Yeah, it sounds like she's mentally unstable and/or seeking attention. This whole thing grand jury thing is totally ridiculous. Manning is breaking the law by refusing to testify, which is fine (I break lots of laws I don't care about either). But you really can't have it both ways: break the laws and claim you are being unjustly punished for your crime. Moreover, there's really no practical reason why she can't just testify to the closed=door grand jury and then tell the press what she said or just leak it online or something.

I know this sounds a little harsh and I will probably get downvoted for this, but I think she wants to be in jail. Maybe it's better to be relevant (at least in some tangential sense) and imprisoned then free and forgotten. I've certainly met some people who might make a similar trade-off, usually because their egos' require it.

Also, let's look at her lawyer's statement: "Manning has previously indicated that she will not betray her principles, even at risk of grave harm to herself," her legal team said, adding, "Her actions today evidence the strength of her convictions, as well as the profound harm she continues to suffer as a result of her 'civil' confinement."

Her suicide attempts (if they are even that, I'm not 100% sure) have been a constant theme with her throughout the years. Most likely, as stated above, they are caused by either an underlying mental issue (I'm sure gender dysphoria has high co-morbidity with a ton of other mental illnesses) or are a cry for help/attention. What doesn't make any sense, to me, is that her suicide is some how proof of her convictions. Like you stated, she is scheduled for a hearing on Friday that could potentially set her free.

It seems to me like you're suggesting that the government (or someone) tried to kill her? While I'm sure she would be flattered, there's a zero probability chance that's what happened.
Low interest rates have not funded R&D. R&D is at a record low. I imagine this is because perceived growth is low. Physically, a lot of things can't improve a whole lot more from where they are now. We've picked the low hanging fruits of almost every industry.

Tell HN: Buffer, Gitlab, Basecamp and others alike, this is your moment!
Answering a question - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22554377 - I realized this is the moment for companies like Gitlab and Buffer to share more about their philosophy, strategy and choices. With a little pun intended, this is the moment for companies with ideas like Gitlab and Buffer to infect and spread. Share your ideas!

I think that 30/40 years from now we will be in a very different place wrt to congregating and working from one location. 100 years ago cars came and replaced the horse and literally shaped our geography, how we live and what we are capable of. The horse did the same prior to the car. In that sense humanity evolved faster in someplaces than other, but evolved we did. We were more happier because of our expanded 'reach' on different dimensions provided by these new 'technologies and ways of life'. And after a long time of status quo (horses and then cars) those same sources and the way an individual life stems from it perhaps lead to more unhappiness than happiness - in the case of horses - streets where filled with horseshit which lead to disease etc. In case of cars we have horrible traffic, cities that are filled roads and streets that are more friendly for cars than people as everybody tried to congregate for work and living due to the concentration of economic opportunity. During this time computer and internet changed our capabilities again and they are reshaping access to economic opportunity. however the status quo model of life lead by cars and what they ensued still hold us back I think. And now this viral outbreak almost creates 'space' for new ideas to be considered or fringe ideas (remote companies/work) to be reconsidered which companies like buffer and gitlab have been a champion of and are being ahead of the curve in some ways.

There are different levels/types of economic opportunities -

I guess it depends on your particular skill sets and interests.

I am trained as an electronic repair technician but have been working the last three years on developing a small farm, which fortunately my region is comming into the growing season so I am predicting an abundance in the next few months.

If for some reason my crops fail my plan is to get involved in repairing, repurposing and recycling of consumer items. I might even learn how to thread a sewing machine as I believe these skills are always in demand, especially in times of a depressed market.

Edit

My city has a electronics reuse center in it where people bring old or slightly damaged consumer products to divert them from the landfill, these items are sold a fraction of their value(just enough to support the program) and this is a great source for my side income.

To add a little nuance:

A global retailer you've definitely heard of that used to own stores in Germany spent a lot of time preparing for Y2K. This was a long and painful process, but it got done in time.

But problems still slipped through. These problems ended up not being that big and visible because a large percentage of the code base had just been recently vetted, and a useful minority of that had been recently updated. Every single piece had clear and current ownership.

Lastly, there was an enormous amount of vigilance on The Big Night. Most of the Information Systems Division was on eight hour shifts, with big overlap between shifts at key hours (midnight in the US), and everyone else was on call.

As midnight rolled through Germany, all of the point of sale systems stopped working.

This was immediately noticed (the stores weren't open, but managers were there, exercising their systems), the responsible team started looking into it within minutes, a fix was identified, implemented and tested within tens of minutes, and rolled out in less than an hour.

Pre-Y2K effort and planning was vital; during-Y2K focus, along with the indirect fruits of the prior work, was also critical.

Hmm. Maybe Webstorm 2021.1 should have comment translation as a feature.
For the integers larger than zero example, I'd say the earliest archetype for a good design (that I know of) is Ada, which lets you declare a type with a limited numeric range like so:

type MyType is range min .. max

There's already a built-in for positive integers, which is defined as

subtype Positive is Integer range 1 .. Integer'Last;

Note the subtype there. Ada recognizes that a positive integer is a type of integer, but not the other way around. And it enforces that in the type checking: You can pass any Positive into a function that accepts Integer, but you can't just pass an Integer into a function that accepts Positive. This happens even though they're not classes and this isn't OOP. Ada does have object-oriented constructs, but they are a later addition to the language. I have never used Ada professionally, but my understanding (based on book learning) is that it tends to be used conservatively.

