> Both are staunchly anti-immigration

Anti-immigration is a new GOP sentiment. Traditional small-government libertarianism/conservatism is pro-immigration. Look at Bush and Reagan. Anti-immigration is more in line with the labor movements, like the one run by Cesar Chavez.

> both reject social programs aimed at helping those in poverty (including healthcare, such as the Affordable Care Act

Not true at all. Many GOP members I know would be pro-gov't healthcare if we had our borders under control. The main difference I see between the dems and GOP in this regard is nationalism.

> both oppose unions

Not really. Trump's policies are incredibly popular among union members even if not popular with union leadership. Those two groups have different interests.

> It's the anti-union, labor-exploiting wealthy who are the stars of the GOP.

Who no one in the GOP likes anymore. Honestly, go read patriots.win or something, they'll tell you exactly what they think of the wealthy GOP.

As someone who comes from a rural area but drives an EV, my whole issue with trucks is that 90% of the people I know that have trucks do not need them for work, it sort of a status symbol in rural America. A lot of these trucks are huge, not your standard truck, but more like a tank.

Trucks get shitty gas mileage and potentially cause more wear and tear on the public roads, and are definitely not good for the environment.

IMO - Trucks should be taxed accordingly - if you are a farmer or work in construction you get a tax break, if you just want a truck to have one, it's gonna cost you.

Why "app"? These are services.

Like everything in security, it's about tradeoffs.

This is an argument for unikernels.

Instead, on 99.9% of your services you want to run multiple independent processes, especially in a datacenter environment: your service, web server, sshd, logging forwarder, monitoring daemon, dhcp client, NTP client, backup service.

Often some additional "bigcorp" services like HIDS, credential provider, asset management, power management, deployment tools.
I'm glad we sacrificed any concept of hierarchy, scope and structure so that CSS files can be parsed by regex.
Me too but the most scary part is that if you are in a truck (a real one) you can see way more phones.
The owners will be caught off guard with the horrible range for truck activities (towing, driving in rough terrain, climbing hills, carrying cargo).

On the other hand I suspect that significant fraction of the trucks are just used for commuting in flat suburbia so range will not matter.
As someone upthread pointed out, Home Depot will rent you an F-250 (or another model with a slightly larger bed) for $20/hr. I buy a fair amount of "too big to fit in my car" stuff from Home Depot (mostly lumber), but I'd have to be doing it multiple times a week for it to be cheaper to actually own the truck.

It's actually really nice, because if you buy your goods before you rent the truck, the person that shows you to the truck will usually help you load your stuff into it. That can be a godsend if you're trying to manipulate big sheets of plywood or something heavy. I also like that they clearly treat them as work vehicles; when they inspected it before I took off, they were only interested in fairly significant damage to the body. The truck I got already had scrapes on the body, and they really only noted the large and/or deep ones.
It's the EU. When it comes to tech they're either woefully incompetent or malicious (I'm not sure which). They talk the talk about privacy and a free society, but their moves are constantly moving things in the opposite direction.

Software development is about tradeoffs. Demoing one way to improve a simple function helps others trunk how they write code, and more importantly why they wrote specific code
This is cool. I was expecting some horrible write-a-program-in-xml style thing, rather than it declaring serialization structs--being much more practical (and useful to me). I must still be suffering from exposure to the 80s' and 90s' code-generation promises and failures.

Maybe change the title to 'into typesafe serialization code'.
Ever heard of crosswalks? They're these things that people use to travel in front of cars while they're standing still.

i think this the key thing that people that do a little math but not an immense amount don't understand: notation serves the same purpose as short hand in any other speech/communication. locally it's crystal clear, where local can be as small as that paper, that subsection, or just that paragraph (cf "the distinction is clear from context" lolol). i've written papers myself where i switch notations midstream for efficiency's sake (try defining tensors without bases but then try manipulating them without index notation...) but taking notation for granted is just as likely to get you into trouble as taking an API's promises for granted (in fact they're exactly the same things - leaky abstractions).

", I find the concept of ingesting content at your pace and then talking about it in class very interesting."

It's called a "flipped-classroom".

The teacher gives you material to read or watch at home before the class, and then in the class it just asks if anyone had any questions, and they can go over these together.

As a teacher it is super useful because you get to learn first hand which concepts the student didn't understand.

And as a student you can read or watch something whenever you want at the speed that you want, and if you don't understand something you can ask about it in class.

With some experience, teachers can also use the flipped-classroom model to focus only on the hardest part of a particular lecture. You can rely that some student is going to have trouble with it at home, so you can prepare before hand to the lecture to how to address that particular question (and once you have done the class a couple of times, you get pretty good at it).

There is no need to waste teacher and student time during 1:1 interactions on "easy" stuff that everyone can just read at home.
Most maintainers are volunteer, meaning that they spend their evenings, weekends and holidays developing the kernel because they like it, it gives them a sense of worth and fulfillment that can be hard to come across.

I don't know if you've ever talked to one, but they take a real pride in their work, most make a pitiful salary in comparison to FAANG levels but they still do it because it is full of interesting challenges you can't find anywhere else.

UMN broke that trust. No one is asking the departements to close least of all the maintainers, but you have to understand that kernel devs are not a faceless machine. They spend their limited time on something that is used to make a prodigious amount of money, while never really getting any. In that context they are more than within their rights to be livid.

