I don't, because its an unrealistic situation that has nothing to do with real work. Its selecting the candidate by its handwriting. Almost as bad is ask to code in ms word to someone used to use an IDE for years.
This is too bad. I really wanted this to be a product. Wish they had been more upfront about the whole thing. Using an off the shelf board actually gives them a much better chance of making it happen. Hardware is really really hard to ship :-)
Of course, just like my rent is not pure profit for my building management company. The real question is, at what price were these units put up for rent on Airbnb, and how does it compare to market rents? The GA report says they cannot know because of the data anonymization.
I saw an instance of your talk at another venue. At the time I was learning about bitmap indexes (because we needed OLAP capabilities on a another database engine that is not postgres). Your talk reminded me furiously of them, but in the end I was not able to further investigate the difference.

How does your technology differ from bitmap indexes? Have you solved the performance problem of updating random rows, for example?
That's only partially true.

Yes, nobody's pointing a gun at their head and forcing them to buy expensive crap.

But there's advertising everywhere. Advertising is there to get people to buy things they might otherwise not buy. I'm not against consumerism, but it's absurd to have companies spend billions on getting people to buy their stuff and then blaming the same people for their purchasing habits.

Humans are not rational machines. We're social animals. We do a lot of stupid things. But we're not any more stupid for not being able to grow beyond that.
Look at this on a micro scale. Cell phones. Tons of people have iPhones. You can watch it happen in real time inside any T-Mobile store. Every time I go someone stomps out without an iPhone, you know why? They abolished contracts.

Tell someone they have to spend $650 on an iPhone today. They will balk.

Tell someone they can spend $200 on an iPhone.
They will sign their life away. And that $200 iPhone quickly becomes a much more expensive iPhone.
Do you rent out an entire apartment in a building with 3 or more units for 30 or fewer days at a time? If so, you are one of those people participating in rampant abuse.
So at what point are the individuals themselves responsible for their actions? Or is it addictions, poverty, and other external and unavoidable tragedies all the way down?
That is a bunch of BS, this is not Detroit of the 70s, that stuff doesn't happen. People drive foreign cars around just like any other area.
The worst thing is that this law will be used by politicians and their families to cover up corruption stories.

The law that possibly profits governing bodies the most is a bad law.

Why we cannot know if our new neighbour have paedophile past, corruption or rape incidents? Such mistakes should stay public for ever. But now very specific groups of people are trying to whiten themselves up. Its somehow scary...
"Free" as in speech, beer, and a massive Kickstarter.
Is there an equivalent of Godwin's Law for invoking Soviet Russia when discussing free speech?

The answer to your question is that the EU law is written horribly, by people who have no real idea how the internet works.
Your comment assumes several things. First, that everyone has a similar level of things to be embarrassed about. Second, that wealthy and powerful people won't simply sue or bribe publishers to withhold or delete the embarrassing material. Third, that living in a panopticon is a good thing.

I'm a little perplexed at how people who find NSA surveillance utterly unacceptable and wish to be able to shield private information from even lawful (warranted) scrutiny nonetheless seem fine with surveillance and publication by private sector, whether that's more-or-less universal publication via search engines or fee-based as in the case of data brokers like Acxiom.
Oh well I guess I will have to read up on rust some more then before writing long winded posts :) That's very cool.

Does it allow inline type disjunction declarations?

Rather than (never written rust before) something like:

pub enum ParseResult {
ParseError(Err)
IntResult(Int)
StringResult(String)
}
def parse : ParseResult

Allowing something like this

newtype ParseError = Err
def parse : ParseError | Int | String = ...

This avoids having to create specific names for each different type in the disjunction.

I mean we could implement tuples like this

pub tuple MapEntry<K,V> {
Key(K)
Value(V)
}
class SortedMap<K,V> {
def firstEntry() : Option<MapEntry<K,V>>
}

but everyone probably agrees, that we can figure out that key's are first and values are second, so let's just do this:

class Map<K,V> {
def firstEntry() : Option<(K,V)>
}
Much of such taxes make vices expensive precisely to discourage indulgence in those vices.
So is this essentially the same as Vagrant then? I'm really confused now.
Oracle MySQL Critical Vulnerabilities – Mandatory Patch for RDS on AWS
I paid $100 for my current couch second hand five years ago. Usable free couches in cities tend to be picked up by people who then sell them on craigslist.

