All money is dirty.

Most people don't question the provenance of their money, but every bill in your wallet contains trace amounts of cocaine. Every dollar you have has been involved in some sort of grey or black market transaction. Your money has also been used to fund an enormous amount of legally sanctioned atrocities around the world. You're not a bad person for accepting it. The money itself is amoral.

When people talk about cracking down on "tainted dollars", they're really talking about power. In 1970, Richard Nixon signed the Bank Secrecy Act and turned money into a system of control, the system of control that attempts to use money as a political tool in order to control who is able to send and receive it, who they are able to send money to, and to have complete surveillance of all financial transactions.

Your money isn't really yours if an authoritarian leader can dictate how you can spend it or seize it at any time. Andreas Antonopoulos is a good person to listen to on this topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyK4P7ZdOK8

Honestly, I love it! Thanks for that. :) Yeah I care about this: we have scaled bakeries that make lots of stuff, and we've industrialized it and commercialized it and ... etc. And that's great! But we also bake at home in our kitchen, for our families. We do things in between: small businesses that serve their communities. I want that we do that with software, and I want it to be as widespread as is with things we take that more for granted about like cooking. We're doing it already: when you write a blog post, you are producing a software experience for someone else. I hope that over time we spread the empowerment of creation of more kinds of software experiences across more people, and also without needing to make everyone feel like it needs to be about scaling: gardening, not necessarily agriculture.

Fair points, but web today is not what web was intended for. It was supposed to be a document delivery network, but it became an application development platform.

Why? Because we need a sandboxed, distributed application delivery platform, and every previous solution failed or didn't catch on: Java Applets, ActiveX, Flash, Silverlight, etc.

The business case of developing client-side applications trumps the need for a faster web at the moment. Is it ideal? No. Can it be fixed? Yes. How? Come up with a new rich application delivery solution that works in every modern browser in every modern os (mobile/desktop).

EDIT: I partially blame Adobe's hubris for the current situation. They should have made Flash player technology free & open-source and focused on monetizing Flash creation suites. Instead they kept it closed, and that led to Apple dropping it in iOS. After that, for all intents and purposes, Flash was done.

I know not everyone would agree with me - but I think local governments almost always agree that attracting high earners is good for the city. Not only do they make schools and local government better funded but the raising of prices usually means higher wages (and more possible jobs) for the working class. There is a reason once Detroit lost its high wage workers the city sorta collapsed onto itself.

Breitbart is terrible. On the other hand, Google is clearly manipulating the search results in order to affect the US Presidential Election, and Wikipedia certainly isn’t a reliable source of reputation.
Please consider doing basic research before being very critical. The wait time for Indian and Chinese born H1B immigrants to get a Green Card (permanent residency) is almost two decades. Hence, it is indeed not possible for the author (India born) to have a Green Card/Citizenship in a span of a decade as a H1B holder.

Then it's only a matter of time before they learn to love the well being gift that is Kotlin
Gecko, which is the rendering engine used by Firefox, has existed for longer than Blink/Webkit (powering Electron).
It also supported a UI toolkit (described in XML and a wrapper on Gtk etc.) called XUL [1]. I think OP is talking about this. Mozilla never tried to make it easy to use Gecko (plus the Spidermonkey JS engine) as a re-usable library outside Firefox, making something like Electron really difficult to do. On the other hand, Blink is a lot easier to integrate, which is why Electron exists (as a thin wrapper over Blink+V8).

Yes. The immigration system in the US is complicated. There's a diversity quota based on the nation you were born in and there's a lottery involved. The other way is the Employment-Based Green Card.

For a person like the OP who is of Indian origin, they are unable to go through the diversity based lottery and have to go through the employment based one. Depending on the subcategory you apply in, your wait times could be as long as 10 years.

On a personal note, my opinion is that the US immigration also places too much importance on the nation of origin. In my case for example, I've spent over 20 years of my life in Canada and am a Canadian Citizen, but if I wanted to immigrate to the US, my nation of origin (where I was born) would be the deciding factor on what category I could apply to.
You constantly have to use Java libraries. Which means you have to understand the Java ecosystem. Which increases complexity a lot, since that ecosystem is very mature but also often deeply layered, complex and full of historical baggage

This problem is bigger in Clojure which has a smaller ecosystem than Scala and is why I don't pick it for writing "real world" applications in it.
> We also have the recent opioids crisis. It didn't work out very well.