Why do you think nearly the entire staff was against this? If it was a hostile takeover by a small 'non democratic' group, would you not expect that only that group would quit? Also, if you were the owner of freenode for so long, why does almost no-one in the chat logs which have been made public seem to be aware of you?
Imagine it is 2003 and you are doing a startup. You aren't deploying anything yet. You need a source code control server, a bug tracker, build servers, testing systems (so many versions of Windows), developer workstations, a file server, and various other bits of infrastructure (plus backups). This easily results in multiple systems per developer. Internet connectivity was slow and expensive which is why this kind of stuff was in the office, not at a colo. So your office needed proportionally more space per person.

Hi, I'm the author of the article. The podcast in question is The Program audio series, which had its premiere on HN three years ago [1]. Think of it as a historical podcast, but one that's set in the future and examines the present day. It's become a bit of a sleeper hit, so I'm now experimenting with different ways to grow my audiences. I haven't been able to find a lot of examples of advertising on porn sites, but that might be because people are loath to talk about it. If anyone has experiences to share, I'd be curious to hear them (and of course, feel free to ask any questions!)

Back then I loved UltraEdit. It was the fastest editor at the time and could open even the most humongous files.

Since then, I've used notepad2 for quick editing. And even for coding. Really loved notepad2. It could only edit one file at a time but that was part of its charm. I would have multiple notepad2 files open while coding.

Back in the DOS days I used Brief, Multi-Edit (syntax highlighting!!) and the Borland SideKick TSR notepad, remember that?

The problem is not that the truck is off the ground, the problem is that the top of the hood is higher than a pedestrian's head.

Trucks designed for work have low frontends for maximum visibility. I drove a 1999 Silverado for 10 years, went offroading often, it had just as much horsepower as last year's F-150, but with a front-end that was basically indistinguishable from a sedan's, instead of the new ones that are so tall they have to put cameras in the cab so that you can see what's in front of you.

The frontends of modern trucks are for intimidation, not work.
Good point.

It's also super easy in these situations at a nursery, etc.. that the car or SUV owner has to make multiple trips and waste tons of gas because the vehicle can't hold much.

People who don't own homes too easily forget it's really really common to have jobs around your house/yard where you're dealing with thousands of pounds of supplies.

You can overload an SUV/Wagon/whatever incredibly quickly with sand, mulch, rock, etc.. and it will be nowhere near full.

Help me help you, submit a windows build and I will publish :-D
I don't think spending so long on the other side of the fence has given me much special wisdom, but the first thing to mention is that, if you don't have a warm lead, you will need to take the time to prove to the company you're applying to that you have actual programming skills. Nobody wants to waste time doing this; but companies have very few reliable signals outside of an interview to differentiate you from someone who's vaguely terrible at programming. And programming job ads get flooded with low value candidates. They can't tell you apart from your resume (people lie) or your github profile (Its easy to clone semi-popular projects to pad out github repos).

> be selective where to apply

100%. And talk to your friends and get warm leads when you can. You can learn much more about what its like to work at a company by talking to people who already work there. Go in for lunch. Get a sense of the company culture. If you have skill, everyone is hiring. Ignore the recruiters and choose where you want to work.

> do not apply to job descriptions which are not at least a n 80% match with the own qualifications and interests

I disagree with this actually. Again, if you're a senior developer with skills, figure out what the company is doing and decide for yourself if you want to be part of that. Technology match matters here; but job ads are pretty uniformly terrible. Nobody knows how to write them well. I certainly don't.

> architecture and design decisions become much more important for actual senior work

Yes; from the people I interviewed, I found senior developers were competent but still a bit slower than mids at raw programming tasks. (This makes sense, because they often don't do it as much). In comparison, senior devs were much better at debugging problems and at architecture whiteboarding style questions.

> And, another question, how should one handle recruiters and interviewers which apparently have not read the resume?

The first thing to know about recruiters is they don't work for you, because you don't pay them. The way recruiting should work is like acting - you get a manager (recruiter) who knows your skillset well. They talk to lots of companies and find you a stream of good gigs you like. You pay them $10k for that service, or 2% of your salary or something. But programmers hate paying for this, so instead all the recruiters work for the companies. They get the same cut, but our experience of working with them is awful.

I'd avoid most recruiters whenever you can. Use HN's job board and things like that, and skip to talking to the actual team managers and engineers as quickly as possible. Recruiters hunting C++ devs for C# roles is just lazy people being lazy.

And who cares if your interviewer has read your resume? Its disrespectful, but it doesn't matter. Roll with it.
Show HN: A place to find out how to start a new project
I always feel like it's hard to get general step by step advice on how to start something new including the tools needed to start. For example, when I wanted to learn a new coding language I would go to youtube. But what about when I wanted to build specific simple web app from scratch? If you go to stack overflow for something that broad you get downvoted to hell. If you go to quora it may not get a catered answer. In the end I would have to spend a long time going around the web piecing together things to get started.

So I built a place where you can go to ask where to start something new. I hacked it together so it doesn't have a lot of features. At the moment we're focused on new and experienced software developers. This will be free for a month or so but will start charging so I can create some incentive for those that answer questions.

The level of "you don't need that!" judgement is weird. I guess it's just a matter of degree though. Here in the southeast US if somebody drives a pickup instead of a sedan or minivan or whatever, it doesn't register as unusual or excessive. I don't think twice about it, it's just another kind of vehicle.

But then again, I do notice (and sometimes make fun) if they've got a lift kit on it, tow mirrors when I've never seen them tow anything, big roof mounted light bar, etc. So maybe it's just a matter of degree as to where you draw the line and make stop-liking-what-I-don't-like judgements.
