There are many low quality non-profit colleges as well, with negligible admission requirements, and no consequences when students fail. Why do we obsessively focus on the for-profits while giving the non-profits a pass?

The non-profit colleges have far more lobbyists crawling DC than the for-profits, so it can't be that.

I 100% agree San Francisco needs to build more high-rises for the enclaves of south-bay workers who now live here. Let them have all of SOMA in fact, it shuts down after 7 PM and remains dead on the weekend anyway. They won't even be here to enjoy it during the day so they won't notice. Let them have the boring national corporate owned franchises that overcharge for generic boxes. At least they all come with gyms and some even have pools.

Save the other communities though, let them flourish for the people who actually want to spend their days in the city.

So for the love of god, please LET them build these high-rises!

k-thanks, bye.
In general, it is only by coincidence when something does have a nice closed form.
The gas tax doesn't fully fund road construction and maintenance. Those of us who don't own automobiles or buy gas are still paying our "share".

BTW, road maintenance costs are mostly due to heavy vehicles such as trucks (and weather). Cars cause negligible damage. So though truckers complain about high taxes, they're actually still paying less than a "fair" amount. So says my transportation professor, anyway.

To me, Samsung is a joke company. At a time when Microsoft is increasingly forward-thinking in the clarity and tastefulness of its UI and UX, Samsung just can't stop throwing glossy plastic, pleather, knock-off iOS 6 icons, random fonts and gimmick apps around. They're the new 90s Microsoft when it comes to taste and sophistication.
Except UIViewController has a view property that is usually a container for a lot of other views. Sometimes it's desirable to add constraints to this view. Apple even provides API for this: UIViewController's updateViewConstraints method. I think of this as a compromise so we don't have to create a custom UIView subclass for every UIViewController subclass.

This will not end well. New York has managed to cope with Wall Street money, because of excellent early 20th century infrastructure that lets people move outward. You can buy relatively affordable housing within a 45 minute train ride of Manhattan, thanks to the half a dozen commuter train lines converging on it not to mention the extensive subway network. San Francisco on the other hand is totally fucked. If the urban planners had any sense, they'd get together with San Mateo county and build train lines down the peninsula to allow people to live and commute in from the near suburbs. One little Caltrain line without express tracks isn't going to cut it if San Francisco is to evolve into a real global city.
Since we're comparing music with weird time signatures: Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, "Promenade" section, he wrote in 11/4 time, but it's usually published as alternating 5/4 and 6/4 because, presumably, performers find that less strange. Mussorgsky is notorious for having spent most of his life in a drunken stupor, including, or perhaps especially, when composing.

That actually brings an interesting question to mind. As someone who hasn't forked anyone's repository, I am not familiar with the licensing expectations of doing so. Obviously the code you've forked belonged to someone else, but at what point can you say "this is now my creation," or at least, "I own modifications to my fork of this guy's work?"

How do you fork and re-license appropriately?

I'd like to create a mobile app where users can input a badge number.

If the number already exists, you get the existing profile, if it doesn't, a new profile is created, from which you can upvote or downvote the officer, add a name or picture, and write a review. Other users can upvote or downvote reviews as well.

The other part of the app would be a top 10 list of the best officers in NYC, and a top 10 worst officers.

I'm pretty alright at Android, but know nothing about iOS. We'd need a really great and simple design. The whole backend could be done with Parse.

I had exactly the same thought as rdl. "Inconspicuous" means "easily overlooked", but obviously "inconspicuous in the same way that football jersey numbers are inconspicuous" means "as easily overlooked as the number on a football jersey". There's no usage error there, just laudably vivid imagery.

Arguably since the transaction scripts don't loop, something resembling 100% branch coverage testing would probably suffice. The issue is classifying the test results: should the test succeed with these inputs, should it fail with these other inputs, etc.

Given that the scripts are usually used to verify basic transactions, though, you could probably provide a few basic rules and autogenerate appropriate tests.
Agreed. All instances of the word "fat" are used by the writer. The only instance of a medical professional saying something that would warrant the word "fat" is Dr. Rolph, who is quoted as saying "overweight."
> We strictly include only critical fixes for issues for which there is no workaround. For Go point releases, most people should just install them and move on. For 99.9% of Go programmers there is "nothing to see here".

Isn't that a little contradictory? You are saying all the changes in this release are critical, yet there is "nothing to see here". As I understand it, these changes are critical corner cases but you believe that they are not experienced by 99.9% of the users.

However, you should consider two things:

1. Such critical issues might be useful information for users who are not facing those issue currently (but might hit them in the future).

2. Your estimation of 99.9% might be wrong, because not all users might have complained loudly or even realized that there is an issue.
Go kind of makes you do this. Last weekend I was writing some code, ran the tests, and saw that they failed. I debugged my test harness for a while, only to find that the bug was actually in my real code. (Overall I kind of like the strategy, I'd much rather debug my own for-loop-over-test-data than someone else's. But it does lead the mind down different paths than when you use something like JUnit/Hamcrest.)

Incidentally, this is why "test first" is more than just a methodology for selling high-priced consultants. At least it lets you see your tests fail and then pass, rather than just pass. Lots of common patterns pass in the presence of incorrect code.

An example that a coworker was complaining to me about recently:

void testFooBarException() {
try {
thisShouldThrowFooBarException()
} catch (FooBarException ignored) {}
}

Can you spot the bug? The test still passes even if thisShouldThrowFooBarException doesn't throw an exception. Oops.

I personally avoid this by checking that I can make the test fail when I expect it to fail, by editing some values or commenting something out. But that doesn't scale, that only saves you once.