The opioid crisis has been terrible, but it didn't happen as a result of drug laws becoming more lax. If anything, existing laws made the crisis much worse because people who became addicted to prescription opioids had no way to get a fix, so they were forced to purchase illegally off the street. If an American doctor knowingly gave an addict a prescription opioid for relief, they could be arrested as a "dealer".

The countries that have had the most success in fighting hard drug use, such as Portugal, did exactly the opposite of the punitive approach people in the U.S. consistently advocate for. Instead, they decriminalized drugs and put the resources from police enforcement and imprisonment into rehabilitation instead. Instead of arresting doctors, safe injection sites allowed for individuals to safely manage their habit while they work toward improving their lives.

If the U.S. spent even a fraction of its war on drugs budget on rehabilitation we would have far fewer addicts, not more. I don't think the "if it's legal, there will be more addicts" argument holds any water.

> "If you think your views offend a lot of people, doesn't that mean you should maybe examine why you have those views..."

Being an atheist or agnostic used to be offensive to a lot of people. Should people have "examined why they have those views" and the West have remained a thoroughly religious society instead of secular? Obviously not. Other examples abound, including the transition to democracy from monarchy and the civil rights movement itself.

Your argument is basically conservatism in a nutshell: whatever the current zeitgeist is or was at any given time was "right" and things should remain or should have remained that way indefinitely.

Based on the name I am assuming that Op is from India. For Indians it is not laziness but the fact that the current waiting time to get a greencard, which is basically permanent residency and the right to stay in the US for over 60 days after you loose a job, is over 100 years right now - yup over a century, not 10 or 15 years which was the case till 2015.

This is primarily due to a large number of Indians applying for greencards and the rule that only a certain number of people per country can be awarded one. My friends and colleagues from India who have spend their entire adult lives in the USA and now reaching their early thirties have still not yet gotten their residency - let alone citizenship.

It was one of the major reasons for me, as an Indian, to leave the US and come back to India - there was no way to get permanent residency within a reasonable timeframe.
Worksnaps Tutorial: How to Interpret Inactive Time
Due to its legacy Fortran (similar to COBOL) is still being heavily used inside its niche application i.e. numerical computation. The irony is that some of the languages touted be Fortran replacement, Matlab, Python and to some extent Julia, are still using library that's written in Fortran (together with assembly) due its superior performance.

D shows that you can be in one language and still performs very fast. With its numerical library you can get both productivity and performance that is even better than the OpenBLAS (Matlab, Numpy and Julia library are based on) [1].

Thanks for the share. Interestingly, I began almost the identical program--two weeks ago. My sleep has gone from about 45 minutes a night to 2.5-4 hours.

I had tried all of these things before, but when I consulted my sleep doctor he pointed out something that changed my life. Previously I had tried to wake up at say 6 or 7am, on the theory that if I'm going to bed at 9-10am anyway, what does it matter if I try to wake up early? It would be horrific either way.

But he recommended a later wakeup time (10am) and to roll it back a few minutes a week. That single change made the difference.

Thanks for caring. I've bookmarked the site.

Last night I had a pretty rough time but in general things have looked up a little each day. Biggest improvement I can remember since trying sleeping pills, which only work for a month or so on me.

FWIW, as an iOS-centric programmer who’s also implemented a bunch of scripts and several moderate API projects in Swift/Linux, I haven’t found the OSS Foundation to be particularly lacking. The only quirk I can remember having to work around is the fact that for some reason, all the networking code (i.e., URLSession) is pulled out into a separate module, FoundationNetworking.

FWIW, looking through that list you linked to, it seems most things are complete apart from relative edge cases (NSGeometry), fairly Apple-specific (Bundle), or replaced by something newer (NSCoder). The big one that jumps out to me as being a larger issue is the URL authentication stuff… so I guess steer clear if you need to handle basic auth/Kerberos/etc. The XML parsing being mostly incomplete is a bummer, too. :(

Ultimately, though, I’ve found Swift on Linux to have everything I need for what I’ve been building with it. Obviously, YMMV, but (and not just for you, anyone else reading as well), I wouldn’t be scared off just because Foundation isn’t 100% complete.

###

Edit: that being said, this is also just a defense/rebuttal to the comment I’m replying to. Swift isn’t the answer to all projects; I still reach for Clojure as my first choice for large API projects, mostly due to my own preferences.
Right, it necessarily affect much in terms of the way the program's functionality is written, but hardly irrelevant or a "red herring". The fact that any language can be compiled to a portable assembly language is important for the model we are discussing, because it isn't bound to local machine architecture. If a browser is simply a remote-program-sandbox, it is an important feature that remote programs are portable to the same degree web assembly is. Otherwise you'd have a remote app that people on ARM couldn't execute, and things of that nature.

