> The SCOTUS shouldn't wait on consensus. They don't need that. They need to decide if it is legal or not.

This is a really bad idea, you're basically describing an oligarchy. The Supreme Court is really a consensus-enforcing machine, for the most part.
For my side project, I use yesod/websockets for the server and haxe for the client. I feel ok with that choice instead using hpaste. Though eventually I would like to see a complete haskell stack.
@Lewissham: about the fourth attempt, it just so happens that this was my third attempt at getting something that was right for me as well as maintaining the typesafety. I do realize that code is still not as seamless as I would like. It still lets me understand the overall roadmap that the code needs to take to be usable/maintainable etc.

That is what I and other people I know did - work up to a better salary.

If you don't mind living in an area without the Tube you can find some really nice leafy places with a great lifestyle.

Where I live now it doesn't even feel like a big city and I am 20 minutes by train to the center.
God that would be awesome, wouldn't it? I've got a few one-change repos cluttering up my GitHub account. I don't do anything with them now that the one feature I needed is back upstream. Should I delete them? I don't know.
The domain, product, or use case is what draws me in. But then, I'm of the "classic" engineering mindset; a maker. Code is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
I'm thinking of doing the same. I make more money than I ever imagined I would but the quality of life is crap. Shit properties, polluted, unfriendly people, overpriced...

I'm thinking I might do another year then bail.

All I want is a place where people are actually friendly, not too busy to care about each other, somewhere with a garage for my motorbikes and a garden for barbecues. Not much to ask, but can't see London being the place.

I'm literally only in London now for the money.
It's hard enough sometimes getting people to turn on compiler warnings.
Good question. Unfortunately no, not yet. It's not context sensitive, actually it's as dumb as a brick:) If you enter the name of a table followed by a dot, it will offer only the columns from the table. Other than that, it offers pretty much all objects and filters them as you type.

I've been wanting to implement a SQL parser (at least for SQLite) so I can offer meaningful autocomplete, and some other nice features, but it was a lower priority than other things. I've done some work with Antlr a few years ago, but I'm itchin' to roll my own since I'm already dusting off my compiler theory books...

Anyway, why not give it a try, the trial is free:)
I don't understand why they'd do this. My understanding is that the Tesla self-driving cars are not end-to-end autonomous like Google's. What benefit would they be to Uber in this case?
Violating labor and transportation laws to drive demand isn't being a disruptor.

Are we so tone deaf in the HackerNews bubble that we don't realize that labor rights aren't a four letter word? I'm not for regulator capture with regards to taxi medallions, but I am supportive of regulations that permit people to have an acceptable quality of life.

Or do we need to wait for the next bubble to burst and devs on the street with signs saying "will develop in React for food" to see that? Shall we look down on them as people look down on these protests? (Note: I DO NOT condone property damage or violence)
>Considering there are plenty of examples of "gay" marriage from thousands of years ago

That is not true. There are examples in Western Civilization of the acceptance of some homosexual behavior, but not of same sex marriage.

Not even Roman Emperor Hadrian was able to marry his lover.
I generally agree, but ...

> At bottom, this isn't a right flowing from the dictates of the Constitution. Nobody in 1789 would have said that gay marriage is a fundamental right. We acknowledge the right today for the same reason we acknowledge many other rights we did not acknowledge then--society as a whole has agreed to recognize the right

Looking at just the legal aspects, in 1789 (and 1776) we did recognize that 'all men are created equal' and equal protection (and due process might apply too). From those rights flows the idea that a right conferred to some, such as marraige, should not be denied to others.

> It is important that the Court not act ahead of society.

I wonder how much of this is due to the Court being unable to act far ahead of society. The Court has no real power of enforcement; for example, when the Supreme Court ruled for Indians whose land was siezed in Georgia, President Andrew Jackson (now on your $20 bill) famously said "[Chief Justice] John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

If they rule and are ignored, they lose credibility and influence and gain nothing. I wonder how often judges take than into consideration (especially judges in lower courts, such as municipal courts).

Uber has been investing heavily themselves in self-driving cars. They know that Tesla won't have a product available to buy in 2020.

And here's the source quote:

"Jurvetson said Uber CEO Travis Kalanick told him that if Tesla cars are autonomous by 2020, Kalanick wants to buy all 500,000 that are expected to be produced."

> Can anybody counter Scalia, and say why the issue of gay marriage couldn't wait to be resolved by the states?

For the same reason that slavery couldn't be resolved by the states. For the same reason that racism can't be resolved by the states. Because these things haven't gotten resolved by states. The United States of America, sadly, has a significant minority of people who Just Don't Get It, and there are enough of them that if (when) they congregate they can form majorities in a number of states. And so the federal government needs to step in and dope-slap these people from time to time.
The same reason that the Civil Rights act had to be passed in the courts and the first students in integrated schools in the south had to be marched in with armed guard.

