No, you are not wrong. I am not at all representative of the general homeless population in SF. I doubt anyone is. The homeless is probably one of the most diverse of any classifiable group in San Francisco. People are homeless for numerous reasons, and I bet any similarity you find is only superficial.

Note that I never considered my self homeless. My 1981 VW vanagon—which we named Sunny—was a plenty good home for me. It was the first home I bought with my partner and we had a really good life in it. We would have stayed in it longer if it wasn’t so difficult to immigrate into the USA. But I know—and understand why—many people consider that homelessness.
I expected perhaps they would eventually limit the number of build minutes you got per month.

I honestly did not expect they would eliminate free CI for open source altogether. With virtually no notice. Many people STILL haven't noticed the announcmeent, the FAQ is still misleading them.
That’s 51/40 in favor of spending more over those 8 years and in 2012 SF wasn’t frugal. Some increase is justified but not more than 1 to 1.
> you should have very good reasons to use it when "starting to build a new software system".

And three of those very good reasons are:

1) you're writing a library and you'd like to make it usable from a number of other languages as well, the most popular of which are at least partially implemented in C or C++ themselves to some degree, eg. Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, Haskell etc. Writing said library in C (in particular) makes the library much more accessible from those languages.

2) the platform you're writing for is partially if not largely written in C or C++, the most popular of which are Windows, MacOS, Linux etc. So the toolchain/runtimes used to build the systems are already supported, extremely mature and well tested.

3) the platform you're writing for is especially space constrained (eg. embedded Linux), also fits the criteria for (2) above, and where performance may also be a factor due to reduced CPU/bus speed, availability of RAM and storage. For every interpreter or JIT compiler you want to add to those kind of systems for a higher level language, you can normally fit a larger number of C or C++ programs to implement your device's required functionality.

There is far more years of effort required yet to overcome the inertia of the above than the average HN webdev would realise.

A pet peeve of mine is demonstrating things through programming than can much more easily and clearly be shown with math.
This is honestly a great way for tech entrepreneurs to experience Nordic living. The fact is Finland has one of the most startup friendly environments around:

— top schools (Aalto U. produces incredibly talented engineers)

— startup friendly ecosystem (cheap rents, cheap internet)

— Finnish work culture (direct, no nonsense, hard working but balanced)

— fantastic food and beverage scene in downtown Helsinki

My wife is originally from Finland but we live in SF now, but as soon as COVID is over we'll all go back to Helsinki so I can start Webflow's first EU office there. Hope this program stays around for that!
I mean, I expected this to happen, but with some amount of lead time. In this case they literally made the change the night before they announced it!
The housing options are there, just not the city option.
similar machinery is employed for hypersonic missiles - the plasma from the special ablation layer on the nose of the missile plays similar role to that bubble wrap around torpedo. Also if i remember correctly SpaceX reverse engine firing in the stratosphere isn't that much to slow down and more to provide the plasma wrapper to decrease the atmospheric friction heating. For a space gun of the future i think it also would be possible to "preheat" the path ahead using the something like very powerful laser to decrease the air friction.

Usually arrival is a Poisson distribution and work time is an exponential distribution, IIRC. But I’ll admit I’m rusty on the stats since it’s been nearly 15 years since I was in college, and professionally I haven’t had to use it much.
Not referring to hot reloads.

To do a simple blue green deploy you just have to use the builtin node system to make a cluster, and use :global to detect if there are any downversion nodes, if the current node is up version, it slays a downversion node and your external restart mechanism (either erlangs heart, systemd, kubernetes, or Amazon elb, or whatever brings back the node but with the newer code).
To the best of my non-lawyer-y knowledge, neither of those is the case. Rather, if the DMCA requests are not responded to, then the host may be liable for the infringing content as well. The sequence of events is as follows, with "host" referring to the hosting service, "user" referring to the person who uploaded material, and "lawyer" referring to the person representing the copyright holder.

- User uploads material to the host. Host did not make editorial decisions on the content, and is therefore not liable for infringement in the content (safe harbor).

