What sort of large scale are you talking about? Why would Postgres not be enough? What would be, and which features make it better for use with your project?

Good lord, how can this be a crime? Leaving my puppy alone in the car for a minute or three here or there (under reasonable circumstances of course) has been a productive part of developing his confidence in himself, his ability to be alone, and his ability to be calm. I'm not a parent, but I expect basics like this apply to kids too- how can they grow up to be well-adjusted adults if they must be supervised at all times?
A debit card is using your personal money, banks aren't necessarily going to spend resources recovering your money.

Credit cards use the bank's money on credit. Most credit card users are only liable for $50 in damages.
Steroids don't make you taller. Also if you devote yourself to nutrition and weight lifting, as a 6 foot male it's not too hard to exceed 200 pounds. I don't doubt steroids play a part, but there are many other factors (in addition to just the fact that football became a national obsession so is attracting more potential players).

And prior to 1940, the same players played offense and defense, along with limited substitutions. These days, players not only play one position but are often substituted out depending on the particular play or formation. That lets players specialize and, I'd argue, put on body mass for their more limited role.
Regehr, where this post is from, recently had an article about how to do safe arithmetic in C.

As you say, it is surprisingly different to it get right, especially if you want good performance. A common mistake is checking for signed integer overflow after the fact. It is too late when undefined behavior has already happened.
Well put the cops and prosecutors in jail - they are the reason the perps go free.
Debit card fraud recovery is only backed by guarantees from the bank, if they choose to guarantee that.

Credit card fraud recovery is mandated by the federal government.

Great questions, incision! Product is somewhat vague. On Product Hunt you'll find a variety of "products" from mobile apps, to websites, to chrome extensions, to electronics. The loose definition is intentional so that there's a variety and serendipity.

Since the community is largely startup folks (founders, investors, marketers, designers, engineers, etc.), you see a mix of products that generally appeal to that audience.
Or you could have a "sticky" overflow flag, so that you could check for overflow after each complete expression instead of after every single math operation. This needs one new flag and one new conditional instruction. (Plus compiler modifications.)
In the UK things have changed and so parents need to be careful. Various high profile cases have resulted in changes to both social services and police processing.

How do you arrive at "wind up fairly comparable"? If you merely contributed $40 in the last Presidential election, your money counted twice as much as your vote, relatively speaking.

If you're looking at actual donations versus possible donations, the point is what you could do with your money, not what the average person actually does.
Agreed -- it would fit in right next to "Ask" and probably be able to use the same code paths.
I once left my puppy beagle in the back of my car, windows cracked, while I ran into the restaurant to pick up takeout.

I was not in there more than 5 mins. When I got out, started to pull away, and was stopped by a cop who then called animal services.

This level of nanny-state-ism drives me slightly crazy. But the real issue for me was the person who decided s/he needed to call the police (the police for this). If it were me, I would probably sit and wait on a bench nearby, keeping an eye out. It's true that the dog was barking like crazy but he's a dog (a beagle at that), and dogs bark. I'd watch and if he showed signs of distress, I'd act. Or, if it turned into 20, 30 mins, then probably I would also react. But the person who comes across a situation and instantly goes to "call the police" is not something I understand.

I think maybe we all know the type who just likes to report things. Who likes that power trip. I can't help but feel we'd maybe be better off if those types learned to be more circumspect in their actions.

(In the end i paid my $35 fee and told the cop and animal control that I thought what they were doing was a total farce.)

I'm from Australia, have lived in the US, Ecuador, Argentina and now Canada. My sister lives in the UK.

I've never seen anywhere else in the world that takes these issues as seriously (and insanely) as the US.

In Australia it's extremely common to see young kids walking to school without an adult, playing in the park after school, etc. etc. Many young kids will walk to the corner shop to buy candy or whatever without supervision. Adults think nothing of this, it's perfectly normal. It's unthinkable someone would call the Police for this.

EDIT: I should add, however, that it's highly illegal to leave a child in a car, due to the extreme heat. I've never seen it, but I expect people would call the Police or just break into a car if they saw this happening. It's taken so seriously, the punishment is actually the same for leaving an animal in the car as it is for leaving a child in the car.
This is just so patently absurd. The legal issue seems to revolve around "rendering the child in need of services". A child alone in a car for 5 minutes on a mild day is not in need of services. The case should be thrown out right there.
As with lots of things: The details matter. Leaving a kid in a car shouldn't be an offense. Not returning ~soon~ might be and might be a reason to call the cops/force the car open.

Parents can damage/kill their kids in uncountable ways. Most don't and really try to avoid that. Trying to watch over their shoulder isn't 'Good citizenship', it's crazy and a witch hunt. You start to be labeled as child abuser if your kid is crying like hell (toothing maybe, or really interested in strawberries that you don't like to hand out - but the people around you don't understand that, don't have the slightest bit of clue about the situation. More often than not, OTHER parents are worse than the rest).