"Democracy" is frequently used interchangeably with freedom, but never underestimate the power of a close-minded majority to rule with tyranny and impose their will and discrimination on a minority - racial, sexually-orientatated, or otherwise.
I think a large part about "tolerance" is actually knowing someone in [whatever minority group].

I've been thinking of having contrived mechanisms exist, basically "meet a gay person" info booths.

As an experienced bike commuter, I wonder how you feel about an issue that bugs me. When I was young I was taught to ride against the flow of auto traffic so that I could see cars coming. When I taught my kids I told them the same thing, but that has been countered by every other authority they have come into contact with, all of which instruct them to follow the same rules as cars, including riding on the same side of the road. I do all my riding on a trail, but my personal feeling is that if I were riding on a road I would not ride with car traffic. However I know people who have been ticketed/warned about riding against. If you really follow a rule that you're invisible when riding, then it would be hard to justify riding with auto traffic, rather than against, wouldn't it?
The whole article basically says that Travis says that he'll buy half a million Tesla cars in 2020 if Tesla can actually make the cars fully autonomous by then.

Fully driverless cars are still not going to be a good thing for Uber.
Luckily their participation is not necessary.
Seems like you don't have any idea how marriage-based immigration works. It's not as easy as "ok, you have a marriage license? Welp, you're in!"

There are multiple interviews where they pick through every piece of evidence of a bona-fide relationship to establish that you haven't married for convenience. This continues even after you get your green card. If at any time they decide you attempted to defraud an immigrations official for any reason, they can come by and party van you.

As someone who hates debuggers and is a fan of "learning by doing", I make heavy use of console.log() or similar, and I start putting breakpoints all over the code that print out sentinels ("hey, I'm in this part of the code") and data ("the content of this variable are: XXXX").

Then I run the app and put it through its paces, while watching the output in another console.

If there's some code that doesn't make sense, I use console.log() heavier in that section, to help me fully understand what it does. Once I have that level of understanding, I then write some comments in the code and commit them so that other contributors may benefit in the future.
Ironically, Scalia's language in Windsor and Lawrence before that were what opened the door to federal courts nationwide overturning gay marriage bans:

"The real rationale of today’s opinion, whatever disappearing trail of its legalistic argle-bargle one chooses to follow, is that DOMA is motivated by ‘bare … desire to harm’ couples in same-sex marriages. How easy it is, indeed how inevitable, to reach the same conclusion with regard to state laws denying same-sex couples marital status" (Windsor, J. Scalia, dissenting).

“[W]hat justification could there possibly be for denying the benefits of marriage to homosexual couples exercising ‘the liberty protected by the Constitution’? Surely not the encouragement of procreation, since the sterile and the elderly are allowed to marry.” (Lawrence, J. Scalia, dissenting).

Roberts also argued Scalia's own logic back at him in this week's decision upholding the ACA, noting that in 2012 in the decision upholding the requirement to buy health insurance Scalia had stated in his dissent that without the subsidies (for low income insurance buyers), "the exchanges would not operate as Congress intended" because health insurance would be too expensive for low-income taxpayers.
That same concern already equally applies to traditional marriage, in which some % are abusive. If you have a problem with polygamy on that basis, then you've got a drastically larger problem with the already existing system of marriage, in which millions of instances of abuse occur annually.

The best solution is to bring polygamy out into the open, legalize it fully nationally.

The government has no business dictating who can get married, or what the structure of marriage looks like, so long as the people in question are of sound mind and adults.

If I want to form a ten person marriage, with five men and five women, whose business is it to control us and stop us? There are only bigoted 'answers' as to why that shouldn't be allowed.
Because they have been predisposed by postmodern feminism to believe that all men are latent rapists and child molesters? They can go fuck themselves.

"Equal" means equal opportunity.
But...Uber's core competency is organizing drivers & vehicles without hiring/owning them. I'm leery of companies making dramatic change to their core; owning a fleet of a half-million vehicles is quite different from just telling them where to go.
How well does that high-vis gear sell in Copenhagen?

> Polygamy is a Christian institution. It was pointedly prescribed in the old testament.

Correction: "Christian" refers to Jesus Christ, which does not appear in the old testament. Catholics, Ortodoxes and many protestant churches are against polygamy.
The snippet you posted will compute an aggregation based on a fixed time interval. I.e. it will put every row into a "bucket" of per-minute granularity and then compute an aggregate function for each of those buckets bucket, taking into account only the rows that ended up in that specific bucket (i.e. only rows from that specific minute). To put it another way this is asking the question "Please give me the aggregate of some value per minute".

To make my question more precise; I was trying to ask specifically about a "moving window aggregation" (e.g. a moving average over a timeseries). This is more like asking the question "Please give me every minute an aggregate based on all values in the last N minutes". To do that you need each input row to end up in more than one bucket (or have a special type of aggregation function like postgres does).