Something to think about.
From the article:

> “DAH-doonk, dah-doonk, dah-doonk, gonk gonk.”

That would actually be the Terminator 2 soundtrack. The soundtrack from The Terminator would go “DAH-doonk, doonk, dah-doonk, gonk gonk.”; i.e. 2-1-2-2 instead of 2-2-2-2.

(Yes, this annoyed me back when Terminator 2 came out. Why, yes, I am old.)

>> Deciding how to educate their children is part of their religion.

herein lies my naivety i suppose. :)

>> As to your point about Catholic schools... do you think that a Catholic school ought to be a place where other religious teaching is tolerated? Do you think such a school ought to be required to teach Islam or Protestantism for example? Or, to take a popular topic at the moment, should a church be required to perform same-sex marriages?

no, my point was simply that public and Catholic schools were my only options. and fortunately one of them was suitable for my beliefs (whatever they may have been).

i didn't intend to suggest that forcing public schooling was the best, or even a good solution. but i'm wondering how we extract the logic from that argument without alienating anyone.
Usually it's simple to just count in groups of three and two (or four). This is three threes and a four, so, thirteen.

First Circle is one of the best (and hardest) songs that my former jazz orchestra played - I was on drums. We used a score from UNC, I believe.

You're right that the time signature is effectively 22/8. Our charts were written in 12/8+10/8 alternating (22 beats) but there were 4 bars of 12/8 and one of 8/8 at the end of the verses. I think the solo sections were mostly 12/8.

The song works best if the whole band feels the accented rhythms, rather than explicitly counting everything. But when it comes together, it is a powerful piece of music.
This technique was taught to me by Charles Fiterman, before he was at geodesic. And while compilers are a bit better about this nowadays, back then this was a good technique to use.
Cops generally make a lot more than the official base pay. They get lots of routine highly compensated overtime even when working only 2000 hours a year. Published figures usually aren't representative. Seniority gives mid career cops lots of opportunities to pad overtime hours. Check the actual pay instead of salary schedules.

Also, retirement with nearly full pay at age 50 is common.

As mentioned in my post on the main thread, I am pretty sure it's for the immigration legality. Credit checks take some money (not much but not free) and also minimally hurt the check-ee, no one runs them on applicants who are not otherwise hired. It may have more to do with their legal counsel insisting on gathering necessary data ahead of time than their preference for process over privacy.

In case anyone is wondering, that code should read something like:

void testFooBarException() {
try {
thisShouldThrowFooBarException()
fail() // Should have thrown exception
} catch (FooBarException ignored) {}
}

If you're feeling super fancy, you can even do some asserts in the catch block to make sure the FooBarException has an expected exception message.
Chernobyl was much worse than Fukushima, for a lot of reasons. The reactor got away from the Soviets in a way the reactors never got away from the Japanese, though admittedly it was touch and go for a bit.

Decades from now the cores will have been safely removed from the Fukushima reactors, the reactor vessels cut up and all of it will be safely stored in a nuclear waste dump.

Chernobyl won't be in noticeably better shape than it is today. It will still be a concrete lid over a still-active meltdown.

It seems contradictory in this case, but not when you consider all the previous releases.

With previous releases there has been what I call a "point-release-triggering fix". That is, a fix that simply cannot wait until the next release (for example, one that fixes a security hole). In those cases there is some advisory warning in the announcement. In this case, it had been 3 months since the last release and a few point-release-worthy (but not point-release-triggering) fixes had accumulated, so we though it's probably worth getting them out there before 1.3 (in another 3 months' time).

I have considered your points. That's why (in response to point 1) I have linked to the changes directly from the release announcement and acknowledged in my message that perhaps I should write the changes up in future, and (in response to point 2) I issued the point release in the first place and submitted the announcement post here so that Go users would know to upgrade.

Arguably a mining approach that would require that miners return the transactions that can't complete to their previous individual could provide formal proof that it will not "halt" ever.

It seems to me that the obvious issue is sending invalid transactions. If these are not handled and the bitcoins are lost that means that bitcoin itself must eventually disappear because some percentage of transactions will be bad and over time, the sum of all of these will lead to enough losses to ensure that there is no practical value to the remaining bitcoins.

It seems to me that programs can be guaranteed not to halt a lot more than they can be guaranteed to halt.

From what I remember reading those comments at the time, I think a lot pertained to the differences between the older reactors and newer facilities? Fukushima started up 42 years ago. I'd hope that our methods and safeguards have improved in four decades!

To summarize: At this point, humanity is its own greatest extinction risk. If we don't destroy ourselves in the next century, we will almost certainly inherit the stars.

> That being said, there's absolutely no reason that cops should not have a camera on them at all times.

True. This would be a major positive change to our system.

> It's more for their benefit than ours.

False. Everything is already all the cops' way. They have nowhere to go but down. Their court testimony is legally privileged over yours (this really galls me in the face of the idea that "all are equal before the law"). They don't like being filmed because it hurts them. In this case, what we have is a case of "good for us because it's bad for the cops".

From what I was following at the time, it was looking very much like containment in one of the reactors was lost (I generally assumed from earthquake damage). This may not be all the contamination or even most of it. As the crisis unfolded you had a huge number of really big problems arise.

The thing to remember is that a massive earthquake caused this crisis. When you are dealing with seismic activity on that scale, ensuring that structures remain intact requires making assumptions which just are not readily testable.

He built an MVP and then kept going by iterating on the same codebase. This is literally the mentality HN tries to collectively push forward.