- Lawyer sends DMCA takedown notice, attesting that they believe the content infringes lawyer's copyright. (Does not have to actually infringe, just need to be a statement that they believe it does.)

- Host receives notice, and now has a choice. If they take the material down, they have no legal liability to either user or lawyer. If they leave it up, lawyer can sue host along with user for infringement.

- (Assuming host takes material down), host then notifies user.

- User can respond with a counter notice, under penalty of perjury, they believe the takedown notice was mistakenly given.

- Host tells lawyer that a counter notice was given.

- Lawyer now has a choice. Option A is to file a lawsuit against user. In that case, material stays down until the lawsuit concludes. Option B is to sit in sullen silence. If no lawsuit is filed in 14 days, host can put material back up without any liability.

There are a couple major problems with this. The original DMCA request isn't under penalty of perjury, but the reply is. The original DMCA request doesn't require a copyright to be held, only a "good faith belief" that it infringes. The duration of 14 days may have made sense in 1998, with large companies being the only media producers, but now that takes a video down for several times the duration of interest, effectively killing it.
I said "assuming". In no way I was pretending to be correct. Just a wild guess.
Sure but to get satellite internet, you need to provide some id to the satellite internet company and they can probably track you back.
It's an idiosyncrasy of the site that we avoid highlighting things in titles ("stories are community property, and submitting one doesn't give anyone the right to editorialize them").

I agree that the title we ended up with is suboptimal! "Exploitable" is a word I'd have been comfortable seeing there. But you take the good with the bad with the HN title rule; the site is primarily about discussion, not about being a noticeboard, and titles determine the discussion we have.

> => "A two-axle truck with a gross vehicle weight up to 16 tonnes and an excellent working environment for the driver. Volvo Trucks can deliver complete vehicles for urban transport like deliveries."

This is still significantly heavier than what most courier companies like FedEx and DHL use; within Europe most use Ford Transits and similar, which have a maximum gross weight of 3.5t (this is partly due to licensing; these vehicles can be driven on a normal "car" driving license).
Your feelings about this version seem out of control...
I don't know what ISP the OP is using, but Singtel did exactly this. I got a /64 with 6rd. It was quite horrible and the main reason I switched ISP's. Now I have a static /48, which is what all ISP's should be doing in my opinion.
The original complaint was mostly around layout patterns. I'm not super familiar with XAML, but "offloading that all into writing custom C# code to lay things out at pixel locations" certainly doesn't sound like a great dev experience, and definitely doesn't sound very responsive. Does XAML have anything comparable to flexbox/grid for building responsive layouts?
While they do exist, internet-connected machines are relatively rare. Unfortunately guidance has been inconsistent. Some states have qualification standards that prohibit network connections on tabulators, some states have standards that allow it, and some states don't have standards at all. In non-binding recommendations, the NIST is against network connectivity but the FEC takes a softer line on the topic. This is a great area to lobby state governments, all state standards should prohibit internet connectivity.

Generally, from a network security perspective, electronic pollbook systems are a much greater concern as they are connected over the internet as a matter of standard practice, and it's difficult to avoid this while preserving functionality. There are also more, smaller vendors for EPBs and they receive significantly less scrutiny or security review than tabulators.
In the case of the Soviet Va-111 Shkval, the intent was to fire the supercavitating torpedo at the enemy after the enemy already fired at you.
It would just become another variable in pricing land. It would actually slow down appreciation because taxes would have to be priced into every transaction. You can't borrow against collateral you don't have, so lenders would obviously calculate the appreciation taxes due if they need to foreclose.
Sorry you focused on my comment about coasts. I was really just trying to point out that another pandemic can happen and can happen soon.
Yeah, I tried swapping my home server stuff to Kubernetes and regretted it. Not only was it much more complex and indirect, but it required more maintenance. After some months on Kubernetes my home lights, which were driven by a simple daemon, stopped working. Kubernetes was on fire, and it was hours of pasting random incantations to get it back up again. I ripped out Kubernetes, set it up in docker-compose, and it's been fine since.