It also isn't strictly true what you say, that "anything useful" is achieved via APIs. There are a number of examples of native libraries being compiled to web assembly with varying degrees of success. Just because what you write is all API based doesn't make it universally true for all programs everywhere.
We have a Thermomix TM4, two models down from the current TM6. It's very handy for a lot of cooking; makes rice pudding in a flash!

Now, I keep getting invitations to upgrade for the new one. The TM6 is a lot less noisy, and that would be amazing as mine is probably audible across the street - but, and this is a massive BUT: It has a touch screen interface, introduced with the TM5.

NO WAY. The TM4's physical interface is brilliant in its simplicity; every button does one thing, and one thing only; the motor speed knob is big and tactile.

I don't need nor want the complexity and latency of a touchscreen, and dealing with crappy firmware updates. Hopefully I'll be able to keep servicing mine for the longest time.
That's a good way to describe the feel. I think it only truly gets ugly when you do something like Arc<Mutex<Box<HashMap<String, Vec<String>>>>>. But the beauty of "(almost) everything is an expression" makes up for that.

The developers running it should be able to accept monies from the users of the product, especially donations. They have built something and are keeping the end users interests at heart while evolving the capability. It needs to be sustainable, else the intrinsic motivation will dry up.

The adblockplus model is extortion. They're not incentivized to serve the end user well, especially when their primary source of revenue is the advertisers the users are attempting to block.

It's all still "overwhelmingly positive" to set out the problem you started taking it to solve...

But now that you're making me unpack it, I guess it's because when I'm on stimulants I'm working. When I'm off stimulants, I'm resting but very exhausted from the stimulants.

It makes me into an efficient worker drone though, which is the problem I set out to solve in the first place. So... mission accomplished?

If I could somehow make the same money without having to drug myself, I think I would feel better about the situation.
How is DACA helping people on H-1B? It explicitly _excludes_ legal immigrant children who are waiting in greencard backlogs.
> For thousands of years, living people breathed, dead people didn’t, and no one knew why. The explanations that passed for medicine during that time sound absurd now. The early Greeks, most notably Homer, believed that humans had two souls – one immortal, in the head, and one mortal, in the chest – and that a baby’s first breath drew in that mortal soul. The last exhale released it.

The biblical view is also noteworthy. When man was created, God took "dust of the ground" and gave it "the breath of life", thus creating a "living soul".

Interestingly enough, a soul is defined this way as is a living, breathing creature – and not a ghost, as most people believe.

Some day we’ll collectively learn to replace all the crude beeping with less abrasive, natural sounds like the gentle and informative clicking of the iPod’s touch wheel. Think the crunch of a fallen leaf, the satisfying zip of a sweater, the subtle scrape of a ceramic mug being hastily lifted—distinct and deliberately applied to build conventions like we have with e.g. red/green colors. Shrill beeps will be the tell that dates an antique.
It's worth nothing that the ICIJ uses some pretty neat tooling to analyze data like this. They've now developed their own platform called Datashare[0] for analyzing documents that includes functionality like entity extraction via NLP.

Ask HN: New career for a faltering academic? (Experimental physics post-doc)
What is an interesting career to pivot into for someone who's spent 10+ years in physics research?

At the age of ~35, I'm about to start my fifth academic appointment at the postdoc/staff scientist/research fellow level. The apparent lack of progress, both career and research-wise, has made me want to consider a chance of scenery.

In my present line of work, one picks up a great deal of knowledge about the various things needed to make the lab "tick", ranging from high-tech instruments to utilities, without ever really attaining a professional level of expertise in any particular topic.

Are there any enterprises willing to overlook a lack of formal qualifications for a jack of many trades with a PhD? I believe there are many competent people in the same boat across the various STEM disciplines.
Yeah, compiling in Rust was the bane of my existence. I tried to stay on old versions for as long as possible to avoid compiling.

At some points, I'd basically have to wait 10-15min.. so I'd go for a walk or grab coffee. Then I'd switch to javascript and it felt like going at the speed of light. To each their own.

Not necessarily. After some point, any new Picasso was just "more of the same". The reason his later works are still valuable is mostly because of our fetishism with the products of (already) famous artists + inflation by galleries and art merchants -- not because of any unique new insight/style/proposition/innovation/inherent value they had.
