A few colleagues that have worked at Google over the years have expressed that depending on which office, project or position you are in, the experience was greatly impacted for better or worse. Everything from boredom, perceived growth and office politics seems to vary greatly even if offices were merely a couple towns over within the same state.

This is also another pricing curiosity. Who buys a large when there are free refills? I guess I don't understand it, but I gave up drinking everything that is in a fountain many years ago. When I eat out I usually just don't drink anything except coffee or water.
Germans are better at math so you have to throw more curve balls.
>We should learn from history of systems programming languages. None of them survived without being tied to a specific OS.

How do you define systems programming? If you define it as writing operating systems then your statement is a bit of a tautology. If you define it as anything other than applications programming then I would say there are successful languages not tied to a specific OS, first and foremost Java.
Items that are on the same "level" of indentation, I.e. in a codeblock can have all of them prepended with the whitespace, and then separated with semi-colons.

def func(param):
for i in xrange(5):
print("Inner");print("AnotherLine");print("YetAnotherLine")

From the example you see that whitespace is still necessary, but you could "group" items and not have to repeat the whitespace that forms their level of indentation.
I'm glad to hear that it might be more nuanced than what he implies. I am considering exploring Poland a bit, perhaps trying to live there for a year or something.

Would you mind exchanging views and advice on the matter? I have some questions :). Probably off-thread is better, a starting point could be contacting me at m8r-6hvvy11@mailinator.com, i can give you a real email address from there. No pressure though, i understand if you don't feel like it.
Hi!
Every business has its risks.
Some customers may break the laws. Mostly we faced downloading stolen films, software and other stuff.

Real hackers and carders do not use low-end cheap VPN.

So our customers were mostly people who just want to bypass government blocks.
I'll need concrete examples of good/bad tests to have any idea what you're talking about at this point. You say they're worthless but then say they're good for well-defined APIs, which is precisely what unit tests are for.
I'm an undergrad who's taken a single linear algebra course, gotten through the first round of multivar calculus and statistics. I found the link below to be a really good outline, and impetus for further googling. Basically, I'll read through it, and whenever I don't recognize a term, I'll spend an hour or two going through that term, and then return to this link for some contextualization of whatever the hell it is that I just read!

There is a simpler question - could one tell anxiety from hunger? (I can't) or the feeling of being hungry "reuses anxiety" in context?

This explains why stressed people are overeating - they misinterpret their anxiety as feeling hungry and develop a habit of "eating it over".

You have to cut the "%22" off the end of that URL for it to work. 404 otherwise.
At least Rust has Servo and is being used in Firefox- while not really operating systems you would write Rust applications on, it's closer than many dead/dying systems languages have.

Another interesting route would be kernel modules- Rust could be a good language to write drivers in, if you need the extra security.

I don't think it necessarily needs a whole OS to itself just to survive.
Greece is now able to run a primary surplus: revenue > expenditure. However, revenue < expenditure + interest payments.
Which is why I'd be the guy studying at McD's in ear-shot of the cashier. When I hear somebody order 10 I ask them to order 20 and I'll pay them a quarter.
If you can even come close to explaining how to replicate your results in 12 or 20 pages, you're not really doing an experiment that is non-trivial to replicate. Constraining science to protocols that can be explained in 12-20 pages would be stupid and wrong; almost any protocol used in a modern lab will take longer to explain than that.

With all due respect, the assertion that a typical protocol should be able to fit in the length of a typical CS publication is pure hubris. (And when you need a 200 page TR to explain things, my arguments about unjustified cost start resonating because you're demanding a dissertation or two per published paper.)

> such questions did not take half a day to answer.

Just because the science you did was trivial to replicate does not mean all science is trivial to replicate.

Yeah, when replication involves nothing more or less than compiling code on commodity hardware, I can imagine replication protocols are probably pretty easy to explain... it's a small wonder anyone had to email you about this at all.

> "To replicate and check methodology, `darcs clone ...`".

However, the assertion that replicating any experiment is basically no more difficult that downloading some source code and compiling/running it is... arrogant in the extreme.