I knew it was another stack that made the switch.

I use emacs for Clojure and I've been using VSCode for Typescript projects. Both had the largest communites of relevant developers making the best tools. And VSCode has the best TS plugins and the latest cool stuff.

Plus with VSCode I can use VIM mode, which does enough of the job (you know than 90%, minus the 10% which will never be the same).

But I still use Vim for everything else (RoR, JS, Elixir, Haskell, etc). Nothing beats vims speed, portability, or my familiarity and perfection of the config I spent 10yrs tweaking to my liking,
Funny, mine is the exact opposite of yours.

This just isn’t really true from a linguistic point of view any more.

Most people use Linux to mean one of many full operating system distributions, and then refer to the kernel as ‘the Linux kernel’. Gnu gets referred to in relation to the many tools. That’s just how the language has worked out.

The comment is certainly true in terms of who contributed various components, although many distributions do increasingly contain critical components that have nothing to do with GNU.

They have been largely supplanted by Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. A resurgence in the concept of personal websites/digital gardens and protocols like Gemini is encouraging.
That's not what they're for? It's to mediate between groups of people who want different things, or who want different people to represent them/hold power. You're supposed to know what you want, and who you want to represent you, and voting is just the agreement between everyone of how to move forward regardless of what you want. Unfortunately that's in theory only.

Let me tell you about a crime called perjury...
I have hired people in the farm who were getting homeless benefits. I have also hired juvenile girls who lived in a half way house as part of their rehabilitation.

The homeless worker ..one of them..had more benefits than the young girls. I wish I could have worked more with them. People need help. The right help at the right time for the right people is more effective than blanket free for alls.

He was living in his grandmother’s two million dollar Mountain View home and the first thing he asked me was if he could smoke his pot because granny wouldn’t approve...while the girls were huddled and chaperoned at all times.

I would pay more in social taxes if I could choose the programs and if there were more transparency as to where that extra money went.
No, sorry, I’ve always been kinda curious myself. I’m just a dev though.
How relevant are those numbers for a state with a population as high as California?

I guess I could see 200k being a high number for Idaho though. It's funny that you don't see Arkansas, Louisiana, and so forth get any transplants. Homes are pretty cheap in the South in general. It's just hot in the summer, education ain't great, and crime is high.
It was an experiment- scratching an itch / problem I saw at work at first. But I knew I wanted to be self employed (“entrepreneur”) since I was nine... so had the goal from the start to eventually start a company. It just so happens that doing an open source product turned out be great way to test the idea without the risk of actually starting the company from the get go.

At the time of Doom's release many or most DOS/Windows PCs still didn't have hardware FPUs https://www.xtof.info/blog/?p=931 I think that using hardware floating-point would have prevented some of the early console releases too (particularly the SNES?)
Looks great. Unfortunately it overrides the back button, which could be an issue.
Yes? That sounds about right.
I actually upvoted that because I glad you left this comment. It provides an essential perspective for the global distribution of wealth. USA is the richest and the most powerful nation in the world and it is a ridiculous power dynamic that has no justification. The USA cannot provide housing option for some of its population, but even worse, the USA consistently steals wealth from other nations leaving them impoverished just so they can provide cheap goods for their own citizens.

It is always good to get a reminder that for every USA resident the government leaves behind there are hundreds of impoverished non-USA citizen that still has to pay for it.
IIRC you already swear under penalty of perjury as part of filing a DMCA request, so presumably you could sue for money and include this fact as part of your argument for punitive damages (IANAL).
There are two scenarios though: a) you know the network and know you can rely on router.lan or whatever else the manual tells you, or b) you don't know the network and you'll have to check the gateway / route table anyway, so you can copy-paste. Or c) it's not a simple home network and you can design naming as you want / have routers documented.