When I was in my early 20s, I lived in a town that was maybe 30% college students. Apartment complexes would bring out huge dumpsters for "moving day". Much of the stuff that was thrown away was fine, just too much hassle to move. My friends and I would go around in a truck and dumpster dive. We got furniture this way, as well as a TV and a blender that I still have (after through cleaning) many years later. There was a lot of nice stuff that we didn't take we saw over the years - a fossball table and an electric organ stick out in my memory.
HN does have a pretty clear libertarian bent, so I'm not surprised to see many expressing the idea that the responsibility lies 100% with the people doing the renting.

The situation is a lot more nuanced for me: yes, the people doing the renting do have some responsibility for this, but:

1) I don't see responsibility-shifting as justification for scummy business practices. If what you do as a business is fundamentally scummy (even if legal) then you're a scumbag, period, and deserve to be called out and taunted (and, if it were up to me, regulated out of business). The people running these rent-to-own companies (like most payday loan places, underhanded adware software pushers, etc) are scumbags and I wish the worst kind of bad karma on them, though sadly I don't actually believe in karma.

2) I don't fully understand how someone could have a total lack of empathy for the renters here, though I'm not surprised to see it. If this were a story about some startup founder who just as stupidly maxed all of his personal credit on some startup (ignoring the obvious math of how likely he is to fail, not entirely different from how some are blaming these renters for ignoring the math), there would be a lot more sympathy here, I think, due to relatability (mere exposure effect).

Bad decisions are not something only poor people make, they just happen to pay a much higher (normalized) price for bad financial decisions than the rest of us because they are already so close to having nothing.
Its not useful skill to code in a whiteboard, drawing diagrams maybe? Even that how often does it happen.
I think you missed the author's point here. You have to have the webserver somewhere. That's inescapable complexity. It's in the language, or in the library, or in an external container like Tomcat. But if you're going to run a web app, you have to have a server somewhere.

Where Go made things simpler is in the dependencies. The app now has all the dependencies compiled in, and so it's completely isolated from what libraries some other app in the container needed. That is a removal of accidental complexity. (Right up until you need to update all the apps to fix a bug in some library, and now you have to update each app, not just update one library in the container...)
craigslist, you can pick one up for a few hundred, I'm sure. With kids, that's what I would do.
The same thing that happened to the family in the article is happening to the commenters in this thread -- but in reverse!

Just as the furniture rental place likely never told the family that the weekly-payment total would be $4,150, the article doesn't clearly show the price the family was looking at: $57.64/week.

I'm much more sympathetic to their decision when looking at the two numbers they were faced with: $58 vs $1500. A bad sofa on Craigslist is $200.

It seems like a good solution to the problem would be to require the $4150 total to be made explicit on a standardized disclosure form, not unlike what you see on a home mortgage.
This may be wildly off-topic, but I think this kind of disconnect is caused by a modern conflation of the concepts of "society" and "government". I think society should be against these businesses. I think government should leave them be.
An iteration on the European court's decision might require operators to amend their robots.txt files. It's not hard to conceive of multiple approaches to the same end. In any case, your objection is not responsive to my point that free speech remains uninfringed.
> Much like ORMs are a trap

If that is the case, the same can be said with JavaScript, Rails, Ruby yes? (all of them looked simple yet you can screw up really bad, like awfully bad, like worse than Java complexity bad).

I use ORM to do simple-to-medium complex queries enough to avoid N+1.

My ORM also have tools around it to help me generate DDL from code as part of my build (of course one still have to ensure the generated DDL is correct with proper relationship and constraints and all that jazz, but my point stands).

My ORM gives me the ability to write in either JPQL and SQL to do certain tasks like deleting a bunch of rows based on conditions. Those are handy enough.

My ORM also helps me prevent against SQL injection attack too.