Give it a rest. The scenario you describe sounds terrible. But it's not relevant to the situation at hand. The person in the article describes that she checked the temperature, knew how long it'd take (even had a deadline on multiple levels, not only 'Today I do not want to choke my kid in the car' - she even planned to take a flight before the kid could have taken any damage. More seriously, a parent decided something for her kid. Something she does gazillion times a day. People might object to a number of her decisions and this particular one got her in trouble? Someone 'snitched'? Sad. The system failed.

I understand:

- someone was worried, called the cops

- cops reacted (yay!)

But:

- before cops arrived, kid was gone and obviously safe with the parent

- charges were pressed, just because?

One word: Insane.

I'm a father of two, both younger than the kid in the car.

edit: One of the worst typos I made so far.
Running OS X Mavericks under QEMU with KVM
Parent runs into store for few minutes, trips and knocks head becoming unconcious / has stroke / has heart attack / etc etc - child dies.

Having said that, This story is a really good example of how tough it is for some parents and how hostile society is to parenting.
I think you've misread me. I think it's ludicrous that you can't leave your kid in the car for short intervals. I didn't "want" to take my kid in.

The sheer scope of it is impressive. To infect that many machines, have them network with each other, engineer massive wire transfers that are somehow silent and untraceable, not get caught to me is genius. Seems harder than finding a couple of 0-days (even though that's ridiculously hard as well), even on a technical level.
> One of the surprisingly annoying minor things we implemented for some safe code were C routines for "safe arithmetic"

I'm surprised that something that necessary and tricky to implement still hasn't been considered for the C standard library.
The protections are the same.

The primary difference is in the case of fraud on a debit card, you don't have access to the stolen funds until your financial institution issues a provisional credit. (They have a short statutory time frame to do this.)
I'm from the UK and was born in 1990. I remember my parents leaving me in the car when I was younger, in all sorts of weather. Rain, snow, sun, whatever. I never really cared because they'd leave the radio on and I could play with whatever I'd taken with me. Nothing bad ever happened to me when they left me in the car

I don't see any issue with people leaving their kids in the car, it just requires a little common sense.

Also, comparing events where someone forgot their kid was in the car and leaving them all day to events where the parents consciously leave their kids and are aware of the conditions they've left them in (especially if they actually do something to help ensure the comfort of the child, like cracking the window) it's completely wrong. One is neglect, one is giving your kids a little freedom.
His book "Accidental Empires" (http://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Empires-Silicon-Millions-Co...), and the PBS documentary miniseries that was based on it, "Triumph of the Nerds" (http://www.amazon.com/Triumph-Nerds-Bob-Cringely/dp/B00006FX...), are both terrific, must-read/see histories of the dawning and maturity of the age of personal computing. The doc is especially fascinating now because it was made in the window of time after Steve Jobs' failure at NeXT, but before his triumphant return to Apple -- so it provides a glimpse of him humbled and circumspect, which is a very different tone than that he took in nearly every other public appearance ever.

Cringely's more recent work has been kind of hit or miss, though.
Fixed, thanks! :)
Andrew Jackson's famous quote is actually part of the checks and balances in the system, a guard against an out of control Federal Court system, even if this example is awful.

The check against that is the ability of the Congress to impeach and convict a President.

It should also be noted the Congress can remove anything they want from the remit of the Supreme Court, and have done this more than a few times in the past (generally or all also bad) and some in recent times.

Of the three branches, our Founders were supremely suspicious of the courts, if you'll pardon the pun. Life tenure, insulated from political pressure aside from impeachment and conviction, they've proven themselves to be equally capable of doing ill as has the Congress and Presidents.
That is a problem in college, but once they hit pro they've gone through the combine and they are measured.
You're talking about the leinigen template? I just don't like the current situation for distributing these resources. I figure if you want, you can always download and store these resources locally if you want.
If the father became unconscious, had a stroke or a heart attack, etc. while driving or doing anything with the child away from other people, the child could die.
Sure just email me (see profile).
It wasn't so long ago that the "bystander" would simply watch the child for a minute out of common courtesy for the mother. If it looked like it was getting out of hand, then perhaps intervention of some sort might cross their mind.

We've become a nation of "I'm Teelllllling..." suitable for nobody but a playground full of 5 year olds.

In my opinion, the actions of this "good samaritan" were not motivated from concern or helpfulness. Just like on the playground this action was malicious. A subtle kind of violence.
I don't now if it's an American thing or maybe a Western thing, but for whatever reason, voters and elected officials seem to be able to effortlessly make that huge leap from "It's sensible to do ABC" and "It should be required by law to do ABC, under penalty of fines and/or jail". We over-legislate things like public safety, and then rely on the court bureaucracy to apply sensibility and lenience on a case-by-case basis.

I don't expect either of them to do it for a while either. The trends I'm talking about are in PL development in general. More breaking evolution is taking place post-initial-development than ever has before in languages both new and old.

Note that the Go compat wiki you link to acknowledges a future Go 2 that may break compatibility. That's actually a pretty strongly pro-evolution statement compared to past languages.
It seems to become bimodal towards the last decade or two. Any idea as to why?
Hmm... I don't completely agree that adding Show HN would be a replacement for Product Hunt. It feels like the two communities are pretty different, and creating a separate community for product launches gives you the flexibility to incorporate new social protocols (like the AMA) more easily, and add in visual elements like mockups.

