Why don't you? It's easy enough to pick up. I was doing C# for quite a long time (and actually liking it), and just decided to start doing Racket. I've got a project going right now that is 100% custom racket. Once you get the macros down, the code flies. It's pretty amazing.

Did you see the truck in the video take out an enormous steel beam that was presumably attached to the structure of the tunnel in some kind of permanent way? How would your solution avoid the same fate?
One thing that I think is missing from these discussions about the homeless in SF is: many of these people do not want to be rent-paying members of society and even if there was housing for them, some might still prefer their current lifestyle. Many people still view that lifestyle choice as unacceptable because it challenges the typical goals of someone working hard for a 'better' life. I don't think the question should be 'how do we get these people to participate in society?' but 'why don't they want to participate and how can we accommodate these alternative life choices?' Otherwise any progress made would benefit those who want to see the streets cleaned up and not necessarily those living out there.
>internet service. Like now.

People use Skype, Google Voice, etc for that. I must be misunderstanding the problem.
I have had similar experiences in Toronto, Canada. We even have universal healthcare, and good social programs.

At least in SF a homeless person won't die from exposure in the wintertime.

I think you're smearing missionaries a bit - they haven't ALL engaged in forcible conversion of natives. Quite often it is a voluntary decision.

But anyway, my point is that culture changes, and you can't stop it. Think of it as a culture free market. You can try to put up protectionist barriers to stop it, but you won't succeed. Not even the Amish are totally successful at it.

I grew up in Redmond, WA in the 70s and I don't recognize the place anymore when I visit. It makes me a bit sad, but that's life. Someday miles-high glaciers will form and scrub the Rocky Mountains away, too.

Now, I'm sure this is a difficult thing to measure, and there's lots of room for legitimate argument. Nonetheless Wikipedia tells me that 248 Londoners "sleep rough each night", where 3-5000 of San Francisco's homeless population "refuse shelter". That's a full order of magnitude difference even ignoring the fact that London's population is several times that of SF.

And again, it gets to the safety net argument. It's not that the english are accepting shelter where the americans are not, it's that the english don't need to "accept" the homeless shelters in the first place because they are sleeping at home.
Designers are often burdened with creating a design that doesn't require additional interaction by the user. To create something where the user needs to consult instructions or a help file often deters new users from getting past the initial discovery stage.

Even then though there are those "special" users who are beyond help and ignore all rational signs and hints along their path to self destruction. My first job was pumping gas and we had one set of pumps that had a smaller tank than others: it ran out very quickly. So when it was empty we'd put "Out of order" bags over the pump (clearly displayed and labelled) only for people to drive up, remove the bag then complain the pump is dysfunctional.
We have vending machines with these at my university. I often start swiping my card only to realize I've accidentally "tapped to pay" (according to the reader).

When you design user interfaces, it's a good idea to keep two principles in mind:

1. Users don't have the manual, and if they did, they wouldn't read it.

2. In fact, users can't read anything, and if they could, they wouldn't want to.
I don't know about "most" but somewhere between "most" and "no one" there ARE some people who choose to be "on the streets."

I guess they are afraid that the broken bar can damage some other vehicle. Still, something heavier that can be damaged and can stop the truck before the tunnel is the proper solution, not the strange projections. Drivers are too sleepy sometimes, in spite of the expectations of the idealists.
The only reason I recommend that is it's the best pre-workout stimulant I've ever tried, and I've tried a few. YMMV but Jacked 3d with the DMAA ingredient is known in weightlifting circles as a miracle substance. Tear off the damn label if it bothers you.

"The best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else."

I learned that in college, and it's held true for many of the things I've tried to learn.

Title is misleading ;) Intellectual property laws are firmly under control. Just not ours.
I don't think anyone actually PREFERS to be homeless, except for a few exotics. Most of the homeless in America are that way due to either a: unfortunate economic circumstances, or b: mental illness that precludes normal social functioning.
It's not about excuses. It's about avoiding that the accident happens, because it can cause the tunnel to get shut down for weeks.
The drivers cannot be not simply ignoring the signs.

The sign is telling them that later down the road they will absolutely get in to problems, and get literally stuck. No one would continue with that certainty of getting stuck or in trouble. On top of that, it cant be repeat offenders either. Some one who has been there before must have gotten caught out, one way or another. Its not like drivers on small roads who see a 6ft width restriction sign, but know through local knowledge that really you can squeeze 7ft wide car through the lane.

What we have is drivers who do not know the road, and in their minds don't think the big huge warning signs are meant for them. In their heads they think it for a another driver on the road in close proximity, even if there is no sign of one.

The problem with road signs is making it known to specific individuals that the message is absolutely for them. The brilliant last resort sign absolutely makes it clear who the message is for.

So the key is to some how make driver know that the message is actually for them specifically.

That is indeed a fair accomplishment. I've been weight training for about a year. Had to take time off, but at my max four months ago I could only get about 170 on the bench press, times five reps.

I'm French living in Jersey. I have been to San Francisco, even though it's blatant when you walk here, everywhere in the US I have that feeling that the poor are really forgotten. And they live in third-world country conditions. In France, the average rich is not as rich, and it's probably a lot harder to become successful and wealthy than here; but the poor are not left behind as much. It feels more like a society where you take a significant chunk from the rich to make sure the poor can get by. Sure there are abuses, high taxes and whatnot, but the old and the poor can afford to go to the dentist, and retire when the time comes.

