling it out to the regular Nightly channel and according to this very blog post we're discussing it's supposed to have a "public release later this spring".

Given that any changes have to work their way through the Beta channel, too, there's not much time left for landing changes in Nightly that will still make it into the first Release version... so the first official Release version that will be pushed out to everybody will indeed be in an unfinished state.
If it inconveniences a lot fewer drivers than the number of cyclists and public transit users who benefit, then it's a clear-cut and uncontroversial net win, isn't it?
You did, my point was more along the lines of it’s subjective use and how it blurs the lines, so I suppose we’re saying the same thing. To a certain extent, the perverting of the terminology seems to be used to garner prestige or status rather than any of the original purpose. If subjectivity extends far enough, it’s hard for me to say the OP was using the term “professional” incorrectly. In that case, it’s hard to make the case that your subjective definition is right and theirs is wrong or vice versa
Yes, but does it really work? The documentation is written in the future tense.
You've reminded me that there's a five-way intersection next to Uni Graz. Some years ago they basically removed all traffic signals and most signs, basically ceding the whole area to priority for pedestrians. When I first came across it the apparent chaos was a little concerning but after walking through that place on more than one occasion I was surprised how well it worked. I've not actually been to that part of town in some time, so now I wonder if it's still like that.

I'm not sure that would work in many, much less every intersection but it really made me stop and question what sort of unrecognised assumptions I had about traffic safety. This stuff is important and I think there's way to many rules and practices that are in place because of assumptions that got made back in the dawn of time... it's likely that they're not correct now but it's even possible that they were never really correct. We need evidence based policies and not so-called common wisdom.
Both TCP which Postel wrote the spec and HTML follow this principle so it it seems have its merits.

You know what followed your principle? XHTML...and the arguments were the same, its not well formed just reject it, why would you ever accept broken input.

Sure it makes parsing faster and simpler and yet what actually works and is robust in the real world, HTML...
Looking at the country's history, you will see that Switzerland isn't rich since a long time. The country is considered successful economically since around 1848[0]. But the confederation is known to have been formed around 1291 (that's the official date that is part of the national myth, the actual date could be slightly different).

> even an infinitely long byte sequence cannot represent all [real] numbers

You misread. The previous comment said

No one is interested in your infinitely long musical score.
The real issue is one of free inquiry versus authoritarianism (of any sort, not just religious). Galileo did not have all the facts, and he was reckless in how he addressed authority, but today, many of us are fortunate in living in circumstances where free inquiry (and also freedom of religion) became the norm.
One option: Take any job in any industry from well functioning (i.e. large) company. They'll have to offer it as a real, paying job and not some half-formed idea. Doesn't have to be software (though it sounds like that's the general skill set we've got here). Once you have living money, you can decide if you want to go bigger on living money or spend the rest of your effort on hobby projects.
IMO: you don’t to see that, you just need to have ever driven a car with other cars on the road to understand why vehicles going different speeds shouldn’t share the same lanes.
Stripe bought IndieHackers so I don't think this feature is in the roadmap.

The goals of the site builder and the end user are unfortunately not always the same. Airbnb doesn't want the user to have too much control (sorting by dollars), Facebook and Google also come to mind (being able to easily filter out ads would be great).

Alternatively, we could push to make housing not a commodity. Build more public housing, upzone and regulate what gets rebuilt to ensure more units, put laws in place to advantage renters, make building affordable units a higher roi than building luxury units, etc.
You don't need a full license, just an "AM" one and a 7-hour training, and you can start when you're 14.

That's nothing compared to a car license, that need to be 18, takes 1000~2000€, several months of training, a theoretical exam and a practical test (that's common to fail).
Instead of consuming the extra energy, OP could also provide it to another customer through the grid, by selling it back to the utility company. This would reduce the total amount of energy that needs to be generated from non-renewable sources. If OP increases their own consumption instead, those non-renewable kWh are still being generated and causing environmental impact somewhere.

If someone attacks you for having political views different from his, then that seems like a problem with him, and not with Facebook.
This is seriously one of the worst things I've ever read on HN...
What is your actual background;

- did you study
- how much coding experience do you have
- which languages
- what types of jobs are you applying for
- do you have a smartphone (is there not something like https://postmates.com/ in Netherlands)
- do you have friends or family who have jobs in businesses (or their own businesses)
- Etc
In Japan however people seem to cycle at a more casaual pace.
What upper class tripe. The only freedom sons of Athenian slaves had was to die in the Athenian silver mines.

>Shafts were driven down into the ground and galleries opened where slaves, chained, naked, and branded, worked the seams illuminated only by guttering oil lamps. An unrecorded number were children. It was a miserable, dangerous, and brief life. [0]

It is always the most comfortable that consume the most vivid persecution porn. Feminists seem to have been doing this for a century longer than the The Handmaid's Tale, which was my introduction to that brand of mental illness.