It's nice that some Computer Scientists can "replicate" their results by saying "oh yeah compile and run this code on the same dataset".

But asserting that all science is like this is underestimating the difficulty of replication even in CS. What happens when your dataset is terabytes in size and requires a specially configured cluster of GPUs or FPGAs to process in the next year? What if you have a half million dollar robot that has to be built to spec? Give me the 12 page IKEA manual for building a half-million dollar robot that has only ever been built once before. Or even the 200 page manual. Not all Computer Science can be done on a laptop, and the assertion that it can is, again, arrogant.

Even more to the point, most laboratory experiments are not run entirely by autonomous robots that you can load code into and walk away; in fact, many require steps that require skills in the lab that can only come with lots of practice. Hell, limiting ourselves to protocols that are easy to use and fit in 12-20 pages would ban the contents of upper-level undergraduate lab assignments.

There is nothing wrong with an experiment requiring skill to replicate. Banning protocols that are difficult for non-experts to follow for intrinsic reasons would basically ban all modern experimental science.
That said, "recklessness" is not by itself "mental illness", and from the emails it doesn't sound like this guy is suffering from clinical paranoia. He comes off more as a "jerk", which is not by itself actionable even in the bad old days when we did lock up the "crazy", until he acts like this that endanger others, and the criminal justice system sounds like the right venue to me (ignoring the minor detail that nowadays invoking the police is to be avoided at nearly all costs).

Hmmm, for that matter, if he appeared to be genuinely mentally ill, I don't think there's a way to deal with him without involving the police at some point or another.

You got lucky. Sounds like your wife got lucky too :)

But for every one of you, I'll find ten others who expected a relationship to pull them off a bad trajectory (esp. addiction), and instead found someone who enables, and often shares and promotes, their self-destruction.
Well, that was an unexpected and uncontrolled structural disintegration.

SpaceX – Launch Vehicle Failure
About 3 minutes in the vehicle appeared to explode. At the time it was ~15km downrange, going 1km/s and around 35km up in the atmosphere.

UPDATE: Contingency press conference scheduled for 12:30pm EST- NASA TV said they wouldn't have much to update before then.
I think so. Looks like it.
did it just blow up?
How did you conclude that I speed? Do comments like that cause you to be less of a presumptuous dick?

Maybe, just maybe, humans are not biologically equipped to be moving at the speeds that we do on the roads as well as the complexity of situations faced on the road. Both you, me and the bikers. Supplementing those biological shortcomings, in any way possible, is a clear win for those who care (possibly not for people who don't and would rather just pointlessly argue by positing that people speed without never having seen them actually drive).

Maybe, just maybe, that is why robots have been shown to be better drivers and maybe until we get to the point of entirely replacing human drivers we could have less accidents as a result of supplementing our inadequacies. Despite whatever presumptuous and pointless argument people like you make in order to try make me a villain simply by virtue of me choosing to be behind a wheel and not handlebars.

Arguments like yours really make we wonder if there actually are brains in this community. That level of discussion is something I would expect from an ignorant child.

Let's assume that your juvenile outburst was, indeed, true. What have you then added to the discussion? Nothing. More visible cyclists are still more visible to the type of lunatic that I am. This means that I would more likely avoid them. Saving lives.

If all you care about is finding out who to blame, go right ahead. The rest of the intelligent world will carry on trying to find solutions.

It's his actual job - to represent and follow the opinion of the people. It's called democracy. And if the opinion of the majority is wrong, then, in this case, so be it.
I'm sure that sentiment makes sense if you're in the city. But I'm equally sure that there are a ton of people in the crumbling former mill-towns upstate that would love to have jobs and wealth pouring into their areas.

How does NY even function as a state? I came from Maine, where we bitch constantly about what we call "the two Maines," basically Portland and its suburbs, and then the rest of the state, which is thinly populated and rural. The politics and value systems are almost opposite in the two sections. Is there a dynamic like this in NY?
Yeah- not much to say but the silence is sad. It looked like it was going well too...