It's similar in OCaml. Despite the O standing for "object-oriented", creating classes isn't necessarily considered idiomatic. The other tools in the chest tend to be conceptually simpler, and therefore to be preferred when they will get the job done.

"define your own operations" is a requirement I'm having a hard time making sense of. To me, that is just another way of saying, "define functions", which is a feature of every language I've used except for one really ancient dialect of BASIC.
Well that would be an interesting test; it is not that easy to do that while it is absolutely trivial (I would say run-of-the-mill) to abuse design patterns.
You can of course have any opinion you want, but at least present the actual rational for why patents exist. Let me attempt to state it, whether you agree with it or not.

A company may invent a mechanism or process which is better for its intended use than what came before. Sometimes it takes a lot of money and time and it doesn't always work. In the case of a mechanism, once it is sold, competitors could take it apart and reap the benefits without having expended the money and effort to create something new. If patents were killed off, it would discourage people and companies from making those investments. It has varied over the centuries, but currently a patent gives a 20 year time limited "monopoly" on the thing invented.

In the case of a process (vs a mechanism), without patents, a company is highly motivated to keep the process a trade secret. Even with patents a company may prefer to take that route. What do patents offer here? In exchange for disclosing the process, the company is granted that monopoly. In theory disclosing the process will spur the next round of improvements and help the system.

The problem isn't necessarily patents, but the process. Patent examiners are not paid all that well and literally have minutes to research and approve or deny a patent. They need to crank through multiple patent applications a day. And companies abuse the system. Secondly, the practice in patent law is to write the patents in such a way as to disclose as little as possible and claim as much as possible using obtuse language. If you read really old patents an ordinary person could understand most of them. Today I can read a patent in a domain I'm expert in and it is very hard to follow.

There should be some penalty for filing obvious patents, and part of the penalty would be to pay for for more patent examiners, and to pay the legal costs of the challenging party.

I suggest Biden needs to start presidenting now instead of waiting possibly until January; he can show leadership by announcing he will no longer actively campaign against Sanders, and coordinating with Bloomberg to get information and resources where they're most needed now.

If there's no expected risk premium, then buying stocks has a 0 expected return, and it clearly doesn't matter how you buy them.

> the total invested amounts at risk are different

Obviously, you need to invest the same amount in total to have a valid comparison. If your argument is that DCA is investing a lower amount, and is therefore lower risk, then the answer is that a lump-sum strategy investing the same amount as DCA is both lower risk and higher return, and therefore strictly better.

I agree and stories like this make the blood boil. You have a good idea though, lets create machine learning to create patent generators, and automate the submission of those patents. Then lets use ML to draft potential patent lawsuits with the patents we automatically generated.
I guess that it _would_ be possible to have a hard "edition lint" that would basically forbid you from _implementing_ description in a 2021 or whatever crate. It would still exist and be callable, but no new (non-default) implementations if you want to use new editions.

Hm. Not sold. Sure, you can write terrible code with classes. But that also works great without classes.

> I’m terrible at making good abstractions with classes.

Then don’t. Or only do it after everything is done and you have explored the domain. Don’t try to be clever from the start. Unless you have understood everything, it will backfire.

> But as other classes extend and override those methods to address their version of the problem space, they usually end up having some other responsibilities in addition to the original task.

Inheritance gone wrong. If a derived type behaves differently, it should not be a derived type. See Liskov substitution principle. Just because a hash map is somewhat like a list of key/value pairs doesn’t mean it should derive from one.

It could also be a problem of missing separation of concerns/responsibilities, which is entirely unrelated to OOP.

> Secondly, I’ve noticed that classes have a tendency to grow large.

Yes, I did see many big classes. They were always the result of... missing separation of concerns/responsibilities. The fabled god objects.

The section about state management appears to be very much React-specific, too. So, not about classes.

Yep.

CEO of our company didn't like the progress on one of our frontends, so he took a weekend to write a whole new one himself, claiming it was "almost done." It was, as you may predict, nowhere near done, but still shoved into Git and became the new frontend.

In reality he seemed offended that he didn't know much about how we (the frontend team) built it and he didn't like that, so he built the way he thinks he knows, which turned out to just be a hodge podge of code from various tutorials and no singular vision for how the application functions. There are no less than three different paradigms in use in this codebase, and none of them really play well together.

The end result is that it took us nearly as long as it took us to develop the first version to bring the second version up to feature parity, but now we have a giant mess of a codebase that was very strictly written to do exactly the things the CEO wrote it to do. Predictably, development slowed to a crawl pretty quickly because we're essentially forced to rewrite every single individual piece that needs touching.

I told them this was a bad idea and would only make things take far, far longer than finishing the one we had. The whole reason this was done? The CEO and CTO found some bugs but didn't want to file them on the issue tracker. They decided it was better that the CEO write his own, despite the CEO having exactly zero experience with frontend development. This is just one of a long line of bizarre decisions that I have accurately predicted would only cost us more time and money than is worth it.

We're currently looking for new jobs.

To take your question literally, it's probably because you don't eat the market by offering hackability. It doesn't hurt, and it can probably only help, but it's not going to help very much when you're talking about the mass market.
Well, let's say you don't successfully negotiate over licensing terms and the other side continues anyway. When you sue, you will not be awarded damages more than what a reasonable royalty would be. Here, treble damages for willful infringement act as a pressure for actors to accept fair licensing terms. So the point being: you can't really use your patent to force unfair licensing terms because in the end a court will never give you more than a reasonable license would result in.
Terrible analogy. You don't die if your OS crashes. If a bridge or a building collapses, it's very likely to kill people.