The way I see it, European countries have a kind of nation-wide health insurance, vs individual insurance here. We have a nation-wide student loan, versus individual student loans. That helps controlling the costs and profits, and helps making sure that everybody who needs care or education can get it.

But whether it is related or not, America is more daring, more exciting, and there are more opportunities when you have the right cards to do something. But if you had a bad hand to start with, then you're royally screwed.

Put simply, it's better to be born poor in Europe than in the US, and better to be born rich in the US than in Europe.

I guess I don't understand why it's expected that I would run production code that imports from a third party automatically. I don't want to deploy updates some random person committed today to some third party package I'm using or some package it depends on, so if I want to use a third party package I have to recursively pin it and its dependencies and recursively modify import statements.

That's not a good idea. Tire damage reduces control of a multi-ton vehicle in the middle of traffic, and vastly increases the amount of time it will take to get the vehicle back out. Even the flying rubber tire parts have huge amounts of energy and can damage nearby cars or even kill people.
Engaging in political activities as 100% of their operation. For instance, Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS entity. If you can point to any social welfare activity Mr. Rove is engaged in, I'd love to see it. But his group's primary purpose is required to be social welfare.

Rove's group pays no taxes because it is supposedly a social welfare group, but it's actually a political slush fund. And the Republicans, having broken the law flagrantly, are now attempting to prevent the IRS from taking any action to end their abuse of the tax-exempt nonprofit status. That's the scandal.

> Most of the homeless in SF actually want to be on the streets.

To those surprised by this sentence, jarjoura might be influenced by this recent Priceonomics blog post: http://blog.priceonomics.com/post/43085729257/the-street-kid...

"Most street kids we spoke to came from one of two backgrounds: either they had job prospects (whether good or dead-end) but preferred the freedom of homelessness, or were transient homeless who fell in love with the street kid community...Street kids defied our expectations of living on the street as a last resort; instead they seem to be drawn to the Haight."

Is this agreement or disagreement? Because all these languages don't have high critical mass, long term support, or a great ecosystem.
I think many people choose being homeless over giving into the pressures of our society like having to sustain a job in order to pay rent and go out for dinner etc... and all that stuff that 'normal' people desire. I've met homeless people that split their time between SF and some hills near Santa Cruz and only come into the city to sell some hash or hang out ith friends for a couple of days... but yes there are also many people on the streets who don't want to be there too.

Herschel Walker claims to have bench pressed 375 the first time he ever tried. His workout involved 750-100 push-ups and 2000 sit-ups daily. I've read elsewhere that he once managed 500lbs, but it was a long time ago and I can't find a reliable source.

The other example I have is from Christopher Sommer, a famous U.S. gymnastics coach. He mentioned an athlete that could benchpress 400lbs either in an online article or his book. I can't remember which, but I haven't been able to find it. I did find an article where he mentions a young athlete trained solely through bodyweight exercise, that managed to deadlift 400lbs at a bodyweight of 135.

I forgot another source. When I was in the military we had a martial arts instructor that was about 6'3" and 250lbs of muscle. He claimed that his only other source of exercise was Yoga.
CoffeeScript doesn't actually create any objects you're not telling it to do so. It does return the value of the final expression, but you placed that expression there to be executed. Its value will be returned and that might cause it to remain reachable for some additional time, but the value was created by your expression, not by CoffeeScript's return semantics.

You have a warped sense of "informative".

Theres no content to these emails other than "please come back". These aren't giving him any tips, they are not personal, they're simply autogenerated spam at an exceedingly high frequency.

"Lifecycle" emails are supposed to be a nudge every so often (every few days at most). They aren't supposed to be a naggy, daily, completely auto-generated spam.

Also, this user isn't on the test drive. He's already left the dealership parking lot and hes getting a salesman yelling at him to come back daily. If I had a salesman doing this I'd not only not buy from that dealership, I'd probably have a distaste towards that entire brand of car and go to a competitor.

Rationalize all you want but 7+ emails in ~7 days is spam.

The warning beam is several stopping-distances before the tunnel itself, and far easier to replace/reconstruct.

I'd try a 3-stage contact-warning system:

(1) hanging bar that makes noise on contact but causes little damage. This might even go before a suitable turn-off.

(2) breakaway cord with trailing noisemakers. This would be torn from its mast by the collision, and drag noisy items behind, emphasizing the need to stop and investigate.

(3) hard bar providing some slowing/resistance (but almost certainly not full stopping power, given the position and expense). By design this would actually damage the vehicle (and even risk harming the driver), approaching the same level of damage that would occur at functional tunnel-entry. But, it'd happen earlier where easier to clear/repair.
It's unfortunate that single comment threads dominate the entire discussion on HN sometimes.
Honestly, I don't care about your qualifications. That's just checking off the "requirements" list.

What I'd care about is: do you have a passion for what our company is doing? Do you think you could make solid contributions? Prove it. Tell me a story.

I was in a recent roundtable and we all agreed that if someone sent us an email that truly demonstrated a passion for the company, we'd _make_ a position for them, even if we weren't hiring for it. Passion is worth way more than "I need a job. Here are my qualifications."