How are these abilities are "traps" for me just as much as the C++ complexity are traps?
I don't think this refutes the essence of this idea, i.e. bloodless transfer of power. Sure that all new politicians end up being like the old ones, but thanks to short terms and established procedures of power transfer politicians don't feel the need of killing their way to the top or violently defending their seats. After all, even if you lose your seat this time, you can get it back in few years.

I've used Docker in semi-production environments.

Configuration abd dependency management is much improved, and more efficient than VMs.

YAML configuration is easy to hand edit.

Docker doesn't have to rebuild an entire image for a minor application code or conf change. Incremental cache speeds up the build process.

Scaleout with "worker" instances is quite easy to manage.

For full production Elastic Beanstalk is worth a look. I prefer to host on DigitalOcean VMs for dev staging.

Docker has a great local community in San Francisco.

Thank you for taking my criticism well. Writing is hard and exhausting. I struggle with writing all of the time, even when I make goals to do it. I hope I haven't discouraged you from writing more.
By that logic, this is a very expensive book. If it takes 6 hours to read fully it costs $600 + sticker price!

Just because you get paid $100/hr doesnt mean you value your time at $100/hr. In fact in means that you value your time LESS than $100/hr (though not by how much).
Please don't read my comment as a criticism, I'm not trying suggest it's going to ruin the game or anything. It's certainly a much catchier name (and an -r ending is a nice tongue-in-cheek reference). I'm just always fascinated in the nuances of language and the subtle effect word choices can have.

"When you're in a spot so bad that you have maybe $20 a week for food and have bills and collections wanting everything you have, simple things like a new couch or speakers look like an escape, almost therapeutic, when you have nothing."

This is something that most well off people have a hard time understanding. I remember well a story on NPR where a younger sibling scrimped and saved to buy his older brother a Nintendo DS, only to have an older and richer neighbor come over and berate him for wasting his money like that. When you're struggling every day to make ends meet, constantly worried about the future, and playing mental gymnastics to determine which bills you can afford to pay and still have food, even the smallest luxury is a relief.
First, that's kind of a strawman. I didn't say that GM's bailout was a good thing, only that Tesla has also taken money from the government ( at its most dire time, I might add; had they not received those loans they'd have been insolvent for sure ). And second, even though Tesla paid back its loans, it doesn't mean the taxpayer benefitted at all from the transaction. Au contraire, by paying back the loans early, Tesla avoided granting the government shares of TSLA, and thus stiffed the taxpayer out of any possible return. I understand everyone in SV wants Tesla to succeed, but it's not the most meritocratic, little-upstart-vs-entrenched-player story their PR would like you to believe.
Hundreds of real resume (cv) examples
I was waiting for this point to come up, and while I think there's validity to it (nobody requires a couch), creature comforts can be a significant part of your quality of life. Having a comfortable place to come home to at the end of the day can make it a lot easier to get through that day. However, if the cost of that comfort exceeds the benefit of it (that is, it places such a financial strain on you that the comfort is effectively offset by the stress of having no money), then it's not a net benefit to own. So, you either don't own it, or you find a way to own it that doesn't introduce you to crippling financial stress - the latter option being the one espoused in this particular thread.
> But if Go becomes the next mass adopted language for writing business applications, that will be a huge mistake for our industry.

I felt that when people say "use the right tools for the right job" and go ahead build web-app using Go, they're doing the talk the talk but not walk the walk.
I think you're right. Modern research indicates that willpower is a muscle[0] and studies have demonstrated that the poor are under constant high levels of stress[1]

Coda's idea is a one window workflow, complete with webkit / FTP / Git / terminal built in. Most of my days using Coda I spent simply using it as an editor. Its a philosophical standpoint that really depends on workflow. Its integrated FTP operations are fantastic.

When I changed jobs, and started working for a company with much better work flows (and required more complex tech stacks), I ended up jumping to Sublime + Tower, and just using the terminal separately. On the blue-moon that I need a FTP, I fire up Transmit. Since I'm working off local hosts, then pushing my commits to Git repositories that are then served to Jenkins, (staging/beta builds vs production) I'm now never touching the server itself.

Coda is geared best for someone looking for a one app solution to a multitude of things. I think like many, I started with Coda and outgrew it and that's fine. Its a great place to start and does a good job of being accessible. Panic is renowned for its UI/Design and Coda certainly shows that.