If you don't write a destructor, and the class needs one, the compiler will write one for you. Same with some of the other special functions.

The rule might be expressed as "try to write classes that are adequately served by the compiler-generated special functions" (which the compiler will write consistently).

If all your member objects have destructors, there should be nothing left to do. The generated destructor recurses over these and that is that. So writing a custom destructor is for cases when something additional needs to be done because some members don't clean themselves up, or there is some other issue even if they all do. The Rule of Zero seems to be saying that these cases tend to be code smell.

Anyway, of course you have to write (or at least declare) a destructor if you need a virtual one, at the bottom of a class hierarchy.

~MyAbstractBase() = 0;

The language-supplied destructor will not be virtual, and certainly not pure virtual.
The economy in Poland is almost exactly 3x weaker/smaller than the US. Sure, it means that soda is only $0.66 a can, that you can buy a feast for ~$7, and that clothes are extremely inexpensive; imported goods, however, carry the American price. You're not buying an iPhone on your salary. (Hardly anyone does.)

If you travel to Poland with a pile of money, the living is far from difficult. It's quite a great place to go on vacation. (Especially if you already know the language like myself.) But taxes there are high and many people find themselves in poverty.

I agree that it's worth betting on Poland's future. CD Projekt RED is leading the pack in bringing new tech industry to Poland, for instance. I can only see a brighter future.

At the same time, I don't want to live there. Not yet.
Thing is, we have numerous specific atrocities that are cited in these stories, which we do not, to my knowledge, have about Tor.

Awkwards silence on the livestream... RIP Falcon 9. Still happy birthday Elon, I guess ?
Don, what is it with you? We met once when you interviewed at Netscape, yet I have a very long log of hate-messages, truly hateful stuff, that you've put on my facebook content or sent me there sporadically over the years, including from your fake accounts (one was just suspended).

You are acting the bully and bigot. Ok, I can take it, but it doesn't help anyone, certainly not you. What's the point?
Happy birthday Elon! We know you'll do it eventually.

I was wondering what happened. This was my first time watching the live stream so I wasn't sure if that was normal or not.

As the ship exploded, the words on the screen were something to the tune of "At this point, the ship is under the highest aerodynamic pressure".
Yes, I remember that marketing gimmick as well. (Actually I don't at all, but if that really happened it was much more likely intentional)
Hate to see it also. It think things were going bad right from the beginning though (a completely uneducated guess).
Damn now I feel bad for saying that.
Reality is an incubator of hate. You're not obliged to participate in it online, much like in real life.
I wouldn't mind hate if it was directed at buzzfeed.
It's neither good nor bad. It's just a preference and/or philosophy.

SpaceX Rocket Explodes After Launch for Space Station Mission
No, it was removed for ulcerative colitis. If gut bacteria affected mood I would have noticed now I have a lot less but there wasn't any change.
I sat here watching it go up and thought "please don't blow up. please don't blow up." I should have stayed in bed. Sorry all.
From the timeline, and from remembering past launches, I'm pretty sure it was well past Max-Q.
Your post was in my mind when I was watching the live stream. Your post was the first thing that I thought of when I realised what had happened.
It looked like the exhaust fumes changed patern and than everything desintegrated ... maybe it autodistructed ... it did not look like it changed direction or anything before the explosion
The key thing now is the reaction to a catastrophic failure. Can't let it grind everything to a halt.
A valiant effort! Keep up the good work. Everyone is rooting for your success.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX rocket explodes
On the video it looked to me like a tank ruptured somewhere in the top half of the rocket, probably the second stage, and set free all the fuel. The rocket kept its course for some time until it suddenly disintegrated.
Yeah, rocket science!
Do you have a source for that? It's really hard to differentiate between some guy on twitter and some guy that happens to work for SpaceX on twitter.
So what's going to happen to the astronauts aboard the ISS - this was a resupply mission. How much longer can they stay up there with their current supplies?
I almost felt like I heard that tension in the announcer's voice.
Has anyone got a video recording?
Hope SpaceX bounces back with another launch. They were hoping to get the landing spot on today, and then this happens. I am feeling for the guys on the floor...
Seems like we do ok once we're in space, it's the going in between that's the hard part.
I think (of course just an uneducated guess) things were going poorly from the beginning. It just looked slower than usual. Also, it looked like some of the engine exhaust was in places it should not have been several seconds before the "anomaly".