So it’s a biro?
Er, that doesn't sound like a good position.

I can't really relate; although I grew up in poverty and understand that aspect of things and it took me a very long time to get my first job (and, even my second job actually).

Does anyone ever give you feedback on why they are not hiring you? It's possible that it's something small but people are reluctant to give negative feedback if it doesn't benefit them to do so.

If I were in the same situation as you (IE; very little industry experience as an employee) I might consider leaning heavily on my github profile, make sure it's as polished as possible, figure out the key things you enjoy working on and then make it appear as if you do those things often. -- Finding bugs in lots of software is a great way to get your activity boxes to light up dark green!

Hiring managers (I speak from experience as I am responsible for hiring peers, though not as a manager) love to see something clear and consistent. So if you're a dabbler it might be more tricky to convey competence. Try to find a focus area; contribute to, or build something with a clear singular purpose (like saltstack or grafana)

Second is to get as many eyes from technologists on your profile, your CV, whatever. Feedback will go a long way. You can find people on freenode (or here) to do this.

Third I would look for companies _outside_ of my local country, because:

1) they will over some kind of relocation package (which might be monetary)
2) they will pay for flights/hotel on the last stage of interview
3) they will likely find accommodation for you if you get hired.
(for 3-6months while you get on your feet).

This is easier to do if you're in Europe. :)

Cafe's are obviously your friend when interviewing. But getting your foot in the door is probably the hardest thing.

FWIW; my studio is hiring relatively aggressively and we're based in Malmo, Sweden.

The relocation package is reimbursement for expenses and 6months of living in our apartments, in general the people working in the studio care about competence not experience, you just need to get around the HR filter somehow.

I've just found that those knives can hit the floor hard and wedge themselves deep into a crack.

If you come along at the right time, and pull with all your might, you can pull that knife right out of the ground like a sword from a stone and become a king...

I'm doing that right now!
Something called "Desk Developer", "Deskdev", "Rapid Application Development" or "RAD".

I was in the Deskdev team in an investment bank for 4 years, great fun and I learned a lot about Excel.
> and if you render it on the server, you don't need javascript at all.

I find it amusing how things have changed. We've almost come full circle.
Well it requires quite a bit from the compiler/language server infrastructure to not just behave like a batch compiler and give up after e.g. a failed parse. The ability to analyze incomplete or incorrectly parsing syntax is very tricky compared to doing it in sequence parse -> analyze etc.

Many IDE's manage this but far from all languages (compilers) do, simply because their compilers are simple batch compilers.
It's working great. In Switzerland we do not only have elections every few years but we can also (directly) vote on issues from all three legal jurisdictions (municipality, canton or federal level) multiple times a year. Thus, we not only have a democracy but a direct democracy.
What exactly is Italy's export capacity? What Italian goods do you interact with besides pasta, olive oil, wine, cheese, and the occasional Ferrari?
Add Javascript to VBA and allow users to use WebStorm or VS and we'd have something great. I gave Rubberduck a go a few years ago and was rather underwhelmed when compared to a real IDE (which is understandable, as Rubberducks creators don't have $$$ behind them)
Humans are creative, and they apply that creativity to their present circumstances. I'm reminded of John Adams here:

"I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.”
The agreement does allow for that.

But I don't think that the situation calls for a full throttled shut everything down, oj! wie is mir, panic.

Since I travelled to Asia 3 1/2 weeks ago I was quite concerned and very abreast with valid information. So I mostly referred to the one reasonable source[1].

In no instance have they suggested any bans on travel or trade. And frankly, I put more stock into the opinion of the WHO than, say, Mike Pence'.

In addition I'm travelling from a country were the risk of infection is lower than if I travelled from neighboring Italy.

That's not to say that I'm blasé about the issue. If I would feel any slight symtoms I'd immediately contact my doc, relay my travel history and do whatever is required. Legally and morally.

Full throttle panic in the line of The end is nigh, shut down all borders! is, if anything, extremely counter productive.

It is incredibly sad that prejudices like "40 years old mentality" stop people from using vim.

It's not outdated or limited, it's extremely convenient and powerful. Yes, there's some learning involved, but after learning a few keystrokes, you become extremely productive with vim.

nano or other editors can't even come close, because vim allows to edit the text with the speed of your though without pressing a lot of keys.
I was very sad when they removed it. Current Facebook user search is gimped and simply disappointing. So bad that for some time I wondered if I was part of the bad group of an A/B test.