For example, if you were doing a moving aggregation with a 1-minute interval ("bucket size") and a 5 minute window ("lookback"), you would need to place each row into 5 buckets: The bucket into which it belongs based on it's timestamp and the 4 previous buckets. And a vanilla SQL GROUP BY can't do that.

Hope that makes sense.

> The real issue here is about the rights and responsibilities that are associated with marriage.

Indeed, that's my point. Those rights and responsibilities should not be legally associated with marriage. I would prefer that one be able to live with whomever one pleases, arrange for hospital visitation and medical decision making with whomever one pleases, share bank accounts with whomever one pleases, et cetera.
I don't recall any bakers being punished for refusing to perform a gay marriage. When did that happen?
Sure. We all have biases. Almost everything I think about in engineering is passed through two filters: bayes, and nonlinear optimization[1]. It's enormously useful, and leads me to a lot of insights that others don't come up with. But it is a bias, and we always have to guard against it leading us down the wrong path.

[1] By this I mean I always ask myself - am I incorporating all information, and in a probabilistic (Bayesian) way. If not, have I analytically proven that I can discard the information (dimensionality reduction). If I haven't proven it, my 'go to' assumption is that information, no matter how noisy, should be incorporated until I can prove analytically or empirically that it isn't needed. In more concrete terms people endlessly hand wave "that isn't important" when I ask a question, but then I go prove it is important. It's a cheap trick in some sense, but it sure does work. Don't throw away information. Likewise, I view everything as a nonlinear estimation/optimization problem. I think in terms of manifolds and surfaces - what are my variables, what can I vary, can I vary them smoothly (is the surface locally smooth and continuous). In concrete terms, maybe you are trying to figure out what features to add to a product. Lots of choices, lots of unknowns. Can I iteratively come to an answer in an agile way, do I have to make some discontinuous jumps, what step size should I use, etc. It's all just 'mathy'. Meaning I don't have analytic equations for these decisions, but thinking about it as if it is is usually very informative.

So I 100% agree with the quote.
I'm glad we'll have full gay marriage now.

But the idea that "the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage" is pretty laughable.

Does anyone really believe this right was in the Constitution for 250 years, only to be discovered recently? In reality public opinion and culture changed, and 5 justices decided to change the law.

Linux distinguishes devices by their manufacturer and device ID and loads the driver that matches most specifically. There are plenty of drivers for specific mice, and the correct kernel module is loaded automatically (via udev). The generic driver (hid-generic) matches all HID devices (mice and keyboard) and provides basic functionality for all such devices.

Inserting a kernel module is fast. What else would you need?

Actually it is not. Buying an asset have sense only when you know you are going to use it for at least is depreciation lifespan. If you have to sell it before that (because forced laid-off, moving out from city, etc.) you will most likely lose money since probably the interest rates are higher than the valuation rate. This is why most big company owns their headquater (they know/hope to use it for a long time) but rent everything else (They can find a bigger place easily if they need to hire more people, etc.)

Ah, the old valuation chestnut. There ought to be a journalism ethics rule prohibiting use of the word "valuation" with respect to previous transactions unless every such transaction was purely for common equity. The only idea sillier than that every (or any!) investor actually values Uber at $50b is that they can get their hands on $20b to buy 500,000 fully autonomous cars in 2020. No part of this assertion is sane, and no part will come to fruition. The cars Uber would need won't exist in 2020, and probably not in 2120 either. To the extent that someone does manage to build one, it won't be available for anything like $40,000, and it won't be built in any quantity. Uber itself may not even exist in 2020, and if it does it will likely be a shell of its former high-flying self, reined in by the same regulations its direct competitors all have to abide by.

Utter rubbish.
> gay marriage is illegal

Hah, this seems like a strange way to put it -- "get a gay marriage, go to jail". Maybe the word is used in that way, but I'd tend to say something more like "doesn't exist" or "isn't recognised".
The question isn't about whether they're necessary, the question is what happens to someone whose services are solicited and they refuse.

This point does not get addressed nearly enough. Aline (I think?) mentioned elsewhere in the thread that much of the conventional wisdom on hiring has come from Google and other companies with deep hiring pipelines. Google can afford high false positive rates because their pipeline still generates sufficient numbers of hires in spite of it. This fact seems to be lost on most of the small companies trying to cargo-cult their hiring practices.
Polygamy makes no sense from a power structure standpoint, it is inherently unequal. The man (generally) gets X women and each woman gets one man (the same man). If polygamy meant a web of relationships, where everyone was equally married to everyone else, that would be conceptually more fair, but as is, the power structure of polygamy as defined by the only religious sect with much influence in the US is an inherently less than equal partnership.
I don't think it's as rigorously defined as it's purported to be. I just envision the practical application of manipulating values to produce desired results, and then post-hoc rationalizing those value manipulations to obtain a higer-than-warranted level of confidence in the result, because, "I applied rigor!"