I've still yet to fully embrace the nuances of Sublime Text even after a year of using it as my primary editor. Sublime is not a pleasant experience to configure.

So to summarize, Coda is a great place to start.
Because unlike, say Java, Go programs crater under complexity. Various attributes of the language, such as the module system, the type system, the visibility model, etc. make it very (very) painful to do architectural space walks.
Does anybody know how this compares performance-wise to Numba (http://numba.pydata.org/) which seems like a pretty similar effort? Numba translates to LLVM bytecode rather than C++.
I get what you're saying, but privacy is a huge issue, and figuring out how to protect peoples' historical expectation of privacy and a 'clean slate' by most standards is something the EU is grappling with. It isn't evil, though its implementation may be misguided.

The cost of collecting from delinquent debtors does have to be taken into account. Here's the profit margins of the rent-to-own industry leaders in context (from their lobby group)
http://www.rtohq.org/legislative-resources/rto-vs-retail-a-p...

Massively overcharging poor people for products they probably shouldn't buy is a profitable endeavour, but only in line with the margins made by budget retailers usually regarded as offering good value-for-money
Those are fair points. I also think major part of the issue here is all the folks that try to write Java/C++/Python,etc in Go, rather than Go in Go. People install Go, write something in Go, paying no mind to go idioms, and complain. It happens on the Go mailing list all the time.
Ah, but then you're mucking with the advertising. 0.96 pounds seems so much lighter than 434 grams, right?

A similar thing happened to A&W [0] with their "1/3 pound" burger selling fewer than a competitor's "1/4 pound" burger — effectively because "3" is less than "4" and fractions aren't for everyone.

I'm aware that current browsers don't have a great security record (and present a huge attack surface). However, browser exploits are not so abundant that governments are willing to pop people left and right. A good, reliable browser exploit generally costs in the tens of thousands of dollars range, and even governments are hesitant to use those willy-nilly. Most of these can be mitigated with obvious precautions like disabling scripted media (no Javascript, Java, Flash, etc.)

Of course, really solid security requires a lot more effort. If I were to engage in illegal purchases using the Tor browser, I would run the browser in a VM and route all VM traffic through Tor. However, as we know from experience, the Tor Browser's (very mediocre) security is sufficient for the vast majority of casual criminals.

>You're the perfect example why tor browser is so bad.

Gee, thanks :)

Also, none of those CVEs are for the latest version of Firefox.
But there's advertising everywhere. Advertising is there to get people to buy things they might otherwise not buy.

But if advertising is such an irresistible siren song, how come you and I -- and everybody else on HN -- are not up to our necks in debt to rent-to-own stores?

I don't think its because we're special. I think it's because most of us engage in some kind of critical thinking, self control, and can do basic math.

It is the responsibility of the individuals themselves.
I usually enjoy reading these "advanced metrics" findings in the basketball realm, but this one isn't much. I guess it allows for these pictures to be printed out and hung up somewhere, but anyone who has played basketball competitively knows this as an instinct. Heck, I imagine most people who simply take a hard look at the angles can intuit this.
There's an unstated tradeoff relevant to this piece: "accidental complexity" versus verbosity. The Go community seems to have come firmly down on the "typing more simple code is better", but that's not a choice that everyone's going to agree with.

As a human-language equivalent, compare a jargon-laden sentence to the equivalent paragraph in Basic English. The sentence requires prior understanding of more things, but the paragraph may take a LOT of words to say anything.
At no point did I intend to imply that Tesla is a bad car in the Winter. I've never owned one yet, I don't really know. But as this thread shows, many people do assume so.

Had I really speculated that it really is, you'd be right.

Tesla's challenge in the North is convincing people that it is a car that is reliable even in the winter. This is going to be a harder task than actually making the car reliable in the cold.

Simply don't have kids when you are poor. Also it is perfectly reasonable to sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag/on blankets, maybe with some isolation beneath you. It is also much more healthy than to sleep on a couch. I lived most of my university life in a room with a desk, a chair and a mattress on the floor.