It was also very good when you could look up people by email or telephone.
I can imagine the type people looking to actually use this. They are using go for whatever reason but complain about it constantly because they want it to be Ruby on Rails.
find a döner kebap restaurant which run by turkish people. probably they will help you out, find a job for you to enough to get fed. think about something you can provide. thats all they mostly have soft hearts cannot leave people die.
The menubar is the worst bit of mac ui design, completely removes the action from the context of what you are acting on UI 101.

I hate that people keep pretending its good UI design simply because it was a thing before we knew what good UI design was.
I can't speak to that company's motivations, but my current position has similar amenities (showers with soap, basic toiletries in the bathroom, food/drinks readily available) and I don't think anyone here's been pulling any all-nighters. They're mostly used by folks who bike in to work in the morning and need to clean up, or get something stuck in their teeth after lunch.

It could all be some malicious plot for when the 24-hour work days hit in a few months, or it could just be a nice and relatively cheap benefit that helps people out? I know there's plenty of times I realize I have to present at a meeting and I'd feel much better if I could make sure I was well-groomed before it.

It's not hard to make almost any action a company makes into evidence of brutal malice, but that doesn't mean it's always true.

Anything that seriously stresses you out will have a negative impact on your performance.

It's a shame that so often that thing seems to be how to pay rent on time, or being able to provide for your familiy financially.

That much is true.

> a guy trying to copyright A CHORD

IIRC he failed miserably.

A better example would be the (until recently) coprighted song "Happy Birthday." [1]

[1] https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/happy-birthda...
I think the aim is not to claim that other pieces violate this collection's copyright, but rather to invalidate the frivolous claims that such melody sequences are copyrighted to begin with.

Either the courts decide they are not, in which case the creators will be happy.

Or they are copyrightable and therefore this collection, even if it is in the public domain, is a prior art that invalidates any claim that a newly used melody is really new/copyrightable.
You realize you have to double that, right?

It's $146,998.73 for each person. No matter how you slice it, 1.1% is greater than 1%. We're still working with $100 initially.

And if you're talking about one person's unrealized gain, we've already addressed that.

Individually, we may make less, but collectively, we make more.

The idea is that since fortune is largely based on luck and then exploiting that luck, we could be leaving a lot of progress on the table. A landlord who makes their wealth simply by charging rent isn't really doing anything to advance anything. He just happened to own the right bit of land at the right time.

So if we tax him and then use those taxes to provide for those who did not have the same breaks, we may be enabling someone to actually create something that advances technology or science or medicine.

I mean, "individually less, collectively more" also explains why the individual doesn't want to voluntarily give up anything.
1. Hang in there. Take care of yourself by being kind to yourself as best you can

2. Keep applying to jobs. Don't give up on that. Something will work out.

3. In the interim, have you considered doing some freelance work via Upwork or something similar? The pay will likely not be great, but it'll be a hell of a lot more than 10 Euros / week, and can grow as you build a client-base.
Yes, you're right! In practice, though, we're finding that many useful customizations can fit into that framework. For example, the Expedia demo in the paper shows a "1 row table" to represent an input form. It's worth thinking about how many different things people use spreadsheets for...

I think another useful analogy for thinking about abstract data representations is text streams in UNIX. It turns out many types of data can be represented as newline-delimited text, which enables you to use a suite of generic tools with that data. Inevitably, some data doesn't fit into that format, but it's perhaps surprising how much does.
People really want to mock out dependencies in go, instead of architecting their application properly
It's not uncommon to drive 70mph (110kph) on highways inside US cities.

Regular roads in cities often allow up to 45mph (70kph).
With your english and the fact that you're technical you should be able to get a job at least in a call/support center, if not in the Netherlands, then at least somewhere in CEE. You should be able to get 1-2k euro/month, get back to your feet and start over. Good luck!
Ask HN: What can I do with an extra wi-fi router?
I have an extra router sitting idle and was wondering what cool small projects I could develop with it.
I personally support municipalities making it illegal to go completely off the grid.
Except the staff at a store also ensure the store is well maintained, stocked, the register is operated quickly, theft is minimal, and provide customer service to those customers who do need it.

As someone who worked retail in a music store, there's a whole lot of people who have no idea how to even begin finding what they like. Efficient customers like you are a minority.
What about something that doesn’t involve being a founder? Sales is a skill!
In some ways, that mindset comes from a place of privilege. In true poverty-esque situations, you often couldn't get the time off of work to find another job, or even afford the transition between one job and another. It can be a pretty vicious cycle.
I used to use a weird excel extension that I found somewhere that would export all the modules as text and push them to a subversion repo.
Good point; I think it would initially involve some personal vetting as well as starting at a local level. This could be made part of the listing process where the only way to get verified as a member is to allow a designated photographer if you're hosting, and some kind of social proof (LinkedIn?) if you're looking for a space. I think this is a bigger concern in remote towns and the countryside, though. For a city like Amsterdam, safety might not be that big of an issue.