Sure, 10.0.0.1 is convenient, but my router changed from 10.0.0.1 to 10.1.1.1 with a firmware update. Not relying on remembering that IP would've been better.
>You seem to be implying that the divide is not rural or urban, but whites vs blacks, or rural whites vs everyone else.

I'm implying that race and class divisions are more relevant in American culture and politics than rural vs. urban, yes. As is right vs left. The narrative that the primary motive for Trump's support is a deep cultural anger by rural Americans against city-dwellers is entirely populist fiction.

>There is half the country supporting a candidate like trump because they are disgruntled of the other candidates.

Only about half of eligible voters even voted in 2016, and only half of them voted for Trump, a slight majority voted for Clinton. And eligible voters comprise about a third of the total population. Even if you took for granted that all rural voters support Trump, and all urban voters don't, Trump supporters would still be in the minority.

>and you don't get to wash your hands off the fact that the country is divided

Are you trying to imply there's blood on my hands? What precisely are you implying that I should be ashamed of?

Your increasingly accusatory tone makes me not want to continue this conversation further.

Maybe I am being dumb (Finnish application officers, do not read this) but I dont understand what the offer is. A 90 days business visa?

Forget it, I just read this:

> The “90-Day Finn” program is funded by the Helsinki Business Hub and is specifically targeted at “technical professionals” on the west coast of the United States. Hub will fund the “90-day free transfer package to Helsinki” and invite children.

This an attempt to "steal" SV engineers, I am not in that category, so back at the end of the line for me.
I'd like to see Los Angeles do the same thing for highly compensated entertainers. If they make more than a multiple vs. average service worker, tax them.
I think it's a perfect analogy for something that's meant to be very personal to you, grow very slowly over a long long time, and that will inevitably get organised or reshuffled as you discover that your needs or personal preferences changed.
Why not a two stage torpedo to solve the problem of the launching submarine having to come close? First stage is a conventional (but maybe larger than usual) torpedo that drives--with guidance--from the sub into the 15km range, second stage is the supercavitating torpedo that goes that last 15km or so.

Granted, that would require the submarine to have much longer torpedo tubes.
So true.

However...

... all my grandparents were spry into their 80s and lived to their 90s. There was a an article awhile back that the most longed lived or healthy groups were New Jersey Asian females and South Dakota male farmers.

I’ve been at a desk for 20 years and I’m almost crippled.

The difference is the variety of work. Fix fence in the morning, do the manual stuff before it gets too hot. In the afternoon get in the ACed tractor (if you’re lucky). Get back in the house at 10pm. Maybe not till age midnight if the combine breaks, etc.

Lots of physical activity, lots of fresh veggies and a bit of fruit seems to be the recipe for a long healthy life. Wealth not likely or guaranteed.

For better or worse that life is economically impossible now.

Barring federal help, it's possible, or even likely, that we will see greater taxation in many local jurisdictions (cities, counties, states) in coming months, because they are close to running out of cash as a result of the pandemic's impact on tax collections.

The Wall Street Journal recently published a good summary of the potential cash crisis at https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-states-face-biggest-cash-cr...

Quoting from the article:

"US States Face Biggest Cash Crisis Since the Great Depression: The drop in tax revenue has led to a total shortfall expected in the hundreds of billions of dollars—greater than 2019’s K-12 education budget for every state combined, or more than twice the amount spent that year on state roads and other transportation infrastructure."

Again, this sounds like something that happens before the theoretical audit. An audit by definition happens after the results are reported. It is a process meant to double-check that the original process, which you describe above, gave an accurate result.

If you stake everything you have on the original process being incorruptible, then your only response to an audit that shows a discrepancy must be "the audit is wrong". That's unlikely to satisfy many people; if that is your only strategy for dealing with audits, you are running an inauditable process.
I like generics because it actually solves a lot of things that OOP and inheritance were supposed to without turning your dependencies into a ball of mud.

After 30 years of mediocre programming things I hate are unplanned/hidden side effects, train wrecks due to mutable state, and out of control dependencies. Error handling at this point seems like Weltschmerz.