I hope they get everything figured out and get back on track soon. Best wished.
It's never going to work well until we find a way to get to space without lighting our asses on fire.
No, the thing is that violent encounters with the police are reported by the media, and nonviolent encounters are not, because they're not news.

Based on reporting, one could also assume American blacks are violent thugs, Muslims are hate filled radicals, and all the Jews in the world are in Israel.
Yeah, that was one expensive fireworks display. But I guess, happy birthday Elon.
Indeed it was around main engine cutoff.
I heard this on the NASA stream... but don't quote me on this
My thoughts go out to the SpaceX team. Must be devastating to see your hard work blow up :-(
Man that sucks... At least it wasn't a manned flight yet.
I can't believe I fell for buzzfeed clickbait on HN. :(
Bonus points if any of the debris lands on the barge!
Its OK. We know it wasn't intentionally.
You're quoting yourself here, what do you mean? If you're not supposed to say this then simply don't or do it with a throwaway.
> This is why it's time to move to Rust.

It's time to move some C++ development to something. But there are too many choices to be able to just flatly declare that something to be Rust.

A lot of what is done in C++ should move to an actual high level language.
Lift-off looked normal, seemed like things were going fine. Personally, I noticed a darker piece of material fly off the rocket, and then disintegration. Will be interesting to hear the reason/root cause.
Yep, May 15. I like Rust, I'm slowly starting to port some of my code to it, but the amount of pre-1.0 hype it's received on HN is crazy. There's a ton of outdated information hanging around Google, there's a lot of lacking documentation, and there are still many many features which are not fully baked yet.

Relax. Give it some time. Unless if you've written a gigantic widely-used project in Rust, you probably shouldn't be telling other people to go do that at this point.
same feeling here. anyway, you could see the cap going off before rocket was self destructed. dunno if was part of the sequence.

the engine exhaust plume expansion reminded of that time they lost a nozzle due to high pressure, but again hard to tell if it was cause or effect from the armchair
Especially since dude's already got a felony sex conviction.
Ask HN: How do you prioritize side projects?
I'm an entrepreneur, and like many on here, I've got a few side projects in addition to my main startup.

Some of these provide cash flow, some have the potential to build credibility / personal brand, and some might support the startup, and some are just for fun.

After mapping out all the projects and all the things I want to get done over the next 6 months, I've realized that I can't possibly do them all if I want to do them right. So I'm cutting out a few things?

How do you prioritize side projects? How do you balance fun vs. money vs. long-term potential gain?

The article is talking about the subscribers of a specific subreddit.
You have definitely chosen to make me the issue, Don. The personal animus you sent my way over the years on Facebook got your fake account banned, and it does you no credit.

I'm not going to post that message log for detraction's sake, but people need to know that there is a log. You can't pretend to be civil here as if we are starting from a clean slate, and play _tu quoque_ games.

Anyway, you interrupted BobNNN, who was making me the issue with a personal attack (that I'm anti-gay) based on a circular argument.

I'm definitely the focal point of lots of anger, I get it. The 7M who voted for Prop 8 have me as single-combat avatar now. None of them have to pipe up; I'm "it". But really, any fool can find and read the arguments for Prop 8. I've made some here and cited links.

Don't fixate on Scalia, his intemperate dissent is neither relevant to Prop 8 in its context, nor the best dissent to read (try Roberts).

Given your pathological hate-messaging at me over the years, I'm not going to throw more words your way. You're a smart guy, read all the content here, follow the links. Don't make me or you the issue, look to the substance, not the person.
First time i watch SpaceX launch. Rocket explodes. Disappointed.