Just my 2 cents!
I wonder who will be the equivalent of Lou Gerstner this time.
I'm willing to bet that having a pool in your yard is much more dangerous for your child than leaving them in a car with windows cracked for 5 minutes.

How to Interpret What You Saw in the WWDC Keynote
"He glanced up at me, his eyes alight with what I’d come to recognize as a sort of pre-tantrum agitation. “No, no, no, no, no! I don’t want to go in,” he repeated, and turned back to his game."

That's where you failed. Clearly, there was a pattern of negligent parenting.
That WSJ article that Jessica was quoted from HN yesterday also made me think of you!
It's not even clear that this is reporting, as much as it's opinion pieces about a particular company that he thinks is doing things wrong.

A quote from the intro that seems like a bit of a red flag: "The book had to be written because writing the same story over and over for seven years hasn’t changed anything."
OK, so then its on the compiler to use the non-exception-generating instructions when generating the assembly.
Calca is more like a spreadsheet than a programming language interpreter, so I doubt you'll find what you're looking for. You might be able to put something together that used a more Pythonic syntax for calculations, but that's about the extent of it.

Even if you worked around the issue of the bulk of the file not being valid Python, you'd likely run into user satisfaction problems - kind of an "uncanny valley" of programming editors, where it would interpret just enough to seem like it was working, but because of a restricted syntax (e.g. are you handling loops? functions?) would be far enough off to be an irritant.
Broadly speaking phaser is 2D, PlayCanvas is 3D. (Though you can always do 2D stuff in 3D)
I once called animal control when I saw a dog in a car, in a hot parking lot. This dog was barking and running around the car. I waited in my car's A/C for 5 minutes before calling, just to be sure I wasn't overreacting.

When I got through to animal control, I was told that the dog was not in distress. A dog in distress would retreat to a cooler spot of the car (near the passenger side floor) and not jump around barking.

That your dog was barking and moving around, it was not in distress.
Second that, I can hardly believe this story is for real. When I grew up my parents left me (and my brother and sister) alone in the car all the time. Never for more than a few minutes obviously, but otherwise it was perfectly normal. They also let us cycle to school, play outside without being monitored all the time, roam around the woods, whatever. It was the same with all my friends. Surprisingly, everyone turned out just fine, and I've never heard of a single (near) fatal incident caused by this kind of negligence around me. I think I vaguely remember a baby died in a car in The Netherlands a few years ago though. You have to wonder what kind of parenting leads to forgetting you left your baby in the car though, and how long it would take for some other serious incident to occur if you're so absent minded.

That said, anyone has a right to disagree whether leaving your kid in the car when you have to stop at the store is acceptable, but prosecuting a parent for it is downright insane.

As a sanity check, here is the law in California (which, I assume, is relatively restrictive, since it's California...):

It is illegal to leave a 6 years old or younger unattended in a motor vehicle when:

There are conditions that present a significant risk to the child's health or safety. Example: Leaving a child in a closed car on a very hot day.

The vehicle's engine is running, the keys are in the ignition, or both. Children can start or move the car causing injuries and/or deaths to themselves or others. An opportunist may (and many have) seize the moment to jump in and drive your car away, child still strapped in.[1]

So ... as long as there's nothing unsafe and the engine isn't running, you're "legal".

The statement you were questioning is that Swift will be "fixed for a decade at least" after release. If you agree that it will be at least four years before Python makes any more changes like Python 3, then you are agreeing with the OP.
I find this interesting. Looking at Computer Science, it dropped off sharply after 2005 and I'm struggling for an explanation. My first idea was that there was an influx of CS majors from the 2001 period who started prior to the bubble, than just stayed to complete their degree.

The U. S. has long been a country of busy-bodies (the Puritans weren't known for keeping their noses out of the business of others), and the example of this story demonstrates that cellphone cameras make it easier to share your nosiness without that uncomfortable confrontation of the past.

Before you go off to pull out those "child cooks in car in Texas in July" anecdotes, consider that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children. So if we're collectively that worried about it, let's get up in arms about needlessly taking the child on a car trip before we worry about applying "justice" to someone who left their child in a car in 50F weather.

If it were truly a case of "good samaritan" I'd blow it off. But I'm going to guess it was more a case of "she's doing something I think is awful. Regardless of whether harm was done or not, I'm going to go tattle!"
"That's not great. Static guarantees are worlds better than "I can manually look at it, and manually grep for places I need to look"."

Seriously, this is my number one reason for not having kids.

For the younger crowd who may not understand, I was born in '77:

- I rode in the back hatch (no seats) of my dad's corvette until I was 8, cops would wave to us.

- At 6 I could ride my bike around pretty much anywhere I wanted, but wasn't allowed to cross rt6 (which I didn't, though no one checked).

- Left in the car in parking lots for up to an hour.

- Arrived home from school with no one home starting in 1st grade.
